Trigger Actions
Once you have defined the condition(s) that will determine when a trigger will be true or
false, you now define the actions that will result.
To create one or more actions for a trigger, click the NEW button at the bottom of the
pane.
With a new action created, new functions will be displayed at the bottom on the actions
pane:
NEW button. Press the NEW button to create a new action for the selected trigger.
Please note that you can create multiple actions for a single trigger! When you create a
new action, you will need to set the ACTION and define additional data that varies
according to the action. Each new action you create will be listed in the actions pane list.
DELETE button. Press the DELETE button to remove an action from the list. You will
first need to click on the action you wish to remove before pressing the DELETE button.
ACTION drop down field. Using this drop down, you can set an action for the trigger.
There are 48 types of actions that you can use. Actions include:
AI TASK. An AI action set in the TRIGGERED ACTIONS panel of the AI Group
Properties Advanced Actions menu will be executed. The desired AI action
identified by its name should be selected from drop down list.
DO SCRIPT. Runs a LUA script as entered in the TEXT filed.

END MISSION. If you wish to have the mission end according one or more
specified conditions being set to true, you can use this action. This can be a
handy action to end a mission after all mission objectives have been met. In the
text box, you can also enter text that will appear when one side has won the
mission.

result of this action. You can use the volume setting to determine the size of the
explosion.
EXPLOSION. To have an explosion appear in the mission based on a resulting
action, you can use this action. The three values you need to set include the
name of the zone that the explosion will occur in, the altitude the explosion will
occur, and the size (volume) of the explosion.
FLAG DECREASE. This action allows you to set a defined flag to decrease in
value. Use the FLAG field left and right arrows to set the flag number or
manually enter it in the field. Use the VALUE field left and right arrow keys to set
the value by which to decrease or manually enter it in the field.
