Trigger Types Changed ? Any documentation ?

[Phantom_Mark]

Any documentation or explanation of the new trigger types ? I don't recall reading any such updates in the recent patch notes, so guessing this is another of those changes which happened under the radar ?

So before we had:?

Mission Start
Once
Switched
Continuous

Now we have some different options I forget now, but switched has disappeared for example ?

On Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Doc/ there is a PDF Manual "DCS User Manual EN 2020" with fairly complete documentation.

 

Regarding the Trigger Types that you mention, we still have the same four, but one has been renamed (probably for clarity): Continuous is now Repetitive Action. Switched condition still exists.

The DCS World manual was updated fairly recently, and actually includes some really good documentation for the mission editor now.

I was in the editor last night and didn't see the "switched" one which is why I asked actually......

I haven't been searching in the manual because I wasn't aware of any changes as they were not in the changelog, that I spotted at least

Thanks, will take a look. Thx to you both.

Early this year, ED released an updated manual, labeled "2020" .. but for some reason they still kept the old Manual around .. both are on the /doc/ folder, the new manual is 40 MB vs 15 MB for the old one, and has 130 more pages.

 

Here are the 4 trigger types:

This isn't what I saw law night weirdly, as the example you have shown is exactly what I am familiar with.

I will go check now   , EDIT:  As you can see, Switched has gone, seemingly replaced with "Front Condition????"  wth does that even mean ???

Sorry, I'm out of ideas, as I have never seen that trigger type and cant find anything about it on google.

Yeh lol, you can see why I was confused

Are you able to confirm if you have these options in your editor maybe ??  In the mean time I am going back to check some missions I created a lot longer ago and see if anything changed.

The screen capture that I posted yesterday, shows the options that I get on my DCS.

Thinking out loud, wondering if I have a mod causing this problem then, I recently installed the Hercules mod.....will check that as well.

I tought you were not using Mods .. whenever I find a possible bug, the first step in debugging is to disable all my Mods to test again

[Phantom_Mark]

I have always used mods, to plug the gaps DCS leaves    

I will test and post back naturally.
