Periodic message showing up?!

[strikers_blade]

I want to have a specific message to appear at specific interval if a specific group is alive.

 

As an example, I activate a REDFOR group and if that group is still alive after 5min, I want to say "XYZ". Then reset the timer and wait another 5min, check for group alive and then show "XYZ" again. Rince and repeat...

 

VERY newbie question: What is the best and most efficient to just do such a simple task?

 

I looked into the mist.schedulefunction and timer.schedulefunction but seem overly complicated for such a basic task. I also looked into a "Time more" condition but it works once and never show again afterward.

 

What do you guys think?

4 MISSION START (Timer flag, NO EVENT) ->

no conditions ->

FLAG ON (1)

 

-------------------

 

3 SWITCHED CONDITION (enemy alive, NO EVENT) ->

 

GROUP ALIVE (enemy)

TIME SINCE FLAG (1, 300) ->

 

MESSAGE TO ALL ('Enemy group is alive', 10)

FLAG OFF (1)

FLAG ON (1)

 

 

This will display the message every 5 minutes as long as the group named "enemy" is still alive.

I knew it was too stupid for me to comprehend :D

Thanks Feefifofum.
