Description:: List of units that would activate given Trigger. This command returns For trigger of type "Not present" the list is the same as that returned for "present".
Groups:: Uncategorised

Syntax:: Array = list trigger
Parameters:: trigger: Object
Return Value:: Array or Nothing - It returns nothing before the simulation strted, i.e. in (undelayed) init.sqf files or in VBS OME. Returns a pointer to the trigger's list after the simulation started.
Since this is just a reference this means that the value in your local variable will change as the content of the trigger area changes. To permanently copy the returned list to a different variable, use _mylist = +(list triggerOne).

Only post proven facts here! Add Note

To use the trigger list inside the trigger definition (in the "On Activation/Deactivation" fields) use the array thislist instead.

{player sidechat format["%1 activated trigger",_x]} foreach thislist
