Triggers are a feature of the Mission Editor which allow for vastly more complicated missions to be created, they can be used for scripted events, as well as for enabling more advanced mission features such as capture points, spawn points, visible way-points, and much more. As well as being useful for making more advanced single-player missions an understanding of triggers is a necessity for creating multi-player user missions, as such missions require triggers to function.
Triggers consist of three main components (also known as elements): Events, Conditions, and Actions. An event is what causes the trigger to execute, for example, the "periodicEvent" event will execute the trigger according to the specified interval (for example once a second, or once every 15 seconds). Once a trigger is executed a condition determines whether the trigger should continue to carry out the actions assigned to it, or should not do anything / carry out any else actions assigned to it; for example the "UnitInArea" condition will carry out the triggers actions if the specified unit is within the specified area at the moment the trigger is executed. Finally, actions define what the trigger does once it is executed and the condition is met; for example "playHint" displays a message on the user's screen and "unitDamage" can be used to damage part of, or destroy a unit. Actions can also be assigned as "elseActions" which instead of being carried out when the condition is met, will be carried out when the trigger is executed, but the condition is not met. If there are no elseActions then the trigger will do nothing when the condition is not met. Triggers can be assigned multiple events, conditions and actions. If a trigger is created with no conditions then it will carry out its actions whenever it is executed, this is useful for triggers which always need to run, for example, a trigger to draw various lines on the mini-map at the start of the mission. Be aware that if a trigger is created without conditions and "enableAfterComplete" is ticked then the trigger will run forever, repeatedly every time this event occurs (for a default trigger this means it would carry out its actions once a second, every second for the entirety of the mission, unless it is disabled by another trigger).
In order to make a trigger you first need to display the trigger window in the mission editor, this can be done by clicking the "Properties and Triggers / Mission Obj. info" button (looks like 
) on the mission editor bar at the top of the editor. This will open the "Triggers / Mission Obj. Info" window (from here on known as the "trigger window") at the right-hand edge of your screen, this window is where you can edit triggers and mission objectives (for the time being it will be blank). Now in the properties window (where your mission settings are) scroll down until you reach the Triggers / Mission Ob. Navigation section and expand it if necessary.
This window is where all the triggers and objectives of your mission will be stored, organized under the (currently empty) "Triggers" and "Mission Objectives" folders. There are several buttons at the bottom of this section:
To create your first trigger click the "Trigger" button, this will create your first trigger "Trigger_01" and display it in the trigger window. What you see will look similar to the image to the right (you will only have "Trigger_01" whereas the image has several other triggers, categories and objectives for demonstration purposes). At the top of the window is the triggers name, this can be changed to whatever you want (however should not be the same as any other triggers), it is best to pick a descriptive name such as "Setup" or "Teleport Player" to keep it clear what everything does, however, this is completely optional. The next option is an "Enabled" checkbox, by default, all triggers start enabled, disabling a trigger effectively prevents it from being executed. This is useful for triggers than you want to manually activate or execute at specific moments, as triggers can be enabled, disabled and even just executed without enabling it during the mission by other triggers. The next field is a comments box, this has no effect on the trigger's operation and is just for documenting what it does, it is completely optional.
Now we have reached the "Elements" section, and below it the "Element" section (Gaijin could have come up with better names) this is where you build your trigger; the "Elements" section is where you create the events, conditions, actions, and else actions of your trigger, while the "Element" section is where you modify the properties of each component. The elements area consists of a window with four folders where the contents of your trigger will be displayed, and underneath a collection of buttons:
The "Element" section at the bottom will update with different fields and buttons depending on the currently selected trigger component.
In this example, we are going to make a simple trigger which will teleport the player to a new location when the player enters a specific area. For this example the player unit will be in a tank (placed as "tankModels" in the editor) called "Player", there will be an area called "Teleport_Area" and another called "Destination_Area" (exact setup can be seen in the image to the right). When the player tank enters "Teleport_Area" we want it to be teleported to "Destination_Area".
To follow along with this example create a "tankModels" unit type, assign it as the player's vehicle, call it "Player" and set it to a tank you own. Create two box areas for the teleport and destination areas (called "Teleport_Area" and "Destination_Area"). If not already present from reading the previous section create a new trigger.
You should now have a fresh trigger (likely called Trigger_01 or similar), we will begin by renaming the trigger to something more descriptive so if we come back to the mission later it is nice and clear what it does; to do this select the name field, delete the old name and type a new name for the trigger, for example "Teleport Player". We will leave most of the properties as default, however, we will tick "enableAfterComplete" as we want the player to be teleported every time they enter the area, not just the first time. We will then select the "periodicEvent" event and set its time field in the Element area to 0.1, this means the trigger will be executed and check if the player is in the area every 0.1 seconds.
Next, we will click the "Condition" button and look for the "unitWhenInArea" condition and insert it into the trigger, this condition allows us to check whether a chosen unit is within a specified area at the moment the trigger is executed. When the condition is added it should automatically become selected in the "Element" section, scroll down in the trigger window so that all of the settings can be seen. The "object" field is what the condition is going to act on, in our case we want to check the player's unit to see if it is in the area, so we will set this field to the player unit (in this example called "Player"); to do this simply click the field and select the player's unit from the list of available units. The "+ object" button will create another object field, allowing you to check if multiple units are in the area. The target field, in this case, refers to what area we are checking the unit is in, so we will set this to "Teleport_Area". The "+ target" button does the same thing for targets that the "+ objects" button does for objects. We will leave all other settings at defaults, but for future reference here is what they do:
Math allows you to specify how the unit is checked to be in the area; by default it is set to "3D" so the unit must we within the area, if it is set to 2D then along as the unit is within the 2D footprint of the area it doesn't matter how high up the unit is (this setting is mainly useful for triggers aimed at aircraft). This field can also be set to "notNear2D" or "notNear3D", these work the same as "2D" and "3D", but will activate the trigger when the unit is not within the area, instead of when the unit is within the area. The "object_type" and "unit_type_ex" settings allow you to specify criteria about the unit, by default it is set to "isAlive" which means the condition will be met as long as the unit is alive while it is in the area, this can be changed to other settings such as "isDamaged" so the trigger will only activate if the player is both within the area and has damage to their vehicle. Finally, check_objects comes in useful if you have specified multiple units to check, it allows you to say whether the trigger should activate if any of the units are in the area, or if all of the specified units must be in the area for the trigger to carry out its actions. This also works if a squad has been set as the object instead of an individual unit, it let you choose whether a single unit from the squad or the entire squad is required to be in the area.
Next, click the "Action" button and from the list select "unitMoveTo" and insert it into your trigger. This action can be used to do various things relating to units movement (such as telling AI to move to a certain place in a certain way), but we will use it for its ability to teleport units, in this case, the player. Once inserted set the object to the player's unit and target to "Destination_Area", then click the "+ move_type" button to add the move_type field to the trigger and set the field to "teleport". There are a lot of other fields here which will be useful for when you make more advanced missions, but they are outside the scope of this basic guide.
Our trigger is now complete; every 0.1 seconds (10 times a second) it will check if the player's unit is within the "Teleport_Area" area and if it is it will teleport the player to the "Destination_Area" area, if the player is not in the teleport area it won't do anything. Now finish off the mission (give it a name, assign the player unit as the player, set the map to the correct map, that sort of stuff) and test it out in-game.

| unitCheckTag
|
Checks the tags of a specified unit
Each unit in the game has various tags assigned to it which describe it, such as what unit type it is (fighter, bomber, tank, ship, etc.) and what country it is. Working out what the tags are for a specific unit has is a fairly easy task and is done by just thinking about the unit, e.g. a spitfire will probably have the "type_fighter" and "country_britain" tags.
Fields:
- target: The unit to check
- useForTriggerFiltered: Will affect only those units that meet the Conditions
- tags: Clicking this will give you the option to add in various checkboxes to check the units tag against. Should the unit's tags align with those selected then the trigger will activate. For example adding and unchecking the "type_bomber" tag will activate the trigger if the specified unit is not a bomber; likewise, if only the "type_medium_tank" and "country_ussr" boxes are added and ticked then the trigger will only activate if the specified unit is a Russian medium tank.
