triggers??

[sabra]

I suppose this question has come up about a hundred times.
I am trying to make a helicopter move when a trigger is activated. I have a helicopter somewhere on the map. When the east detects the soldier (west) I want the helicopter to take off and follow its waypoints simple?? not for me.

Thanks guys

Create a trigger, activated by west and detected by east.

Group the trigger with the player.

Make the trigger a switch trigger.

Make the first waypoint of the helicopter. Let the condition be something like jgkajsdglkhsrjkdghksdfjhgkjsdhfgjdfhgjkdfghkdjfhgkjd.

Group the trigger with the WayPoint.

I think Armstrong's been spending too much time eating the wrong kind of mushrooms. ;D

What he means is create your trigger (W detected by E and then grouped to the player ... you get different options in the Activation box after you have grouped it) and make it type: switch.     Use synchro (F5) to link it to the first waypoint of the chopper.    The chopper will stay at that waypoint until the trigger is fired.

umm group to player how do I do that??  

[macguba]

go into groups mode (F2) and drag 'n' drop a line from the trigger to the unit in question (in this case theplayer unit) - it's just like synchro, or grouping one unit to another.

When you do that, you will get new options in the Activation box in the trigger.
