Mission Editor task-solution needed

[BiBa]

I have three ground groups set to "LATE ACTIVATION" and are activated with a Trigger Zone, but I only need one of them to be per "RANDOM" activated. What combination can I make in Mission Editor to make that happen?

 

I have tried everything like setting ONCE in the TRIGGER LIST and under CONDITION a PART OF COALITION IN ZONE with the adequate ZONE and GROUP ACTIVATE in TRIGGER ACTIONS. It works alright to the point when adding 30% RANDOM to CONDITION didn't help further, they always start together .

 

I'll be really grateful for any helpful instruction that makes that work.

Simplest (not necessarily the most elegant) way -

Create a trigger that sets a flag to one of 3 values at startup. (random value between 1,3)

Create a trigger that activates one of the groups (group 1) if the 'trigger zone' condition is met & the flag above's value is 1.

Clone it and change the group to group 2 and flag value = 2

Clone it and change the group to group 3 and flag value = 3

Tanks a lot - works fine now! That's what I love in this Forum: 99% right instructions.

 

One small completion needed. How to trigger a message like "you won" based on the destruction of Random Groups. I have 4 Groups bound to Flag1 with 10 values (10 possibilities). I've searched under CONDITION for something like Flag1 dead, but couldn't find the right one. Can you fill me up the gap ...!

 

TYPE: 1 ONCE (***, NO EVENT)

CONDITION: ...!

ACTION: MESSAGE TO ALL (*)

Look for "Group dead" under trigger or if just a percentage of the group must be destroyed, the "Group alive less than" condition.

There is also a "unit dead" condition etc.

 

For a simple win condition based on the amount of destroyed enemy vehicles you may use the "Player score higher than" condition, I don't know for sure how much points a destroyed vehicle is worth, but I think it's 10 points per Tank / APC etc.

 

Good ressources for learning the ME and to understand basic trigger system etc. is the User Manual (PDF can be found under START MENU>All Programs>Eagle Dynamics>DCS World>Documentation)

and there is a Wiki. :thumbup:

 

As you seem to be german I suggest VJS161_Fire's YouTube Channel he did a pretty good tutorial series about the ME abd the trigger basics, including sophisticated LUA script actions through MIST2.0 :D

 

We will still be there to answer questions if they arise, but it helps considerably if you go through the Manual (for example there is a list of conditions, and actions).

Dankeschön & a good Tip with VJS161:thumbup:
