Helicopter take off condition via flag?

[BIGNEWY]

Hi all

 

I have a blackhawk in a mission i am writing he lands to pick up some troops.

 

Is it possible to make it only take off again when a flag has been triggered in conditions?

 

and if so can you explain it to me :music_whistling:

 

thanks for looking, I appreciate it

The stop condition should work. It appears the text description is cut off in 1.2.2, but its the "Is User (Flag)" condition. The number is the flag represented and the box to the right is whether that flag is true or false.

thanks Grimes I will take a look in a moment :)

Thanks

 

works as you suggested it would,

 

however I did initially make the mistake of trying assign a flag higher than 100 which will not work. The condition can only be set on a flag off 100 or less :)

You can always use the Condition box below it and use lua code:

 

return trigger.misc.getUserFlag(flagnumber)

 

If the flag is true the condition will stop, if the flag is false it will keep going.

 

If you want the flag to be a certain value, you can do something like:

 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(flagnumber) == false then

return true

end

 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag(flagnumber) == 25 then

return true

end

 

The last one *Might* not always work. Flags are kind of weird because in the game they can be either a true/false or hold a number value. So it might give you an error saying something like "cannot compare boolean to number."

thanks for the alternatives :)
