"MAP OBJECT IS DEAD" doesn't trigger

[d0ppler]

I see that the building is completely destroyed when I test this

 

Is it bugged?

Didn't knew about this trigger condition, did a quick test at Marianas, like this:

 

 

and it seems to work on my end:

 

 

Maybe it's that specific building of yours that has issues, have you tested this trigger with other buildings?

Thanks for letting me know about this feature, I may be using it on my future missions.

I tried it on several different buildings at the Kola map, no success. However, I get it to work at the Caucasus map, so it might be a bug with the Kola map

Hi,

Just tested at Kola, with 2 different buildings, and can confirm that this trigger condition do not work on that map, pity

Thanks for testing this out, Rudel! 

Lets hope someone at ED (or ORBX?) see this.

Sorry to hijack this: How do you get the name of the map object in the first place? Is it a function of the "zone" object?

right click on the object, the assign.. option is the one

Work around that may work is put a soldier unit inside and use it to detect hit.  In some cases they'll sit inside so you won't see them, but they may sit on top so may or may not work.

Yeah, I've added a cow on top of the buildings I want to trigger

It makes Me LAUGH some of the workarounds Users have to do just get basic things to work 

Your work around has real credibility as you can see in the picture the real live cow even used a ladder to get up on a roof 

I used to create Trains   and do lots of tricks with them but got " FLAMED I WAS WRONG AND I WAS JUST USING WORK AROUNDS "

I learned my lesson so i do not share anything now 

Have the Cows got pet names like " Daisy, Doris, BigMewEee, NineLines"   or just id numbers ?

Do you put fences around the roof tops to stop the Cows from wandering off and getting hurt before you Vapourise them ?

Sorry, my cows only go by numbers, and they're all too afraid to jump down, so a fence is not necessary. 

 

And I really think you should share your work, you'll always have haters, unfortunately.

Well, this brought back to mind a possible solution for your Map Object Is Dead problem.

There are comments in this ^^^ thread about initiator.id vs initiator.id_, and other points about avoiding errors. I will attach the mission and notes. Unfortunately, the images in my posts are gone as I had exceeded my file limit a while back...
