gpotter511 -> "Unit Enters Area" Trigger Just Won't Fire (1/9/2019 4:36:15 AM)

All -

I'm running into a situation where an event utilizing a "Unit Enters Area" trigger just won't fire, and I'm not sure why.

The time window is correct. The RP area is valid. The unit characteristics are correct. The DB is current.

I've seen this event fire as recently as today. And yet, it will not fire when the target aircraft enter the area via a scripted mission or a manually entered aircraft of the same type.

Has anyone ever encountered something like this before.

Thanks,
Geoff

is the event repeatable? do you have an example scen to share?

I have not had any issues.

The event is not meant to be repeatable, though I've tried setting it to function as repeatable to see if that would address the problem - no dice.

I do have a .scen to share, but I think I'll rebuild the event in lieu of posting a near-complete scenario as I plan on releasing soon.

I have separately encountered an issue where adding Unit files mid-stream (e.g., Turkish EW radars) causes several other groups already in the scenario to delete. It's not a related or significant error, but I'm wondering if something I did a long way back in construction may be carrying over and causing a problem.

Thanks!

Hi, is this still an issue ?

Hey there Dimitris - yes, I believe so.

I ended up circumventing the issue by switching to a "Unit Remains in Area" trigger with a different name, and was able to get repeatable success with the trigger. I'm conducting a test run of my scenario tomorrow to see if the trigger works "live".

But I was never able to correct the original issue and ended up having to find a workaround.

If you have the original scen file where it failed, it would be worthwhile to post it so it can be looked at to see if there is some funny situation happening.
The trigger use to fire fine (and as far as I know still does). [:D]

I just noticed this. Are you trying to just drop a unit into the trigger area without actually moving it (from outside area into RP area)?

Really would need to see the scen file to understand exactly what you are trying to do.
