Simple trigger question
« on: 28 Jan 2005, 01:50:36 »
I am trying to set up an ambush where resistance fighters will charge out of the forest when a russian vehical reach the trigger zone. I know that triggers can be use to activate scripts , but is there anyway I can make trigger to activate a way point? Or could this only be done with scripts? Thanks in advance.

You can use a trigger and synchro it to the waypoint using whatever condition you want.

The trigger would read something like:
activation:east/present repeatedly?
condition: truck_name in thisList
onactivation: none or call a script

This assumes you are checking for a particular truck, if its any east unit then leave the condition field as "this".

A second option is to set the conditon field of the ambush wpt to something like ambush == 1, then use a trigger with the confitions above and the onactivation field set to ambush = 1.

Both essentially read as once an east unit is inside the trigger area, move to this waypoint using whatever conditions you set for that waypoint.

Read the tutorial on switch triggers in the Editors Depot.     "Activating" waypoints is the fundamental job of triggers:   all the fancy script stuff is just bunting.
