Getting Kill trigger to work

jason210 · 01-13-09, 12:20 PM

I've tried for several hours now to get a kill trigger to work.

To make a simple scenario as an example, lets say there is a a 688i and a Kilo. The Kilo is doing 12kts and is just 1nm away from the 688i, which is doing 3kts.

The solution is easy...K 48s in the water and in a few minutes BOOM! kilo dead. But it won't work as a trigger, not will it come up as an achieved goal.

How do I make this work? I've read the manual and even studied other custom missions I have downloaded. It's frustrating.

You want the 688 to attack the kilo automatically ? If yes, then you could use a script.
Otherwise you can usa a destination trigger, so that when the 688i comes into a predefined position, the trigger activates the script that enables the 688 to attack the kilo.

There are at least two methods of using kill triggers.

The easiest is using an attached trigger, on page 1 of the trigger you'll have the option to make it a Kill trigger (I think it defaults to approach or destination for an attached trigger, so look for the drop down menu with one of those displayed.). On page 2 you'll have the option to set the amount of damage needed to fire the trigger.

You can also use doctrine language. To do this, create a standalone trigger and set it to automatic. Activate the doctrine language button, and select platform damage as the doctrine to use. There's no limit to now many doctrine tests the trigger can run, so you can test for as many kills/damages as you want with a single trigger.

Hi

The 688 is a player controlled sub. The kilo is AI.

I tried using the attached trigger, attaching it to the 688, "kill" option, 100% damage. But how do you associate the kill with the kilo?

I'll have a go at the doctrine method also.

If you want to only have the kill count if it's done by the Kilo, then you can go to the 2nd page of the trigger and restrict who can accomplish it. You'll have options to restrict by side, country, class, platform, etc. If it's unrestricted, it will count no matter how the ship is killed.

No, the kill is done by the 688...but he manual says I should attach the trigger to the 688.

So, trigger is attached to 688, and designated "kill".

On the second page of the trigger, I have singled out the KILO platform.

I've sunk this repeatedly to test the trigger but it doesn't work.
