good help to us newbies. watched all of your videos last night and I can start incorporating this stuff into my mission.

[eclipse]

You make a small trigger over the hideout. Make activation "Blufor" or w/e team you are.

Leave Condition as "this".

On act: Put your objective status.

[eclipse]

because I made them 3 years ago, when ArmA came out and beginners wanted to learn some basics. I taught people what I learned myself....

[kubel]

plz make more m8 i love your tutorials. im learning so much from them... thank you very much for all your work!

[xXxLYnXxXx]

thx for uploading ... i never had an idea how these triggers work ... :)

[eclipse]

You need to make an "Area Trigger" So just expand the "axis a - axis b" to however big you want the area to be.

Then for Condition. Just set "Blufor" "Present"

[eclipse]

Yes. They help a lot and it makes you feel more professional. And takes a lot of coding off your hands. Good luck.

Love the video. question. is their anyway u can show me how to add like the dancing and all tht on ur actions bar?
like when u scrolled and u had all those actions howd ya do it?

[Jeorney]

Nice tutorial. How do you get triggers to fire more than once? The REPEATEDLY setting doesn't seem to reset the trigger.

[eclipse]

So you mean. Where all players start in helicopters and the helicopters fly to a certain spot and the players get out? And the Helicopters are AI?

[IcaroDalMolin]

Thanks a lot. Just knowing how make these variables working is a great advance for me.

Thanks again. =)

[eclipse]

@aznwolf106 Place a unit, make him "Player". Then where you select "USMC", "INDEPENDENT" etc. Select "Empty".

Id like to use a trigger to make people run to a location when a vehicle reaches a certain point, and also to make a number of vehicles move to a location when i enter a vehicle, do you have a video on how this is done?

[eclipse]

@razlicak400 if you use the command reference, it shows examples of the syntax.

[hady]

Man this REALLY helped a lot, thanks!

[IcaroDalMolin]

It's me again, sorry about all those questions. Thanks to you, I'm making my missions really more proffesional!
I really had searched in many foruns and I don't learned how make this few things.

So, the question is:
Our team, need to enter in a enemy building and hack a computer system. In these computer, I used the command "addaction" to start de download. When the download is active, some animations appears in the screen. the point is, how can I make these animations appear to all players?

[eclipse]

oh. So if you're blufor and you enter a trigger area. Opfor reinforcements are created within the trigger area?

[eclipse]

Because I use the multiplayer editor. Since I make multiplayer missions for TacticalGamer.

i have a guestion about triggers, as first objective i have an insertion objective, what code do i have to use, that if you reach a sertain position the objective is completed? thx very mutch!

[eclipse]

Not too sure. I'm doing hmwk right now so I can't test. But I suggest you experiment with it. And experiment with more triggers or timers. Or maybe introduce another variable. Not sure atm.
