FIXED: #13637: Lua trigger on mines

Thanks a lot guys.

Could someone explain this one a bit? Does this mean we can use mines in or mines cleared in an area as an event trigger?

Thanks

thank you

Hey Gunner98,

The Lua docs have been updated with the new functions:

https://commandlua.github.io/#ScenEdit_AddMinefield
https://commandlua.github.io/#ScenEdit_DeleteMine
https://commandlua.github.io/#ScenEdit_DeleteMinefield
https://commandlua.github.io/#ScenEdit_GetMinefield
https://commandlua.github.io/#ScenEdit_SetMine

Using ScenEdit_GetMineField() you can check how many mines are in the field. This could be used to see if there are any left, or count the amount that remain. So you could have code that checks to see if the minefield is totally cleared, or what proportion has been cleared.

Hey,
Thanks for the update guys !

You should also be able to include mines in the Detect and the Destroy triggers as weapons.
I've attached a sample based on the Mine Tutorial - just left the helos sweep the minefield.

Running my scenario (rebuild using 1136.1 with scenario merging, db3k 483, a little less weapons per unit) for about 15 hours non-stop, without hiccups and crashes like earlier versions.
With some much more crazy moments like shooting 300+ missiles to a single target because of my wrong WRA settings, I think this update passed "pressure test" so far.
Thank you.

I would be interested in how this goes. It seems to work well in test.[:D]

Thank I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I included a sample SCEN in one of the posts above to show how the events worked

Mine Triggers work the charm - thanks.

going to give the Lua ScenEdit_GetMinefield bit now

OK I can confirm that the add & delete minefield works like a charm. Didn't try the single mine commands and left a note in Lua Legion wrt the GetMinefield - I think it works but I've got other problems.

Tx this is great stuff
