Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with an event trigger script.

I would like an action to trigger an event upon the death of a specific unit, how can I do it via LUA?

Thanks in advance.

Why not use the "Unit is Destroyed" trigger function?

yes I used it, but then how do I activate with an action an event that at the beginning of the scenario is deactivated?

I do not understand what you're trying to do. You can use Lua to activate an event but destroying a unit when the scenario loads seems an odd approach without seeing what you are trying to achieve. You might do better posting the scenario in the Lua Legion forum here:Lua Legion

It's possible to kill unit with LUA and to activate/deactivate events, but you should describe exactly what are you trying to do in order to get LUA examples.

Sorry my English, I try to explain myself better.
I would like to know only the command string to make a certain event trigger.

ScenEdit_SetEvent('Event Name',{isactive=true})

This will make specific event active (if it is disabled on loading as you say). Is that what you need?
