==Function==
After certain activation time the script detonates set weapons if there are non friendly ships (neutral, hostile, traitor etc.) within certain radius. Can be used as proximity trigger for weapons or for example as proximity trigger for mines.

Example below uses Helios as the weapon having proximity trigger that activates 5 seconds after the weapon launch (This particular Helios has lifetime of 30 s). The script detonates the weapon if target approaches to closer than 1000 m ('''''IMPORTANT NOTE:''''' '''unlike ingame''' distances this one is measured '''from the centerpoint''' of the weapon '''to the centerpoint''' of the target)

$Simulation:

[

--Get all weapons
for i=1,mn.getNumWeapons() do
weapon = mn.getWeaponByIndex(i)
weapontype = weapon.Class.Name

--Select only mines
if weapontype == "Helios" then
weaponlife = weapon.LifeLeft

--Select only those mines that have been activated (time activation)
if weaponlife < 25 then
weaponteam = weapon.Team

--Start building distance array
for m=1,mn.getNumShips() do
ship = mn.getShipByIndex(m)
shipteam = ship.Team
weaponposition = weapon.Position
shipposition = ship.Position
shipdistance = weaponposition:getDistance(shipposition)

if shipteam ~= weaponteam and shipdistance < 1000 then
weapon.LifeLeft = 0
