Trigger activation Q

[Jorrit]

How can I make a trigger that is only activated by a player, or a certain item?

I couldn't find it anywhere, so sorry if this is a double posting  


Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums!

Make a trigger.
Make the loon you want to activate the trigger
Go into groups mode (F2)
Drag and drop a line from one to the other (like synchro)
Open up the trigger and observe the new options in the Activation box

lol  ;D

By the way Armsty, I just read your beta review of that POW campaign mission ... I think you should stop beating about the bush.  Why don't you just say what you mean?  ;D ;D ;D


Jorrit - I forgot to say that was a perfectly fine question.  Things like that are very hard to find if you don't know where to look.   The best thing to do is read the tutes in Getting Started in the Ed Depot and you'll pick up a lot of stuff as you go along.

Thanks all, that sure helped a lot  

I think you are one of the friendliest community's around, hope you don't mind if I come with, I think for you,  more  stupid questions.

Ask as many "dumb" questions as you like.     All we ask of anyone is that they do their homework first.   Apart from anything else you'll probably get the answer quicker.

Since we are talking about triggers I have a question as well.  Im trying to acomplish the same thing. trigger specific units only, but this relates to sp/mp support pack.  when I call in fixed wing CAS or airstrikes, the aircraft hit a trigger which plays Aeons jet fly by sound.. which works great but i need only the jets to trigger the sound.. not the men on the ground.. since the jets are spawned from a marker instead of in the mission.. how do i acomplish this?  thankyou

There is a support thread somewhere for the MP/SP Pack, you may have a better chance of an answer there.
