Display enemy number within trigger with hint

Egosa-U · 02-08-2010, 05:39 PM

I've searched (but maybe not good enough), but i can't find a solution to have the Unit-Numbers displayed with a hint.

I have a trigger with following settings:

East, repeatedly, present,
check all 1 secs
condition = this
on Act. =

Code:

_xyz = east countside thislist; hintSilent "East-Units:" & _xyz

Here it stops, saying stuff like "local variable in global space" and all types off errors, after i tried stuff like:

Code:

_xyz = east countside thislist; hintSilent ["East-Units:", _xyz]

Can someone please tell me the right code? Thnx in advance.

I once tried this ,but it only showed the initial number of enemies in the area....
I can't find a way to update the num of enemies in the trigger

numenemys=east countside thislist;hintsilent format ["%1",numenemys]

I think you mis-used hintsilent instead of hintsilent format.

I'll try that one when i come home from work.

But how do i add the "Enemy-Units: " in front of the %1 ? Can i just put it there or do i need a '&'?
EDIT: I just can put it there. No '&' needed.

I somehow got in the wrong forum though - oght to be ArmA 2. Never Mind - should work for both.

It works, but as you said just for the first time.
I've played around with it to see, how often or though what it could be triggered constantly - no clue, but i think i'll work around that prob.

Thnx.
