	These options provide a graphical method of creating a trigger condition. The chosen ''Activation'' option generally combines with selected condition type from the six condition types below (''Present'', ''Not Present'', ''Detected by West'', etc). Some of these conditions can not be easily or efficiently recreated using script commands. Note that these options only define what value ''[[this]]'' (in the [[#Condition\|condition]] string) will have each time the trigger is checked. Choose who or what will activate the trigger from the drop down menu. If the trigger is linked to a unit, only the relevant options will be available.

	A trigger is an abstract game entity that will wait until it's [[#Condition\|condition]] block returns true, then carry out the ''On Activation'' string. When used effectively, they can make your mission seem much more dynamic and realistic. For example, you can use a trigger to set off a siren and call reinforcements when the player is spotted near an enemy base, or to start a convoy moving when the player gives a radio command. Triggers are represented in the mission editor by a dark blue ellipse or rectangle with a small blue flag in the centre. Triggers may be linked to an object in [[Mission_Editor#Groups\|Groups Mode (F2)]], which generally means that only that object or group can activate the trigger. Triggers can be used in various ways, for example the location and dimensions of a trigger are not always used as part of it's conditions, and triggers do not necessarily require an ''On Activation'' block, instead being used to return a [[list]] of objects that satisfy it's conditions. Each trigger's ''Condition'' block will be checked approximately twice every second for the duration of the mission. To add a new trigger to your mission, double left click in some empty map space. The ''Trigger Menu'' will open.		A trigger is an abstract game entity that will wait until it is [[#Condition\|condition]] block returns true, then carry out the ''On Activation'' string.
