Trigger (thislist)

[24Gamer]

I have a trigger thatis the size of the map area, and when it is activated i have
Hint Format ["%1", thislist select 1]
as the On activation code, yet i get an error. im trying to make a script to clear the bodies once the trigger is activated yet it im having problems with the array :-/ (count = 0) anyone know why?

[Artak]

what's the activation side of the trigger? A trigger takes in it's 'list' only the units which are of the same side as the side that's set in the trigger options.

[24Gamer]

the map is capture the flag and the activation is (East Not present) this and EFlagTaken

[24Gamer]

or even better would be if you could guide me on how to make a script to clear all the bodies when it is run (with a trigger etc.)

I have a feeling there is a delete dead bodies script/tutorial in the Ed Depot.

[24Gamer]

yeah i found one but it deletes the unit after it dies, i want to make a script that deletes all the units when a trigger is activated

Put this in the onactivation of your trigger :

Code: [Select]

"deletevehicle _x" foreach thislist


[24Gamer]

wouldn't that delete everything? even things that aren't dead  

[Blanco]

yes, it depends what's in the condition of you trigger.

[dalton]

blitz, not everything goes into the description.ext...


o and for the deletebody thing, you could also make a script:

_body= this select 0

#loop
(not alive) body: deletevehicle body
~20


correct me if im wrong

[Artak]

_body = _this select 0

#loop
?!alive _body: deletevehicle _body; exit
~20
goto "loop"

 

[24Gamer]

what calls the script?
