Need help with triggers

[Doum76]

Greetings all,

 

I've been trying like hell for a few hours to came up with a solution, and no sucess.....

 

I wanna make some triggers or whatever, so a SA-11 shoot up around 8-9 nm... or activate around that range.

 

I tried to fool around with flags, unit ai on/off, group ai on/off and nothing and nothing at all, it's either they turn on on mission start up, or i sucessfly turn them off on mission start on, but they never turn on after.... :helpsmilie:

 

I know it might be a stupid solution, but i spent already all my patience testing up things....

 

Thanks,

 

Doum

If you want the SA-11 to shoot at the player at that range it should be pretty simple.

 

mission start > (no condition necessary) > group AI off (SA-11)

Once > Unit in zone (Player)(Trigger zone you'll place over the SA-11) > Group AI on (SA-11)

 

You will have to place a trigger zone in the ME over the sam site, for 9nm give it a diameter of about 18KM

 

hope that makes sense

^^^ will only activate the SAM-11 Once.

 

If you want it to do so repeatedly then you must do

 

SWITCHED CONDITION UNIT IN ZONE zoneneame, player GROUP AI ON samname

SWITCHED CONDITION UNIT OUTSIDE ZONE zonename player GROUP AI OFF samname

 

It might be an idea to make the OUTSIDE ZONE trigger a larger diameter than the IN ZONE trigger. That way if he has aquired a lock and you do a quick 180 he will track you for longer.

Ty both it works, i almost had it, but you made me realised some stuff i wasn't using properly, it works like a charm now.
