Hi all,

For a mission I have 2 soldiers (s1 & s2) who must sneak to a location.
I have an enemy patrol with 4 units (pat1 - pat4), grouped as Patrol1.

Now want to make a trigger to activate a QRF as soon as any of the patrol members has a 'knowsAbout' value > 3 on s1 and/or s2.

So I came up with this trigger condition:
(pat1 knowsAbout S1 > 3 or pat1 knowsAbout S2 > 3) forEach units group Patrol1;

Not working, some boolean error.

2 Questions:
1. How can I mak this trigger work the right way?
2. Since I use 'or' (s1 OR s2), I'm not sure if it will work the way I want. What happens if a patrol member 'knowsAbout' both s1 and s2? Will the trigger still fire?

Can anyone help me with this please?

Cheers!

You should take another look at forEach and knowsAbout again.

If S1 and S2 are grouped, this should be enough:
Patrol1 knowsAbout (group S1) > 3

If not, you could use this:
Patrol1 knowsAbout S1 > 3 || Patrol1 knowsAbout S2 > 3
Sometimes I like to think as I started the whole "earplugs" thing.

W0lle: The only advice I can give you is: Do not try to understand BI. You will not succeed and it only makes your brain go boom. I would even go so far and say that not even they understand their own actions :-D.

1st suggestion failed (Error message: Condition knowsabout: type array expected Object, Side, Group). s1 and s2 are grouped.

2nd is the solution. Works great.

Thanks a lot for your quick help!! Appreciate it!! *THUMBS UP*
