Problem with "time since flag"

[exil]

Gentlemen,

 

i need some help with a "time since flag" trigger.

 

I did something like this:

 

 

ONCE -> some condition -> do script:

 

if Unit.getByName('unitxxx'):isActive() then trigger.action.setUserFlag(10, true) end

 

followed by:

 

SWITCHED CONDITION -> time since flag (10, 30) -> activate Group (yyy)

 

But actually nothing happens. If i exchage "time since flag" with "flag is true (10)" everything is working fine. Any help would be appriciated!

Try with a value for flag :

ONCE

if Unit.getByName('unitxxx'):isActive() then trigger.action.setUserFlag(10, 1) end

 

then you can check it with:

 

SWITCHED CONDITION

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(10) == 1 then

trigger.action.activateGroup(Group.getByName('yyy'))

end

 

I can't test it right now, so let me know the result.

Ok, forget about what i said in my previous post - the solution is much more simple: just ad a semicolon before end statement:

 

if Unit.getByName('unitxxx'):isActive() then 
trigger.action.setUserFlag(10, true)[color="Red"];[/color]
end

 

See attched mission as example.

Perfect! That worked! Thank you very much dark_wood. That saved me a lot of time!

 

Out of curiousity: What does the semicolon do?

with pleasure :)

well, it's just the correct syntax for LUA language, it must know where your statements ends, that's all
