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

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.
