Trigger to detect...

[duexmad]

Hello all,

I am trying a make a map where a soldier is parachuted and needs to land at a DZ (Drop Zone).

Now the 'problem' is this;

The Trigger  will go off, if a 'west' unit (i.e. soldier under canopy) hits it while in the air. (even with the F2 mouse drag)

I need a trigger to detect it once the soldier in on the ground and not in the air.

Is that possible???

Thanks in advance.

hmm..

experiment with the canstand commad and if that doesn't work

_soldier = _this select 0
#height
_height = getpos _soldier select 2
?_height < 2: goto "activate"
~1
goto "height"
#activate
type here a condition to activate the trigger
exit

activate the script by typing [soldiername] exec "scriptname.sqs"

Dear Artak,

Thank you!
I will check it out and post the results here ASAP.

Also, at the '#activation'

Could I type this in?

_vehicle == player

(To detect once the player is out of the chopper)

Thanks again!

You donÂ't have to script .

Tried that , Armstrong  

Code: [Select]

? (getPos this select 2 < 40) and (getPos this select 2 > 25):trigger1=true

But, gave me some weird error message (not so 'weird for you guys').

basically it is saying that the '?' is  "Invalid Number in expression"

'|#|? (getPos this select 2 < 40) and (getPos this select 2 > 25):trigger1=true :Error Invalid Number in expression

I have placed that line on the 'Condition' and on the 'On Activation' no luck.
What am I doing wrong? I know it has to be something with the '?' mark (?)

 :-\

You can't have ? in a trigger.. *cough*

The triggers condition line has a 'build-in' ?-mark in it.

Well, Armstrong suggested that you don't have to script
but the command he gave you does only work in scripts  

If you want to use this in a trigger, you need to cut it into
two parts:

condition:
(getPos soldier select 2 < 40) and (getPos soldier select 2 > 25)

onActivation: trigger1=true

Thanks guys got it figured out.

just put this In the CONDITION field of the trigger:

This AND (getpos UnitName select 2 < N)

Then the trigger will fire when the unit is present, and "N" meters or less above the ground.

Hope this helps you
