Trigger question

[Echo5Hotel]

Hey all,

Is there a way to make a trigger be tripped just from a satchel charge being detonated?  I'm not having it damage anything really, I just want the trigger to be activated when a satchel charge blows up in its radius?  I read everyone oneof the commands in the command ref for 1.9 but couldn't find anything that I thought would be applicable.  Anyone have any ideas?

It depends on what you want to do with that trigger....

If you want to detect a detonation, activated by the player then sorry, i can't help you. Otherwise, if you want somebody to lay a satchel and then blow it after a certain time/a certain trigger is activated, then you have the possibility to have a certain unit to lay (_unit fire ["put","timebomb"]) the bomb at a given place (set by waipoint/domove command-plus-trigger) an later blow it when somebody enters the trigger area (_unit action ["touchoff"]).

Now you have an idea from mine. It might be useful...!

Thanks for the suggestion.  The problem I was having was that in the mission I was doing, the player/s have to blow up a downed helicopter to keep it out of the hands of the enemy.  Initially I had the chopper mostly damaged and could trigger the objective complete by checking the damage of the chopper.  But then when they linked up with the surviving pilot, he would perceive them as enemy since they blew up the chopper and shoot the player/s.  So then I found that if the chopper were already "dead" the pilot would not care if it was blown up afterwords.  The way I have gotten around it was to place the chopper (already destroyed) with a mundane object underneath it (in this case a map of Nogova) which you really don't notice unless you are looking for it and triggered the objective complete by checking if the map where destroyed or not.  Adapt and overcome, Hooah!
