Hi guys,
This is probably a simple maths/math question - for the triggers for say, damaging a ship by percentage, what do == and ! mean? I have < and > sorted (the crocodile eats the bigger number - thanks primary school!) ![]() Cheers Stew |

5 == 5 returns true, 5 == 4 returns false a ! b means "is a not b?" So, any two different values will return true, identical values will return false. Hope that helps. Save

Thanks Chazly for the helpful and speedy reply.
So, just to clarify, in my trigger - I can set it to damage the 'enemy ship' to an equivalent of 50% (==). Do you know what that means in the context of the what the trigger will do? Also, what does != mean in the context of damaging a ship in a trigger? Sorry, that was a typo on the original post ![]() Stew |

Using < or > is much safer in DW editor than == because it gives you wider range for success.
Example: If you want to send message (S.O.S. - my ship is sinking!) when CVG have half or less health with code: Code:
If "platform damage" CVG 16 == 50% then 72 > 50 but not equal exactly 50 So better version of this trigger is: Code:
If "platform damage" CVG 16 > 50% then |

Thanks for your help, guys - no wonder == and != aren't taught in primary school math/maths...

I learned something, thank-you. I am having trouble with the Editor, but I will ask in a separate thread.
