Can you group multiple [Action] to spawn from one time [Trigger]?

hc_wolf · #1 03-21-2012, 08:25 AM

I want to use one time trigger to spawn multiple groups in an [ACTION] spawn

Is there a way you can spawn multiple actions when the time trigger G17 is active?

[Trigger]
G17 TTime 60

[Action]
action17 ASpawnGroup 1 BoB_LW_KuFlGr_706.01
action18 ASpawnGroup 1 BoB_LW_KuFlGr_706.04
action19 ASpawnGroup 1 BoB_LW_KuFlGr_706.02

Code:

base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

		if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
        {
            AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("action17");
            if (action != null)
            {
                action.Do();
            }

yes create a list (or array) which contains the actionnames.

Example:

Code:

        List<string> ActionToDoList = new List<string>{"action17", "action18", "action19"};

if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
        ActionToDoList.ForEach(item =>
            {
                AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(item);
                if (action != null)
                {
                    action.Do();
                }
            });
}

You can also use:

Code:

if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
                AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("action17");
                if (action != null)
                {
                    action.Do();
                }
                action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("action18");
                if (action != null)
                {
                    action.Do();
                }
                action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("action19");
                if (action != null)
                {
                    action.Do();
                }
}

But lists or arrays are easier to handle.

FG28_Kodiak I tried this with a number of other changes but I keep getting the following server error.

The name 'action' does not exist in the current context.
I have looked at other coding and can not see the problem.

Code:

	

base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);	
	   
	   List<string> ActionToDoList = new List<string>{"action17", "action18", "action19", "action20", "action21", "action22"};    
		        
		if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
        {
  		ActionToDoList.ForEach(item =>
		{	
				if (action != null)
				{
                action.Do();
				}
 
			});
		}

and if I use this code I get another error saying Invalid expression term 'if'

Code:

	   List<string> ActionToDoList = new List<string>{"action17", "action18", "action19", "action20", "action21", "action22"};    
		        
		if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
        {
			ActionToDoList.ForEach(item =>
			
			if (action != null)
				{
                action.Do();
				}

			});

Hm look at my example.

ActionToDoList.ForEach(item =>
{
AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(item); //<== you forget this line
if (action != null)
{
action.Do();
}
});

Second problem:

if ("G17".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
ActionToDoList.ForEach(item =>
{ //<== you forget this bracket
if (action != null)
{
action.Do();
}

});
