Linking triggers/wayopints
« on: 01 Mar 2004, 19:16:50 »
I have just started playing OF and am getting used to the mission editor, is there any way to link triggers and waypoints or two triggers??
for example i want a waypoint t start ONLY after a certain trigger has been activated.

Look along the top of the Mission Editor.   Theres a button called Synchro.   Drag and drop a light blue line from the trigger to the waypoint.    The group will wait at that waypoint until the trigger condition is true.

Linking two triggers is done in a different way.  You use variables.  Here's an example

Trigger1
Activation:  whatever
On Activation:   trig1=true

Trigger2
Activation:   East present
Condition:   this and trig1
On activation:  whatever


Hit the Editors Depot - there are lots of tutorials there to help you.  ;)

Ok ive got that working, but is there a way to link two triggers, ive tried to synch them but it wont work, could i make one trigger that would trigger another for example, u walk into 1st triggger and set off a camera on other side of level???

First of all, reread my post above - I added some stuff that you may have missed.

Second of all, forget camera triggers.   They are more trouble than they're worth.    Using camera scripts is actually much easier.    Read snYpir's excellent tute on the subject, and then messiah's camera.sqs tutorial.

You can't synch triggers.   Use variables to make one trigger fire another trigger.
