Starting defense module from trigger

[Yolo Joe 11]

I've got the Defense Module to work, but I have no idea how to activate it from a trigger.

First trigger has on activation "startDefense = true"

The second trigger has condition and name "startDefense" and is synced to the defense module

The defense module has the 'Condition of presence' "true"

This system works for the "Zeus Lightning" module, but here nothing happens...

Am I doing something wrong?

Isn't the defense module automatically activated when placed in the editor?

If everything is placed and synced together correctly, then yes. It starts automatically.

But I need it to start from a trigger, not automatically

Well, you would simply syncronise it with the trigger, but apparently that's what you did.

Yup, already tried it.

Nevermind, I had to sync the Defend module and the Sector module.

But now I'm having a bit more complicated problem >.<

These arrows show where the enemies are attacking from.

The arrows spawn on the location of the "spawn point triggers"

The arrows appear once the mission starts, without the Defense module activated.

How can I make the arrows appear once my trigger conditions are met? I can't sync a trigger to a trigger and changing the Condition field of the triggers does nothing.

The simplest way would be to hide all markers and display they once the trigger has been activated.

init.sqf

If (isServer)  then
{
   {_x setMarkerAlpha 0} forEach allMapMarkers;
};

In the trigger which activates the defend module put:

{_x setMarkerAlpha 1} forEach allMapMarkers;

However, if you only want to hide those to markers, and not every marker you would need to do it as follows:

init.sqf

if (isServer) then
{
  yourMarker = ["marker1","marker2"]; //all the marker you don't want to hide
  markerModules = allMapMarkers - yourMarker; //seperate the markers you want to hide from the ones you don't want to
  {_x setMarkerAlpha 0} forEach markerModules; //hide all unwanted markers
};

In the trigger which activates the defend module put:

{_x setMarkerAlpha 1} forEach markerModules; //show all markers once the module has been activated

I hope I could help you.

Thank you R3vo! It works perfectly for MP, but what do I do for SP?

if ([b]local[/b]) then
{
  yourMarker = ["marker1","marker2"]; //all the marker you don't want to hide
  markerModules = allMapMarkers - yourMarker; //seperate the markers you want to hide from the ones you don't want to
  {_x setMarkerAlpha 0} forEach markerModules; //hide all unwanted markers
};

This does not work..

(I have no idea what I'm doing :))

The command

[url="https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/local"]local[/url]

expects an object. However, in singleplayer you don't need that at all. Simply put the code without the if condition in your init.sqf. The if (isServer) has only the purpose to prevent JIP players to execute the code all over again.

init.sqf (singleplayer)

yourMarker = ["marker1","marker2"]; //all the marker you don't want to hide
markerModules = allMapMarkers - yourMarker; //seperate the markers you want to hide from the ones you don't want to
{_x setMarkerAlpha 0} forEach markerModules; //hide all unwanted markers

Hi, i would use a defense module in a sp mission. I use zeus system, but no one were spawned. Please help me

[Teck_ 2]

I have tried both options and other commands to disable the trigger markers.

 

Still can't get it to work, need some help please....even removing them entirely would be great!
