# @hehu_tripflare (Arma 3 addon)
> Trip-wire mines which shoots flares instead of 'asploading you.
## Why?
Use them to see enemy advancements instead of killing a few of them. A flare allows you to detect any number of units in a force, while an explosion is hard to locate and will only kill a handful at most.
## Status
This is my first Arma 3 mod. It's very much the work of an amateur.
There seems to be no way of detecting when a mine is detonated, so the script works in this way:
1. Find all mines on the map.
2. Spawn a function that waits for the mine to disappear.
* When mine is gone, trigger detonation.
3. Attach event handler to player that repeats this on any newly placed mines.
* This needs to be broadcast to every other player!
### Video

### Problems
* When triggering a mine within 2 meters from a disabled mine, it does not fire a flare.
* Only the "owner" of the mine sees an explosion effect and hears the flare sound when a mine is triggered.
## Building
Check out the repository, make sure Arma 3 Tools from BIS is installed and copy `make.example.bat.txt` into `make.bat`, edit the paths in it and then run the batch file.
The finished mod will be placed in `target_directory` that you specify.

## Awknowledgements
Thanks to the following people, which I reverse-engineered stuff from:
* [Amit](http://forums.bistudio.com/member.php?130119-Amit): [[Tutorial] Simple Re-texturing Guide (From Start To Finish)](http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?161027-Tutorial-Simple-Re-texturing-Guide-(From-Start-To-Finish)) - Thank you for telling me how to create a small addon, how to inherit the BIS stuff and patch them.
* [flyinpenguin](http://forums.bistudio.com/member.php?144624-flyinpenguin): [EMP Pack -WIP-](http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?178067-EMP-Pack-WIP) - I would never have figured out how to run a script on mine detonation without this little addon. Thank you!
