Set Triggers
An important part of making a good mission is the ability to script actions during the
mission that lead to a more immersive experience for the player. By setting actions that
respond to the player and other AI units in an intelligent manner, the simulated
battlefield can have a much more interactive and interesting environment. Such actions
could be the activation of units, text, and voice messages, or setting a flag state. The
conditions that are used to trigger such actions can range from units going in and out of
defined areas of the map, units being destroyed or damaged, specified times, flag
states, and even random states. Using these tools and an active imagination, you can
create your own engaging missions that no automatic mission generator can match.
The missions and campaigns use the same scripting system.
The trigger system is not an "event" type system, but rather a "condition" type system;
this means that a trigger does not occur when something occurs, but rather when a
condition becomes TRUE.
Setting a trigger condition is a three step process:
1. Create a NEW trigger
2. Create the condition(s) for the trigger
3. Create the action(s) that will result from the trigger when the condition(s) are
true.
