I cant get trigger.misc.getUserFlag to work

[Zachc12385]

here's my script

--part 1

do
 trigger.action.setUserFlag(5, math.random(1, 10))
end

--part 2

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(5),1) == 5 then

do
   mist.cloneInZone('Ground-1', {'New Trigger Zone-1','New Trigger Zone-2','New Trigger Zone-3','New Trigger Zone-4','New Trigger Zone-5','New Trigger Zone-6','New Trigger Zone-7','New Trigger Zone-8','New Trigger Zone-9','New Trigger Zone-10','New Trigger Zone-11','New Trigger Zone-12','New Trigger Zone-13','New Trigger Zone-14','New Trigger Zone-15','New Trigger Zone-16','New Trigger Zone-17','New Trigger Zone-18','New Trigger Zone-19','New Trigger Zone-20'})
   offsetRoute = True

end

 

I've tried changing "if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(5),1) == 5 then" in many ways with no success. Part 1 of the script works fine but the 2nd part im having all sorts of issues. Please is there anyone who knows what is going wrong? I just want to spawn a random group in a random zone. I have no idea how to debug this

Hi!

Have not tested your code, but looks like its the ",1)" in your if statement.
Should look like this: if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(5) == 5 then

Here is an example i tested and works:

trigger.action.setUserFlag(5, math.random(1, 2))

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(5) == 2 then
	trigger.action.outText("Flag is correct!",20)
else
	trigger.action.outText("Flag is wrong!",20)
end

 

Hope this helps

Here is an example.  It's long ... 

This is yours -- 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(5),1) == 5 then

is missing a "(" like this Flag((5,1) == 5,,,, but I don't know if that actually works

 

local msg = {}
msg[#msg + 1]='Welcome to the Witches Hollo mission! \n \n'
if trigger.misc.getUserFlag('30000') == 0 then -- All Four Objectives Still Alive -- Blue Counter F30000 is False
