picard  Registered Member #1450 Joined: Wed Oct 11 2006Location: The Netherlands Posts: 635 | Hey guys... I'm trying to use the groupdead command in WAC. I've placed (in Nile) all my rebels in one group TEST. I've put the follwing code in my WAC. if never () and groupdead(TEST) then ssntowp(66588,2) endif Now when the game starts SSN 66588 immediately goes to Waypointlist 2. I've tryed to change the code (for testing ) to only one SSN dead, and then it works fine. What's the problem here??   | ||

Gkill(L1) kills all objects and Ais that are made members of group L1 in nile, how to make the group in nile? well, higlight the objects in your object tab that u want to be members in the group, right click on the highlight and choose.. Group.. make new group name it L1 and then Ok. /Tisa | ||

Didn't want to kill a whole group. I wanted an event to take place after a group is dead. So I thaught...maybe this command Gdead excists as well..apperently it doesn't...  Oh well...back to the drawing board... | ||

| Col.Gawdamnit Registered Member #564 Joined: Mon Mar 14 2005Location: Sweden Posts: 361 | Ah.... well yeah hehe, that sets everything in a new perspective... easy to say then, no that will not work with group command since nile doesnt support them, there is a workaound to get your desired results, but that will include fiddling with Variables. read up on Variables on the godforum site, that will kickstart you in the right direction. then read this: http://s2.forumforfree.com/index.php?mforum=godfather&showtopic=160&st=0&#entry581 i think thats what u are looking for. happy mapping m8 /Tisa [ Edited Thu Jan 25 2007 ] | ||

| picard Registered Member #1450 Joined: Wed Oct 11 2006Location: The Netherlands Posts: 635 | Hey Tisa.... Thanx for the link..I'm certainly gonna try this... So I'm guessing it's normal that you have to type all your ssn's in your wac code. meaning..If I have, let's say, 50 rebels which have to be killed to end the mission. I then have to type 50 time's If ssndead(xxxxx) then inc (v10)...  Hmmm that's gonna reek havoc on my RSI Oh well No pain No game is what we say.... | ||

| Col.Gawdamnit Registered Member #564 Joined: Mon Mar 14 2005Location: Sweden Posts: 361 | Yeah unfortunatly thats what u need to do when using nile, its time comsuming and increasing the size of the wac file wich btw you should never llet exeed over 24kb because then u will get weird things happen, events not firing at, all or firing at their own randomly.. But even here there is a workaround but that includes more advanced variable handling and the use of respawning and teleporting Bgs. but a plus is that u decrease the size of the wac and the physical amount of bgs. ( u simply use the same Bgs multiple time, for eg. 10 bgs in the maps are teleported as they respawn (after being killed) to another location, and if u limit that to 5 times.. u have 50 bgs in all.. to that u add a small counter that keeps track of how many times each of the 10 bgs has died, and when they all have died 5 times each. well something happens. its also to be found at the GF site ;) /Tisa [ Edited Sat Jan 27 2007 ] | ||
