Its quite simple, every group has a parameter named "start". By default it will be whatever the mission start time is, usually 12:00:00/0 (Hours: Minutes: Seconds / Day) This number defines when the group will appear, so if its the same as the mission start time it will be spawned at the start of the mission. If you make it read 12:05:00/0 it will spawn in 5 minutes after mission start. The group activate trigger acts as sort of an override causing the group to spawn sooner. Generally if you want to use group activate you set the start time for that specific group to a day later. (12:00:00/1) It doesn't have to be a day, it just needs to be some time greater than how long you think the mission might be running for. I just like using days because its easier to change and keep track of than doing a delay a few hours longer than however long the mission should run for.
