Casaulties

[SilverG]

Hi, as I am into mission editing, I want to make some triggers when a certain ammount of casaulties have fallen. For example 40 light infantry - if there is such a thing to specify.

 

As I can see from the casaulties box there should be a certain code entered. But I do not know what kind. Is there some kind of list for it? Please help.

The only thing I know:

 

In the treshold box, set to 0, you kill 1 infantry and the event trigger (I did with a message and the message just appears over and over).

Setting to 4, you need to kill 5 before triggering the message.

 

The "Flag?" is supposed to be the timer, something like this:

To trigger the Event, you need to kill 50 soldiers in 5 minutes. If you kill 45 and reach the 5 minute mark the counter resets, so you need to kill 50 more in the next 5 minutes and so on.

 

However, I have no clue how works.

Loading the O9V1 map with the old editor they are 2 boxes, one with a number and the other with another number.

In the new editor with the same map appears letters and numbers, so I don't know.

I think we ought to research this matter a wee bit more, we can make some interesting triggers with this condition.... Don't you agree? XD

Actually that explanation would make sense, however I'm wondering if it's set to only count infantry deaths?

Ok, after some testing. Not only works for infantry but for vehicles too: Quads, tanks, VCM... even the carryall count in this threshold. Buildings doesn't count.

 

I am asuming the "Killing 50 infantry in 5 minute and then resets" because in the editor in the "flag?" section says: "Time between intervals".

 

But maybe the condition type works like this:

"for trigger X event, you need to kill 50 enemies, every 5 seconds the count goes down by 1".

 

In the old editor were two boxes to write numbers there, that could be the "every X seconds the count goes down by Y".

But honestly I have no idea. I can be wrong.

 

 

Now looking into the O9V1 map when the Mercs have 2 events for this.

The first, when they advice "We're losing too many men!") has a Threshold of 10.

And the second, when they finally become neutral has a Threshold of 15.

 

If they are suppose to died 11-16 units to trigger this, well, that happen almost everytime he attacks, so the count resets really quickly there.

 

But I don't know how works, the Mercs have a value of "3FE00000" in the "flags?" the first and "40200000" when they become neutral.
