Well as the title explains the waittill_dead functin doesn't work!
In order to complete an objective, you have to kill some guys, but the waittill_dead returns true instantly and the object is comleted, even without completing it!
Any help is welcome!

first_objective() { precacheString(&"SURVIVORS_CLEAR1"); marker = getent("side_a_obj", "targetname"); //a script origin side_a_guys = GetEntArray( "side_a", "targetname" ); // spawners targetname for( i = 0; i < side_a.size; i++ ) { side_a_guys[i] DoSpawn(); } objective_add( 1, "current", &"SURVIVORS_CLEAR1", marker.origin ); objective_current(1); wait 1; waittill_dead(side_a_guys); objective_state(1, "done"); //marker delete(); thread second_objective(); }

thanks in advance

If you use side_a_guys = GetEntArray( "side_a", "targetname" ); with spawners, it only references to spawn entities, not actors that spawn from them.

first_objective() 
{ 
	precacheString(&"SURVIVORS_CLEAR1");
	real_guys = [];//Create empty array
	marker = getent("side_a_obj", "targetname"); //a script origin 
	side_a_guys = GetEntArray( "side_a", "targetname" ); // spawners targetname 
	for( i = 0; i < side_a.size; i++ )  
		real_guys[i] = side_a_guys[i] DoSpawn(); //Make reference to actors that spawn from these spawners
 
	objective_add( 1, "current", &"SURVIVORS_CLEAR1", marker.origin ); 
	objective_current(1); 
	wait 1; 
	waittill_dead(real_guys); 
	objective_state(1, "done"); 
	//marker delete(); 
	thread second_objective(); 
}

or you can use
real_guys = get_living_ai_array("side_a", "targetname");
waittill_dead(real_guys);
Dont know though, if that function exists in WaW.

ty for the help, I didn't know that...
Anyway... I didn't test if it works now, but the function
get_living_ai_array DOES work.(Referenced in maps/_utility.gsc)
