Trigger Once in a Layout When True the first time only

hey all,

Trying to trigger a Once While True only the first time something happens, and then never again for that layout.

Other than setting a flag variable is there a better way to do this?

PlayerHealth < 10

NoAudioIsPlaying = true

Trigger Once While True

----------------PlayAudio "Blue wizard is about to die.."

Since the NoAudioIsPlaying variable changes throughout the layout the only way I see to make this happen once is to make yet another variable "PlayOnce"

PlayerHealth < 10

NoAudioIsPlaying = true

PlayOnce = 0

Trigger Once While True

----------------PlayAudio "Blue wizard is about to die.."

----------------PlayOnce set to 1

I only ask because I have a whole mess of these conditions (and I'd have to create a unique flag for each) that I only want to happen once in a layout.. was wondering if there was a cleaner way...

thanks...

You don't need the "Trigger Once" in the second case. You dealt with it yourself.

ah right.. yes.. so I guess in the case of a true Trigger ONLY Once, you have to set it up yourself?

unless your only condition is Trigger Once, but then it triggers right away...without a condition

or the only other way is that your condition can never be untrue, and then true again...

I had to use an external flag to do this. You could try using a global variable defaulted to 1, and set it to 0. Then have the event conditioned on if flag == 1.
