Trigger A Script When You Eliminate Specific AI Squad | Halo Infinite Forge Tutorial 

Having this exact issue, I'm hoping it's just a bug that might get patched soon

It is in fact a bug, as for some reason when declaring Alpha as the squad in the set squad variable, for some reason it creates a SEPARATE alpha that this node uses. I found this out while working with trying to get infected to ally with ai as well as getting ai to ally with survivors. Luckily, I'm pretty sure last night I came across a universal fix that, crazy enough, will rid us of ever having to use the trinity again for squads. RIP Squad Holy Trinity, 2023 - 2023

@@-Zechariot I put in a ticket for it as well, and as of now i do not have too much of an issue with it and it works fine.

Oh really? That's actually great! I am making a OOT firefight map using the temples as mini dungeons to complete to get the good ending.

@@-Zechariot that sounds really dope not gonna lie

As long as you use the trinity of variables for a squad, you should be able to simply plug in that squad with the “get squad variable” node to the “kill squad” node that you can hook up to an event. This should effectively kill all AI using the squad label set to that variable when you do the event you need.

@-Zechariot I tried that, but it only chooses one squad with the squad label to kill, not all of them :/ who knows if it's a bug or not

@@Naratiq it is. Because when you set the squad variable when they spawn, it treats only that spawner as alpha, regardless if others are all on alpha as well. It needs fixing. But the way to do it is to get all AI spawners that share a squad and when ai spawn on them, get them into an area monitor right above their spawn, and make it so that when ai are inside this area monitor they are moved to alpha squad. This should fix your problem at least for now.

Setting a move zone is easy cause there’s a node for just that. “Assign squad to zone” and tada.

@@-Zechariot yep, just did it on my end as well. Came to be like figured it out but you had it already, you're pretty damn quick. Def the GOAT.

This happens to me ALL the time. Matter of fact, my video coming tomorrow has it happen in video. The identifier still functions properly, it just bugs and you can’t see it. But usually a sign of a corrupt script brain and unfortunately might need to redo the script in a new one.

I have scripting ideas I just don't know how to go about it

That is true, and I know the reason why now. I recently covered a problem using the squad variable and why it does exactly what you're dealing with. I also show exactly how to mend that and make it fully functional with ANY number of spawners. Check it out here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dk-b0sFxq5M.html

@@-Zechariot ooo ty. Ill check this out

If it’s the last unit in its squad, the only way to get its squad label is using the death context. Cause for some reason this game deletes the squad from the game when no ai exists on it anymore. And it only stores the data about the ai that was killed for a split second that you have to use the death context node to get before it’s deleted.

@@-Zechariot is their a death context node for squad labels? I didn’t see one. Using your method it would appear I would need to create a running list of squads spawned with a label, and compare that to the squad of a killed unit.

@@leegofilms sorta. What exact are you trying to do so I can see if I’m on the right track or not

@@-Zechariot I have a single-player-esq encounter set up. So I’m trying to track how many units in a group of squads are killed so I can have their tactics change appropriately. I can’t consolidate everyone into a single squad because the percentages for alive units doesn’t update over the initial amount, and I want everyone to start out in different zones. If you’ve ever read the GDC talk on Halo 3 encounter design, it is much like that. 1. Every AI spawns spread-out 2. So many units are killed 3. Ai fall back to certain locations 4. More are killed 5. Ai fall back to one location 6. Reinforcements spawn 7. All units are killed 8. Path forward opens Complex Stuff like that I’ve considered using wave logic, but the situations are too numerous and varied. I think the list method may be just what I need. Hoping to test soon.

@@leegofilms I’m thinking that yeah, use a kill counter, every time an ai unit dies it increments it by 1. Then on the certain number reached, so have it when an ai is killed, check to see if the kill number = the number you have set by using a compare node, and when it does, assign each squad a move zone that you want them to move to, which will tell them to fall back separate as well. Then once the kill number reaches the second number you want, assign the move zone you want them to consolidate to, to all squads, and then have it so when they arrive, it triggers your last ai spawners for reinforcements. Then set up a squad counter number variable. Using the method in this video, you can set it up the exact way I have for each squad, and at the end of it, plug in an increment variable by 1. And use a compare node to set the number to compare the total to how many squads you have. And once it equals that number, the path will open. I’ll trh to throw the script together later to see if it works.

I actually have a tutorial for that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPeP-f4K1DU.htmlsi=tDuCFlatie4yRBho
