CDK Mission Editor: Triggers

Triggers are an integral part of anything but the most basic of User Missions. This article covers the basic operation of triggers and what each available component does.

Overview

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).

Creating Triggers

The Basics

The trigger window with a blank trigger (Trigger_01 selected), other triggers and categories are for demonstration purposes

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:

Trigger This button will create a new trigger, either inside the root "Triggers" folder inside the currently selected category.

Category This button will create a new category, either inside the root "Triggers" folder inside the currently selected category. Categories are essentially folders for triggers, functionally they serve no purpose to the mission and exist to allow you to organise your triggers. Categories can be created inside other categories and form folder trees which can be collapsed to hide triggers not currently of interest (collapsing categories will not disable or remove their contents). If a category is disabled all of its contents (including stuff in subcategories) will be disabled.

Mission Obj This button will create a mission objective in the "Mission Objectives" folder. Mission objectives are described in other guides.

Copy and Paste The Copy button will copy the selected trigger or mission objective. If a mission objective is selected and the copy button is pressed then a duplicate mission objective will be created. If a trigger is selected when the copy button is pressed then the Paste button will become available this allows you to select a different category for the trigger to be pasted into, once the destination is selected pressing the Paste button will create a duplicate of the copied trigger there.

Del This button will delete the selected trigger or mission objective.

Up and Down These buttons will move the selected trigger, category or mission objective up or down in the list, this does not affect the behaviour of the mission and is used to keep the lists organised.

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.

Next is the trigger properties section this contains the following fields:

actionsType By default this is set to "PERFORM_ONE_BY_ONE" meaning the actions will be completed in the order they are present in the actions list of the trigger. This option can be changed to "PERFORM_ALL" where all actions are completed at the same time.

conditionsType By default this is set to "ALL", but can be changed to "ANY". For triggers with multiple conditions, this determines whether all of the conditions need to be met for the trigger to carry out its actions, or if any of the conditions being met is enough for the trigger to carry out its action(s).

enableAfterComplete By default this is set unchecked, meaning that once the trigger has carried out its actions, it becomes disabled. If it is checked then the trigger will carry out its actions every time it is executed and the condition is met, instead of just the first time.

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:

Event, Condition, Action and ElseAction These buttons will display a new window with a list of all the available events, conditions and actions, depending on what button is pressed (the Action and elseAction buttons display the same list of actions, but will insert them into either the Actions or ElseActions area). There is a search box which will find the first item matching the phrase entered, it will only return the first entry in the list however, there may be more matches further down. To insert a component, select it from the list and click "Ok".

Up and Down These buttons will move the selected element up and down in the list. Changing the order of components only affects the Actions and ElseActions area where the actions will be carried out in the order they appear in the list. If actionsType is set to "PERFORM_ONE_BY_ONE" (the default setting) in the trigger properties area.

Delete This button will delete the selected trigger component.

Copy This will copy the selected trigger component, multiple components can be copied from different triggers (or the same one) without needing to press "Paste ..." each time.

Paste ... This button will display a list of all the copied components (grouped by type) and allow you to select one to paste into the currently selected trigger.

The "Element" section at the bottom will update with different fields and buttons depending on the currently selected trigger component.

Worked Example Trigger

The completed trigger and mission setup to Teleport a player

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.

playersWhenCurrentBullet	Checks which ammo slot the player has selected and activate trigger if it matches set value As this condition only is believed to only work in single player, this effectively lets you check what ammo type the user is using as in single player missions you assign ammo to the player, so know what slot each shell is in. Fields: buttletNo: Can be a number between 0 and 3, determines what ammo slot the player should have selected in order for the trigger. Is a 0 based numbering system, so 0 is the first ammo slot (ammo slot 1), up to 3 which is ammo slot 4.	SP only

unitDistanceBetween	Will activate the trigger if a unit is within a set distance of a set object Fields: object: The unit to check the distance from target: The target to check the unit's distance from value: The distance between the unit and the target (in metres) var: An integer variable can be assigned here to override the value of the "value" field math: Can be "2D", "3D", "notNear2D" or "notNear3D", determines how distance is calculated 2D is just concerned with 2D distance (distance between two objects on if drawn on a top-down map), whereas 3D takes height difference into consideration; notNear will activate trigger if players are not within the distance, instead of being within the specified distance. object_type: The status of the unit to be considered by the condition unit_type_ex: Unknown, likely more options for checking the status of units before activating the trigger target_type: The status of the target to be considered by the condition target_marking: Only works for Multiplayer A number between 0 and 31. Checks the marking of the target unit, units are marked with a number using the unitMark action. If multiple targets are selected only targets with the correct marking are considered by the trigger, e.g. if set to 5 the trigger will only activate if the unit is within the set distance of a target with a marking of 5, even if the unit is within range of another target with a different marking. check_objects: can be "any" or "all", where there are multiple objects set decides if all objects must be within distance or just one check_targets: can be "any" or "all", decide if the object must be within the specified distance of all targets or just one compareCenters: Determines if the measurement is taken from the centre of the object and target or closest point check_all_units: Functionality unknown	Both

unitWhenControls	Activates trigger if the units control positions match a given value Fields: object: The unit to check func: Can be "less", "more", "equal", "notEqual" "notLess", "notMore", determines how to compare the control position to the number specified. value: A number accurate to 2 d.p, determines what the control setting should be checked against (e.g. for flaps 0 might be flaps fully up, 1 might be flaps fully down and 0.5 flaps halfway; these are made up and untested numbers, you will need to experiment). property: The control to check.	Both
unitWhenCountMatches	Activates trigger when the number of units meeting the condition is equal to the number set All units assigned under the object field of this condition are counted together, including units which have had their count increased. For example, if two units have been assigned and one has had its count increased to 5 then the trigger will consider the status of all 5 subunits and the other unit, for a total of 6. If the object_type is set to isAlive with the function less than 3 then the death of any four units will activate the trigger. Fields: object: The unit(s) to check, allows for multiple objects to be assigned, groups can also be assigned. object_type: The criteria the units are evaluated against e.g. "isAlive" or "damaged" unit_type_ex: Unknown, likely more options to check the unit's status. object_marking_var: Allows and integer variable to be assigned, likely takes the value of the variable as a marking (set with the unitMark action), allowing the trigger to be activated depending on the number of units with certain marking. func: Can be "less", "more", "equal", "notEqual" "notLess", "noteMore", determines how to compare the control position to the number specified. value: An integer value for the number of units required to meet the condition. var: An integer variable can be assigned here to override the value of the "value" field	Both
unitWhenEnemyNear	Will activate the trigger if the specified unit is within a set distance of an enemy Fields: object: The unit to check object_type: The status of the unit in order to be considered by the condition unit_type_ex: Unknown, likely more options to check the unit's status. enemy_type: The status of the enemy unit in order to be considered by the condition distance: the distance between the player and the enemy unit (in metres) use_variable: Enables the use of a variable instead of the specified value. distance_var: An integer variable can be assigned here to override the value of the "distance" field, if "use_variable" is ticked check_objects: can be "any" or "all", decides if all specified units must be within distance or just one	Both

UnitSetProperties	Provides the option to set multiple types of properties for each unit class, as well as some basic functionalities taken from other actions. Note: If you are planning to use the unitSetProperties action that changes something in units that were respawned by using the unitRespawn then there should be a small delay between these action, it can be done by putting the wait action set to 1 between them. This issue can for example prevent the game from setting the speed to the desired value after the unit dies, it will be set to 0 after the spawn and the unitSetProperties action will not be able to change it without the delay and the AI unit will most likely crash the plane. Fields: Plane - Use it when you want to apply it also to the player's plane, for example the thrust_mult Control ai_skill: Sets the skill level of the AI unit thrust_mult: Multiplies the unit's thrust by the given amount. This does not allow the unit to bypass its speed limits aggressive_wingman: kamikaze: silence: task: target: targetDeviation: Used for editing the unit's accuracy.

In-Depth Notes

This category is for in-depth explanations on how to use certain actions (when the explanation simply doesn't fit in a table)

Capture Zones

Drawing the capture zone circle

There are some specific things to do in order for a capture zone to work properly and for the capture zone circle to be drawn.

First, you need to create a capture zone unit, they are found in the "objectGroups" type, under the names of "capture_zone_circle", "capture_zone_circle_color" and "capture_zone_water". Select the one that is the most appropriate for your use case, and put it anywhere on the map (the position really doesn't matter, you can put it outside the battle area if needed).

(You can rename it to something meaningful like "cz_circle_01")

Then, in the "missionMarkAsCaptureZone" action, go to the "markUnit" parameter (all the way down, before the "showBorderOnMap" parameter and after the "markUnitPreset" parameter) and select the capture zone unit you just created.

Don't forget to make sure the "markUnitPreset" parameter is set to the relevant type ("tank_decal" if your capture zone is on the ground for ground vehicles to capture, "ship_buoys" if your capture zone is on the water for ships to capture)

Matching the capture zone circle with the capture area

This section is if you're having an issue where the drawn capture circle does not match the actual capture area (so for example, you drive into the circle and it doesn't start capturing until you go much deeper, or it starts capturing before you even drive into the circle).

If you're using a cylinder area (this issue might also happen with other forms of areas), you need to have the "X" and "Z" scale axis match (see image).

To make them match, you can either:

• (Easiest) Select the capture area, open the object properties panel if not already opened, and edit the "Radius" value (see image for reference), changing the radius will edit both the X and Z axis at the same time and make sure they're the same
• Select the capture area and select the scale tool (the one circled on the image), then edit the X and Z values manually to be the same.

Creating a convoy

To create a convoy consisting of the AI units a few actions are required. As a start create a few AI units and put them in one line like in the picture below. Set their names to for example t1_convoy_01, t1_convoy_02 etc.

Then by using the Create way icon create a waypoints which will be used by those units. When it is done change the name to for example convoy_route_01. Do not forget to switch the speed of every waypoint point, it is the best to set it ~5 km/h lower than the maximum speed of slowest unit which will added to the squad.

The last thing that needs to be done not related to adding actions is to add a string variable, it is required in order to make the convoy work with the action for assigning waypoints and properties. Every squad/convoy needs to have its own name.

The last part is adding actions, five of them are needed to make it work correctly:

1. makeSquadFromUnits - All that needs to be done there is to add units by using the object tab, up to 12 units can be added there.

2. setHeadSquad - The same objects needs to be added there, options removeOnKill, followLowestSpeed and useCurrentFormation needs to be enabled.

3. unitSetRoute - An action used for assigning waypoints, the variable name needs to be added there as an Object (for example @convoy_squad), then the waypoint's name in the route tab.

4. unitSetFormation - Used for changing the formation, works the same way like option in Object Properties window after selecting some unit. The allUnitsInOneFormation option needs to be enabled.

5. unitSetProperties - The last action, used to give the AI some basic properties, destroyRIByCollision should be enabled to make the AI destroy trees and other objects, ignoreObstaclesAfterTime in case when the AI gets stuck, allowOvertakeMode in case when some units are lagging behind and movementTraceIR to make the AI register collisions.

If all options were applied correctly then the convoy should work without any issues.
Sample file with an AI convoy

The same method works also for the AI ship units, the only difference is what option needs to be enabled in the unitSetProperties action. Required options are the shipTurnRadius (can be set to for example 500), enableShipCollisionAvoidance and advancedCollisionAvoidance.
