activate trigger by opening crate

[silentleopard 1]

I'm new to eden editor and I started making SP missions. I learned a few things on my own but I would like to know how to activate a trigger as the player opens a crate and looks in it's inventory.

My thought would be:

User Interface Event Handlers: onLoad

Or perhaps ContainerOpened.

Place this in your crate's init field:

crateOpen = false;
this addEventHandler ["ContainerOpened", {
	params ["_container", "_unit"];
	crateOpen = true;
}];

Place a trigger, change the condition field to "openCrate," then put whatever you need in the onAct field. 

Depending on what you are doing, you might not even need the trigger.

*edit* - basically the same as M1ke_SK's example, only I'm using a global variable instead of setting a variable on the object.

1. name your container in editor "container1" (without quotes)

2. put this code to initServer.sqf in mission root directory (if it does not exist, create one)

//initServer.sqf

container1 addEventHandler ["ContainerOpened", {
	params ["_container", "_unit"];

	_container setVariable ["opened", true, true];
}];

3. put in condition of your trigger this code

container1 getVariable ["opened", false]

4. profit
