Description
- Description:
- Creates a sensor (trigger) of the given type and at the given position. The type must be a class name in CfgNonAIVehicles or CfgVehicles with simulation = detector. An array containing all units that have activated the trigger is available via list triggerobj. Created triggers can be deleted using deleteVehicle.
NOTE1: Since Arma 3 v1.43.129935 triggers can be created locally on clients using the alternative syntax.
NOTE2: Since Arma 3 v1.53.132440 triggers can be disabled/enabled using enableSimulation command.
Triggers are created with default params, which are:- a - 50.0
- b - 50.0
- angle - 0
- rectangular - false
- activationBy - None
- activationType - Present
- repeating - false
- timeoutMin - 0
- timeoutMid - 0
- timeoutMax - 0
- interruptable - true
- type - None
- text - ""
- name - ""
- expCond - "this"
- expActiv - ""
- expDesactiv - ""

- Calling list immediately after creating a trigger this way (and setting up activation, area, statements, timeout, etc..), will return <null> instead of an array. It seems the trigger needs about 1 second to initialise, after which it will behave as expected: returning an array of all the objects inside the trigger (the ones matching the criteria), or an empty array.
