Triggers question

[markturner1960]

Hi, I want to make a training mission for a Visual ID interception and stern conversion. The triggers needed to initiate voice overs etc will be needed at certain distances as the 2 planes converge. If one was stationary, no problem, but I am wondering how to do this ( what type of trigger) when they are both moving......? I thought about land based points, but this gives no flex in where you fly the intercept. I thought about time based, but again that gives little flex and if one goes wrong, the rest will all go out of synch.....

Any ideas or tips from Mission gurus? Thanks!

u need the condition "unit inside moving zone". just look at youtube for a tutorial

basically u make a trigger zone and when asking the condition it "jumps" onto one of the plane and you check for the other. I use it to check if someone is in formation

EDIT: Check out Page 133 in the DCS User manual (pic attached)

Theres also a pretty good german DCS Mission Editor Guide:

You could set up a trigger zone of the desired size and link it to one of the units and then in the trigger list - unit in movable zone - do something.
