Script-created trigger doesnt work

[_qor 11]

Hey,

its just about this script that is not working:

_trg1 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPos FC1veh];
_trg1 setTriggerArea [20, 20, 0, false];
_trg1 setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];


if (EAST countSide list _trg1 == 0) then {hint "free to delete"} else {hint "occupied"};

Of course the necessary conditions to fire the trigger are fulfilled.

Got an idea what might be wrong?

The problem is a trigger only fires once every half a second so when you create the trigger it needs half a second to activate, the if statement has already run by the time the trigger fires so list _trg1 when checked in the if statement hadn't been created so nothing happens.

Place a sleep between the trigger and if statement sleep 1;

I would however use this instead

_trg1 setTriggerStatements ["this", "if (EAST countSide list thistrigger == 0) then {hint 'free to delete'} else {hint 'occupied'};", ""];  };
