dead zone

Trying to select a building and designate it as target for an air-to-mud mission. I right click and designate as a new trigger zone. Then I set a trigger if the zone is a "dead zone". However, I do not think the dead zone thing is working.

Has anyone got it to work yet? EDIT I really don't know if this is a correct usage of "dead zone". I am just trying to figure out how to tell if a pre-existing structure is dead.

This how I did it to detect a destroyed bridge. Uses MIST.

1. First load MIST

2. Create First Trigger

Trigger: ONCE

Condition: Time More with Value 4 -- Ensure enough time for MIST to load

Actions: DO SCRIPT --Enter the code below:

mist.flagFunc.mapobjs_dead_zones{ zones = {'Bridge11'}, flag = 1, req_num = 1 }

For the above, substitute Bridge11 with your trigger zone name

When the object in the trigger zone is dead, flag 1 is set to value 1 (req_num)

2. Next, setup another trigger to do something when the object in the zone is destroyed:

Trigger: ONCE

Condition: FLAG IS TRUE with value 1

Action: MESSAGE TO ALL with text "TARGET DESTROYED" (or anything you want to do)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Wraith. I am trying to do this stuff without Mist or Moose. I am sure there is a way or soon will be a way. But if I have to I will bite the bullet and use one of those script libraries.

Any Update

Did you get the "Dead Zone" trigger working? I am trying to do the same thing.
