Using a keyboard combination to activate groups

[FishbedBG]

And the title nearly says all. I need to know how to manage (if its possible)the triggers in order to press a keyboard combination and activate a group. Example: when the cheif pilot of the mission presses LCtrl+Lalt+/ (completely random combination,assigned in the editor, which doesn't swich something in the plane), a group, which is marked as "late activation" activates and the players start working on that group.

 

I hope that somebody understands me. Sorry :)

The mission editor can't do that. There is one trigger that works in single player when the player hits the space bar or backspace, but I don't think it works in MP and you can't change the keys associated with it.

 

I think you'd want to use the "Radio Item Add" action. It adds an option that appears in your radio's "F10 Other" menu. When you select it, the flag you setup in the editor will be set to true, which can then spawn a group with another trigger.

 

Once>Time More than 2> Radio Item Add("activate target", 1, 1)

 

Once> Flag 1 is True> Activate Group(group1)
