First I want to say Thank You DavidC99
for all patience to explain the triggers
with simple words

I want to give a positive feedback
because I included 2 simple triggers
in my last Comanche Gold custom
mission "SLAVES"

I used them to situate a negative
outcome options.


Now I am more encouraged to use other kind of described triggers :-)

There is other waypoint trigger
used to situate win option in
the Comanche Gold custom mission
"CONTACT"

2 new and different kind of triggers are used in the Comanche Gold custom mission "DEAD OR ALIVE"
- the first is an area trigger when the player passes wpt1 2 blackhawks are redirected to follow him constantly,



- the second is an area and time trigger when the player passes wpt 5 it starts time counting and gives
a radio conversation messages.
