Immortal On/Off Command - Disable after time or Trigger

[Toni Carrera]

Hi Fellow ME's,

I have Immortal set to on at mission start for an AI unit. What I want to be able to do is after some time, or by way of trigger entry of a different aircraft, remove the immortal from the other AI unit

Anyone know how I can achieve this without MOOSE or MIST, I have not cracked either yet

Thank you

local unit = Unit.getByName("unitNameThatYouWant")
if unit then
  local controller = unit:getController()
  if controller then
    local SetImmortal = {
      id = 'SetImmortal',
      params = {
        value = false
      }
    }
    controller:setCommand(SetImmortal)
  end
end

Thank you Chump. I assume this goes in a trigger script, or does it go in the LUA Predicate of advanced waypoint actions?

[Chump]

You could put this in a ONCE trigger, or an external LUA file. You could use timer.scheduleFunction() if written in LUA, or just set a condition in the mission editor trigger. Let me know if you need syntax help.

Hi Chump

Thank you, and yes, I would appreciate some help as offered

Thanks

There is no need to venture into .LUA land here unless you are already inclined to do so.

 

You can used the triggered actions tab to include a perform command -> immortal on/off trigger which can be activated by any standard means (TIME MORE, UNIT INSIDE ZONE, etc.) Use an AI TASK PUSH trigger to toggle the setting.
