Why doesn't this work?

Need some help with a bit of code not working as it should.

Code:: function onDeath(victim, killer) if OFP:wasInGroup("plaset1group") then local grp_size = OFP:getGroupSize("plaset1group") if grp_size == 0 and plaspawn == true then OFP:destroyEntitySet(pla_set) OFP:disableEvent("spawnEntitySetAtEntityPosition_plaset_plaspawn1") OFP:despawnEntity("mitsutrigger") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj1", "COMPLETED") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj2", "IN_PROGRESS") OFP:setObjectiveVisibility("obj2", true) objstate = 1 if OFP:isInTrigger("plyr", "mitsuzone") and plaspawn == true then plaarm_set = OFP:spawnEntitySetAtEntityPosition("plaarmset", "plaspawn2") OFP:displaySystemMessage("HQ: All AAA infantry neutralised") OFP:displaySystemMessage("Tracking multiple Armoured units advancing on MITSULEVKA.") OFP:displaySystemMessage("Advise you get the **** out of Dodge") OFP:displaySystemMessage("and RTB immediately - OUT") OFP:disableEvent("spawnEntitySetAtEntityPosition_plaarmset_plaspawn2") onSpawnedReady(setName, setID, tableOfEntities, errorCode ) if setID == plaarm_set then OFP:searchAndDestroy(tableOfEntities[1], "armobj", 100, false, "ADDTOFRONT") end OFP:activateRVChain("extractrvpath") OFP:setRVChainVisibility("extractrvpath", true) end end elseif OFP:wasInGroup("usmcgroup") then local usgrp_size = OFP:getGroupSize ("usmcgroup") if usgrp_size == 0 then OFP:destroyEntitySet("usmcset") OFP:disableEvent("activateEntitySet_usmcset") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj1", "FAILED") OFP:missionFailed() end end end

Basically, when the plaarm_set spawns (an armoured group of 8 vehicles), they're supposed to S&D at the player's location to force a retreat back to his base. This completes the mission. They spawn with no problems but fail to carry out the S&D order, just sitting at their spawn point.

Any ideas???

Thank

OFP:wasInGroup(victim,"plaset1group")

onSpawnedReady is a separate function.

You cannot disable a spawn. Remove that line. I'm typing this on my cell or I'd post fixed code.

OK... easier to type on a real keyboard.

Code:: function onDeath(victim, killer) if OFP:wasInGroup(victim, "plaset1group") then local grp_size = OFP:getGroupSize("plaset1group") if grp_size == 0 and plaspawn == true then OFP:destroyEntitySet(pla_set) OFP:disableEvent("spawnEntitySetAtEntityPosition_plaset_plaspawn1") OFP:despawnEntity("mitsutrigger") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj1", "COMPLETED") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj2", "IN_PROGRESS") OFP:setObjectiveVisibility("obj2", true) objstate = 1 if OFP:isInTrigger("plyr", "mitsuzone") and plaspawn == true then plaarm_set = OFP:spawnEntitySetAtEntityPosition("plaarmset", "plaspawn2") OFP:displaySystemMessage("HQ: All AAA infantry neutralised") OFP:displaySystemMessage("Tracking multiple Armoured units advancing on MITSULEVKA.") OFP:displaySystemMessage("Advise you get the **** out of Dodge") OFP:displaySystemMessage("and RTB immediately - OUT") end end elseif OFP:wasInGroup(victim, "usmcgroup") then local usgrp_size = OFP:getGroupSize ("usmcgroup") if usgrp_size == 0 then OFP:destroyEntitySet("usmcset") OFP:setObjectiveState("obj1", "FAILED") OFP:missionFailed() end end end function onSpawnedReady(setName, setID, tableOfEntities, errorCode ) if setID == plaarm_set then OFP:searchAndDestroy(tableOfEntities[1], "armobj", 100, false, "ADDTOFRONT") end OFP:activateRVChain("extractrvpath") OFP:setRVChainVisibility("extractrvpath", true) end
