Was hoping someone could help me with getting triggers to work. I've tried everything I could think of. Tried a few Youtube tutorials, but nothing worked. I'm trying to get some T-90's to move through a series of waypoints once my M1 Platoon reaches a trigger box. I have these settings in the trigger

 

Activation:

                Type: Guarded By OPFOR

                Activation: BLUFOR

                Activation Type: Present

 

Condition: this

On Activation: Blank

On Deactivation: Blank

 

Everything else is default

 

The first waypoint for the T-90s is supposed to be activated by the M1's reaching the trigger box. I just can't get it to work. The T-90's just start moving as soon as the scenario starts.I'm willing to try and learn scripts, but I think that would be like trying to teach Mandarin Chinese to Helen Keller

You don't need to set on activation: BLUFOR.   The OPFOR will guard the trigger(s)' point(s) "guarded by" against all enemies, with priority order (1st trigger position, then 2nd trigger position)..

If you don't want your vehicle start and reach the "guarded by" wpt, you need to place another one wpt "move" , first one, close to the vehicle, then a trigger with you condition you want, linked to the waypoint "move".(setwaypoint activation).

Some good readings:

Note also the "skip waypoint"  type for a trigger. Useful to break a guard posture.

Right, I have a series of  "Move" waypoints, with the first one being about 3 meters in front of the T-90 Platoon. What I tried before was linking the trigger to the first "Move" waypoint, hoping to get them to move once BLUFOR gets into the trigger point, but they just start moving through their waypoints once the scenario starts. That's what's really bothering me. I do like the "Guard" waypoint link you sent though, that'll make it easier to set up the counter-attack in the little mission I'm working on

Are you sure your trigger (the one linked to the closest "move" waypoint") is not activated at start? I don't have any issue with that.

Where does it say that it is activated at start? Do I need to add anything to the "On Activation" field? I followed the tutorial below, and some others. Some use this same method, some don't add waypoint activation, and some add command lines in the conditions box. I've spent literally 9 hours or so trying to get this to work using different methods

Well, I figured out a workaround. I set the first waypoint as HOLD, then changed the trigger type from "Guarded by OPFOR" to "Skip Waypoint. Worked like a charm. Thanks for trying to help
