how do you trigger when several groups die?

[Pixie]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but im a noob to this.

I have tried to assign groups names with "NAME=group this"

and then in the trigger !(alive NAME)and !(alive NAME2) etc.

what am i doing wrong

Sorry, but you should know by your self, as the game tells it to you...

alive command works only with units NOT WITH GROUPS, so you name it correct but make this kind of condition: Count units NAME1 == 0 It returns true, when everybody in the group are killed... (men=0)

Thanks ill give it a try

[Peter_Bullet]

Note that it takes the game some time to figure out that the count is 0.... So be patient

[macguba]

"alive _x" count units grp1 == 0

is quicker.   Syntax not guaranteed.  A simple count units command can take several minutes.

[Peter_Bullet]

But shouldn't there be forEach somewhere (Great idea, I've had problems with that count thing )

[macguba]

No.   Although I understand why you ask.

Count and forEach use similar syntax for different purposes.    forEach is used when you want a command to be carried out by each unit in the array.     Count is used when you want to count the number of units in the array that fulfil the condition.     Doing a command, and fulfulling a condition are obviously two entirely different things which is why there are two commands, forEach and count.

Count can also be used just to count the members of an array, without the _x bit.

Great! Thanks! That will be a good help in my coming missions!
