Unit in vehicle

[pazuzu]

How do I detect a unit in vehicle?

I want to know when a squad is loaded in a chopper & use this for a trigger.

Thanks.

The answer is stated in your question

Code: [Select]

unitname in vehiclename

Thanks for the quick reply...

OK, I can get this to work if all units are alive by the time they load in chopper but if any have died It wont fire the trigger so I need to check somehow if unit is alive...

I typed it like this:

p1 in acat AND p2 in acat...etc.

How would I exclude the ones that are dead so trigger will fire when whats left of the group are loaded in chopper?

Thanks.

({_x in acat} count units yourgroup == count units yourgroup)

Thank you...

And how about detecting a unit getting out of vehicle?

What would the syntax be for that?

Thanks again.

[Chris Death]

vehicle unitname == unitname

or

vehicle unitname != acat

or in your case if you want check for the whole group;

"vehicle _x == _x" count units yourgroup == count units yourgroup

Hmm, I cant get that command to work.

Could you give me another example?

I got: vehicle airman != acat

It must be wrong syntax...

Thanks.

To check if a man is NOT aboard of a SPECIFIC vehicle:
! unit in vehiclename
(Example : !Mike in Bradley1)

To check if a man is NOT aboard of a NON-SPECIFIC vehicle:
unit == vehicle unit
(Example : Mike == vehicle Mike)

To check if a man IS aboard of a SPECIFIC vehicle:
unit in vehiclename
(Example : Mike in Bradley1)

To check if a man IS aboard of a NON-SPECIFIC vehicle:
unit != vehicle unit
(Example : Mike != vehicle Mike)

Great...thats much clearer.

Thanks for the help.

How would I use this for a whole group.

To detect group inside vehicle I use:

({_x in acat} count units grp1 == count units grp1)


Maybe just:

({!_x in acat} count units grp1 == count units grp1)

I'll give it a test...

Thanks again.

 ({_x in acat} count units grp1 == count units grp1)
Right if you want to check if all the units of grp1 are aboard of acat

To check if the units are NOT aboard of acat:
 ({_x in acat} count units grp1 == 0)

OK, I'll try that.

It worked like this too:

  ! ({_x in acat} count units grp1 == count units grp1)

Just by puting a "!" before it.

Thanks for the help.

[Triggerhappy]

to make it work more often you should make the check:
 ({_x in acat} count units grp1 == {alixe _x} count units grp1)
because when units die they aren't always removed from the group. it can take a while sometimes

[pazuzu]

Oh I see. Very clever

Thanks.
