How to create mission trigger for destroying 3 different static Objects

[muse458]

Hi all,

 

quick one, (I hope :)

 

I have a mission where the user has to sink 3 cargo ships (all static objects) to complete the mission. As you can't have a "group" of static objects... how do I write a trigger that only when all three have been sunk the user receives a mission complete message etc.

 

Thanks in advance for any help :)

You need to set an initial flag value (0), then increase it every time a static unit is destroyed. When trigger is equal 3 (all 3 units destroyed), show the success message, something like this:

 

mission start / (no condition) / flag 1 set value 0

trigger once / unit 1 dead / increase flag 1 value with 1

trigger once / unit 2 dead / increase flag 1 value with 1

trigger once / unit 3 dead / increase flag 1 value with 1

trigger once / flag 1 equal 3 / message to coalition: "mission completed"

Ot alternately, a single trigger. Though that is a great example of flags as counters. :thumbup:

 

1 ONCE (ships dead, NO EVENT)

===

UNIT DEAD (ship1)

UNIT DEAD (ship2)

UNIT DEAD (ship3)

===

MESSAGE TO COALITION ('You get a cookie!', 10)

yeah, it's easier with feefifofum's method, i just assumed that you need to know the progress of the mission (you can show messages for each unit destroyed) :)
