Q about killing map objects

[dooom]

… I am having trouble trying to develop a trigger to confirm a map object is dead. Specifically for p-51 mk84 bombing… I don't want to use invisible units because they can die from the bombs but the bombs might not be strong enough to down the bridge…

 

 

Any thoughts or ideas?

In short you can use scripting to check if a world object is alive or dead. The mist function works by keeping a database of all dead objects and then checking if a certain number of dead world objects exist in a trigger zone. If you make the trigger zone small enough to encompass only the bridge, then only the death of a bridge will cause the function to set a flag value to true. There are other ways to do it, but the mist function is the quickest and easiest to use.

Agreed... love that function! VERY easy to set up.

 

Doooom... if you have any issues with it let me know and we'll work through it.

That sounds perfect ... I suppose it's time for me to learn the scripting stuff and go to the next level. I'll review tonight and reach out if I need help! Thanks grimes and eno!
