Trigger Plan problem

[foxyboy1964]

I'm using the Basic IGOR Guide and have got teams and vehicles following their paths without any problems. However, I just can't get a team to trigger a vehicle's movement.

I've set up a mission with a team and vehicle moving from the mission start. That works fine. The IGOR Guide tells me to set up a zone and to have the enemy team walk towards it (I've actually set their path to go through it). The Guide then tells me to move the Team Plan into the Trigger Plan section, which I've done. But this time when I start the mission the team refuses to move, they just stand there doing not much at all.

Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong?

It sounds like you took the team's plan away, meaning they will do nothing. I'm assuming you want the team's reaching the zone to trigger a vehicle's movement? Try doing this:

Select the team that is to trigger the movement.

Give the team a Path plan to the zone. Leave it under them, do not put it in Trigger Plans.

Make a new plan under the vehicle, let's call it Vehicle Goes. It should be like this:

Speed: 3ms

Path

Have the path go wherever you'd like. Now drag the plan to Trigger Plans.

In your script, set up a block like this:

Group: <Default>

Comment:

team reaches zone

Trigger Event:

A member of Team 802 is within 10 meter(s) of Forest Sound Zone 1. (ProximityTeam trigger)

Responses:

Assign Plan - Vehicle Goes to Vehicle 808 and execute. (ExecutePlanVehicle response)

Remember, Trigger Plans are not used until you assign them through the script. If you want something to move from the start, leave it under them. I think your problem was that you put the team's plan, not the vehicle's, under Trigger Plans.

Yikes! I need to use script?

I'm following the tutorials in the IGOR Guide and they haven't mentioned script yet. I've been trying to get this trigger to work for about 3 hours now and it's been driving me crazy. I reckon I'll just settle for teams following paths and forget the the triggers.

Thanks for the reply. You've saved me from wasting any more time on it.

Yeah, you can't use Trigger Plans without a script, not sure what the guide is saying. Scripting isn't really that hard once you figure things out though.

You're welcome, if you need any more help don't hesitate to ask someone. We were all beginners at a time

Finally got it working. I must have been doing something wrong in the "set objectives" part of the tutorial. Anyway, I tried again and this time missed out the objectives part and went straight to scripting the trigger plans and it worked.

Well done.

Lot of information in these forums for scripting, good luck. Plenty of others can help if needed. Use the search function, or post if needed.
