I not stupid but

[Bohemia boy]

I have a end triggger set to   EAST-NOT PRESSENT-END1
and there are no east units in the area

Why would it not end the mission

I am not a noob
I can use triggers, Its just thid trigger is acting strange some times it ends the mission and some times not.

It makes no sence there are no east units in the area because I have moved it into the sea when i found out it was acting up.

Can I get your mission to check?

[macguba]

It's not impossible that the trigger has some kind of fit.   Delete it and create a new trigger to do the same thing.    

End#1 trigger will end the mission only if ALL triggers of type End#1 are fired.    Check that you don't have another one by mistake.    Yes, it may be that you have to check every trigger in the mission.  It's tough being a mission designer.   ;D

Debugging tip:   you need to know whether the trigger is not firing at all, or firing and not ending the mission.    Write this in the On Activation field

hint "end trigger firing"

That might help illuminate the problem.

Don't triggers need to be activated first? Like a west guy could be in there with the conditions of east not present?

I'm not sure though...

[Taggart]

Its not necessary, I believe,   to use the West/East not present, but simply have a condition met i.e. not(alive loon1) to end a mission. What Macguba says is correct, sometimes they just don't trigger.  :-\

By the way its not a stupid question, i always used to say that wen i first got started but gradually as you start to look around at the tuts and ask questions you'll start to find everything much easier to understand.

But as im always told, search the forums first, u may find ur answer there.  ;D

I have a similar problem with triggers;

To prevent Shilkas from firing at vehicles outside 1500m, i used a trigger with a 1500m trigger area, WEST-PRESENT.

In the activation field it sets the behaviour and combat mode to AWARE and OPEN FIRE. (Yes, i know there is a colorcode for COMBATMODE, but I can't remember them right now...)

In the deactivation field i set behaviour and combat to CARELESS and NEVER FIRE. (Yes, I know I it would probably be enough with CARELESS or NEVER FIRE... or?)

Everything works out fine if i DO NOT start with a WEST'ern unit inside the trigger, but if I start inside it, it seems the trigger won't activate...

Anyone else experienced that? Could it be due to many trigger on one mission - or something like that?

btw; I would like the shilka to ONLY respond to AIR (west) vehicles.. Any good solutions to that?
