can a trigger be moved during a mission?

[D_P_]

anyone know if it's possible to setpos a trigger? like can you move a respawn killzone 10meters back ingame? i know, weird question.

I'm not sure if it will work but you could always test it by getting the position of the trigger then setpos the trigger and then compare. Alternatively you can create a new trigger on the fly at the new location.

As far as I know Thobson used one trigger for multiple purposes in Abandoned Armies, so you should be able to move them. He also advised me once to keep a trigger following the car (setPos it on the car while it drives.

Should work.

Yes (as cheetah already points out), you can setPos a trigger
Just name your trigger and it can be accessed like any other object (setPossed, deleted..).

not sure I understand?

hoz means that as ArmA includes commands for creating a trigger and setting it's attributes you can create fully functional triggers by scripting
createTrigger
And the commands to set all the 'innards' of the trigger start from
setTriggerActivation

I know this thread is old but the info is still needed.
How do I move a trigger or create a trigger?

Move would be preferable.

The links in this thread no longer work.
