New igor scripting question

[smokin 0]

Well, im still learning igor, but i thought id run this idea by you wonderful moders for input. I am having fun making missions , but before i go ahead and start going crazy making missions that may cause lag, i thought it would be smart to hide most of the hostiles until a player triggers them to appear.(fairly of course) Only dilema i hit with this ,is if i am creatinng a stealth type mission then id have to RE-HIDE my characters. Is there a way that i can trigger my hostiles to become hidden again only if ALL members of the PLAYER_PLATOON are in a certain zone?

Sure

Trigger:

A member of the PlayerPlatoon is within 10 metres of Zone X

Responses:

Block Preserve

Continue If the number of members of the PlayerPlatton within 10 metres of Zone X is equal to the current size of the PlayerPlatoon

Block Remove

Make all members of Company Enemy invincible (see below)

Hide Company Enemy fro the game world.

If this mission is for co-op play be wary of the shadow bug, ie; players may be able to see hidden actors as shadows (sometimes fully textured). If they are shot or accidently killed in this state the server will crash. It's a good idea to always make actors invincible before hiding them.

Cheers, Jack

Hey Mr. Jack,

is there a reason why the Block Remove isn't at the bottom of the block?

Hey Mr. Jack,

Yep - it's a habit I have gotten into to. I put it in straight after I do the query - that way you aren't going to forget

The block doesn't actually get removed until it has been executed
