Unit Damage to Trigger Action

[gpotter511]

Afternoon all -

I'd like to create a Lua script-based Condition to determine whether a message-based Action will fire. The Condition should check to see whether an aircraft has received any damage. If it hasn't, the Action should not fire. If it has, it should fire.

Can you suggest the best path to proceed with for these purposes? Thanks!

In rereading this post, I realized it probably sounded like I was missing the fact that there's a trigger already in existence for Unit Damage. I do, in fact, know this.

What I'm trying to have happen is for points to be awarded to the player is an aircraft lands undamaged. So, the Action would actually be triggered by time at a moment when the aircraft has returned to its hanger. Condition, not the Trigger, would check damage. Does that make sense? Thanks!

not 100% sure I understand, but what if the trigger is `unit remains in area` - the base - and then the action is lua which checks if the unit is damaged, then awards points/sends message if it is not. Not sure you would need a condition.

Is it just one particular unit you are tracking? or more than one?

Thanks much Whicker - yes, it is just a single unit.

I was hoping to use a condition so that I could limit the need for laying out the Reference Points. But this may be the simpler option.
