Trigger to detect if Player fires

Hi All, I'm working on a ROE Intercept mission. Is there a way to determine if the Player or Players group fires within a trigger zone?

Also, how do you set the mission as a failure for a campaign if that's the case? (broken Rul of engagement)

You can use the MISSILE IN ZONE condition and set it to the weapon types the player is carrying.

Add an action to the same trigger to set a flag to true, then use that flag to determine mission success in scoring how ever you'd like to.

Thanks, i don’t see an option for guns though?

Add this script prior to your engagment will result in Flag 200 becoming true whenever the gun is fired:

Handler = {}

function Handler:onEvent(event)

if event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_SHOOTING_START and event.initiator == Unit.getByName('UZI 11') then

trigger.action.setUserFlag('200', true)

end

end

world.addEventHandler(Handler)

Make sure to change the UZI 11 above to whatever your UNIT Name is. So you could have whenever flag 200 is true, AND the player is within a zone, something will happen.

Same thing for missiles, just change the event:

Handler = {}

function Handler:onEvent(event)

if event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_SHOT and event.initiator == Unit.getByName('UZI 11') then

trigger.action.setUserFlag('201', true)

end

end

world.addEventHandler(Handler)

To reset the condition, do another one that says like, Time since Flag 200 is on 60 seconds > Flag 200 off.

Handler = {}

function Handler:onEvent(event)

if event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_SHOT and event.initiator == Unit.getByName('UZI 11') then

end

end

world.addEventHandler(Handler)

Does that stil work for a group as opposed to a unit? WHere would I put that code?

Haven't tried it with group vs unit, but maybe...

Put it in as a Do Script soon after mission start (or whenever you want).

Here's a test mission where you can see where the code goes.

Yes, you can check whether the shooting units belong to specific groups.

But keep in mind that these events are triggered by individual units, not groups.

This script can be loaded with a MISSION START trigger, if you want.

Sorted! Thakns.
