setting a trigger after succesfull runway attack

[jakare]

I created a mission with SU25 attacking a runway.

I want to send a message to the blue coalition after the success of the runway attack, to warn them that the runway is no longer usable.

But i can not found a good trigger condition to do that !

Testing if a runway is damaged is kinda tricky. As always you can have infantry stand near the runway and if they get killed you can assume that the runway was hit.

 

Since its an AI attacking the runway you can use 2 trigger zones to determine if its flown over the runway. You will assume it dropped its payload, but usually if the AI fly directly over the runway that would mean they attacked it.

I hope to make "runway_destroyed" a function that will be available within a month or two in a mod I am working on, so hang tight. When a runway or any other static building is destroyed, it generates an event that is stored in memory and can be accessed from the "server" lua environment. So anyway, any static building death can be detected- the tricky part is that you have to know the unique # for that static building. But I can find all those fairly quickly, as there really aren't that many runways on the map.

 

The problem is that it doesn't take much to generate the runway destroyed event. A single bomb will do, possibly something even smaller would work. Once the runway is destroyed, it no longer generates events on being hit again.

I will try that.

That would be good..

 

Thank you both !
