Activating a trigger by using another trigger

[Bioz 1]

Hello guys, I didn't find anything for this issue. I want that a trigger get activated only when 2-3 other triggers activates (not at the same time). How to do that?

Ha, ninja'd by Prof, but if you want to activate trigger1 upon trigger2 and trigger3 being tripped, then in the Condition field of trigger1 type:

triggeractivated trigger2 and triggeractivated trigger3

From there you can add more etc.

Ok thanks

why not just synchronize the 3 triggers to that trigger? does the same thing.

I also say try playing around with gamelogic AND and OR waypoints, have a gl AND waypoint synched to all thetriggers, and in act code type whatever u need

can you synch triggers to triggers if so never figured out how.

Nope tried that about 10 mins ago.

name all your trigger ie trig1, trig2, trig3

place then in a n array

 arraytrig = [trig1,trig2,trig3]

in the main trigger

cond

{ triggeractivated _x} count arraytrig > 1

on act

hint "At least two triggers activated" 

result would be that you need at least any two of three triggers to have activated

I think you can just create the array in the trigger condition

{ triggeractivated _x} count [trig1,trig2,trig3] > 1

If you didn't put it in the trigger and did it the first way you said it, where would you put the array (arraytrig = [trig1,trig2,trig3])?

You can place it in the init box of any object, unit or gamelogic. You can also place it in an init.sqf file which you create and save your self, this will run automatically every time the mission is run.

wasnt clear enough: you need to use game logic's "AND" wp to synch all the triggers to it. You type in the code inside the wp activation box, then once all the triggers have fired, the code will fire.

You can also synch triggers to other triggers, only, both triggers have to have condition fulfilled to true, then both will activate at the same time.
