Create a file called init.sqs and this in it:
Code: [Select]
"2" objStatus "HIDDEN"
Then go to your trigger, set up the "activated by" stuff and write following in "On Activation" field:
Code: [Select]
"2" objStatus "ACTIVE"; hint "You have a new objective"
That will make the status of the second objective (you can change 2 to 3 and make third objective hidden) to hidden at the start and when player enters the trigger it will make it visible and it'll hint that player has new objective.

Hope that helps,
Krieg
If you see a light at the end of the tunnel, then it's probably an enemy tank.

There's also a tutorial in the Editors Depot.

Always worth searching first.  :good:

Use a CYCLE waypoint. Place it close to the first waypoint. (The AIs will go back to whatever waypoint the CYCLE is closest to).

If you aren't sure when they will need to go back to the first waypoint, make a trigger and set its type to "Switch." Synchronize (F5) it to the waypoint BEFORE your cycle waypoint. Place the cycle waypoint close to the group's first waypoint, as before. Whenever the switch trigger is activated, the group will go back to the first waypoint.

Use the allowFleeing command to stop them from running away.

In the Init line of the group leader, write
"_x allowFleeing 0" forEach units this

Either:
1. Make their last waypoint a GUARD
or
2. Make the last two waypoints:  SEEK AND DESTROY followed by a CYCLE with these two waypoints next to each other.

Assuming that it is West guarding the base; simply change it to East if necessary.

1. Make a trigger covering just the base and its guards:
   West, Present, Once
      and give the trigger a name, in this example: base


2. Make a second trigger, centred on the base and large enough to cover the area where the Resistance might be spotted, this might be 1500 metres in diameter:
   Resistance, Detected by West, Once

write in the On Activation line:
   "_x setBehaviour {STEALTH}" forEach list base

then click on the 'Effects' box in the bottom lefthand corner. You're interested in sounding the alarm, so choose
   Sound - Anonymous - Play Alarm (scroll near to the bottom of the list)

LOL GW. Really, there's all kinds of ways you could do this, and it's been done many ways. There's even a whole demo mission from SelectThis available from the editor's depot. I don't really like how SelectThis wrote his script, but that's just me.

To make a unit go where you click on the map:

Code: [Select]
onMapSingleClick {unitname move _pos}

where unitName is the name of the unit to be moved. OnMapSingleClick has a whole tutorial devoted to it, you should read it.

To make units report how many units in the group are alive,

Code: [Select]
unitName sideChat format ["%1 are alive", {alive _x} count units groupName]

Where unitName is the name of the unit you want to communicate, and groupName is the name of the group you want to know about.

onMapSingleClick {[_pos, _units, _shift, _alt] exec "OnMapClick.sqs"}

i.e. whenever the player clicks on the map, a script "OnMapClick.sqs" is called with all the available parameters as arguments. This also answers your question about reading the status of the SHIFT and ALT keys. Their status is contained in the reserved boolean variables _shift and _alt (if true, key is pressed). _units is an array of the currently selected units.

Within "OnMapClick.sqs" you can do whatever you want with the info given

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
OnMapClick.sqs

_pos = _this select 0
_units = _this select 1
_shift = _this select 2
_alt = _this select 3

;block execution when player did select units
?Count _units != 0: Exit

;block execution when player is commander of a vehicle
_vehicle = Vehicle Player
?(_vehicle != Player) AND (Commander _vehicle == Player): Exit

.....

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

e.g. you can block execution of the script under some curcumstances or include a pause between click and movement.

Here's a demo mission that will show you how to do that. You'll have to modify the units and waypoint locations to fit with your mission, but the basic idea should be the same.
