Trigger files revisited, directly from Codec:

Trigger files (.tri)

Syntax: Comments start with a / and the rest of the line is ignored.

Keywords are:

How many events there are in total:

#TOTAL_EVENTS [number]

Then follows an initialisation section that has the following fields. This is read at the start of a new campaign. Section ends with the ENDINIT

This event is set:

#SET_EVENT [event]

This event is cleared (not set):

#RESET_EVENT [event]

Redundant, use to set the campaign tempo:

#SET_TEMPO [number]

Redundant, use to read a teams priority file:

#CHANGE_PRIORITIES [teamno] [number]

The following only apply to special initialisations.

Bullseye reference point X position. X-position of relative map point to calculate best new Bullseye position (closest FLOT objective to this point will become new bullseye position):

#BULLSEYE_X [number]

Bullseye reference point Y position. Y-position of relative map point to calculate best new Bullseye position (closest FLOT objective to this point will become new bullseye position):

#BULLSEYE_Y [number]

FLOT sort direction; 0 = West-East, 1 = North-South. 0: Sort FLOT by X-coordinates (default), 1: Sort FLOT by Y-coordinates:

#FLOT_SORTDIRECTION [number]

FLOT distance position. Maximum distance between two FLOT objects (in km) to draw a line:

#FLOT_DRAWDISTANCE [number]

These parameters must be placed in the first setup part between #TOTAL_EVENTS and #ENDINIT.
Defaults are:

#BULLSEYE_X 512
#BULLSEYE_Y 512 (center of Korea, which is original value)
#FLOT_SORTDIRECTION 0
#FLOT_DRAWDISTANCE 50

End of initialisation section:

#ENDINIT

The remaining parts can occur anywhere in the file

End of the trigger file - everything else is ignored:

#ENDSCRIPT

A family of tests for certain conditions chosen from the following:

#IF

True if event number has been fired (set in the EVT camp sub file):

#IF_EVENT_PLAYED [event]

True if friendly/enemy team has ground task manager priorityObjective set to [number]:

#IF_MAIN_TARGET [F|E] [number]

True if team friendly/enemy camp_id primary objective has ground_assigned set:

#IF_TROOPS_COMMITTED [F|E] [camp_id]

True if the team controls the list of objectives. With type of 'A' it must own all the objectives in the list, else it must own any of them (and/or logic):

#IF_CONTROLLED [team] [type] [obj list]

True if team has initiative level greater/less than or equal to the number given:

#IF_INITIATIVE [team] [G|L] [number]

True if the team has current stats of greater/less than or equal to the number:

#IF_SUPPLY [team] [G|L] [number]

True if the player option for enemy ground experience is greater/less than or equal to the number:

#IF_PLAYER_DIFFICULTY [G|L] [number]

True if the friendly/enemy team controls more than number objectives:

#IF_PRI_CONTROLLED_LT [F|E] [number]

True if team has ground action offensive type set:

#IF_ON_OFFENSIVE [team]

True if force ratio is of the right ratio. - type is A for current aircraft, G for current ground vehicles, N for current no ships, anything else is aircraft + ground The number is calculated for the given team and the opposite team. Then the ratio is (team no * 10) / (opposite number) which to be true must be greater/less than or equal to the number:

#IF_FORCE_RATIO [type] [team] [opposite] [G|L] [number]

True if this many hours have elapsed since the last major campaign event:

#IF_BORDOM_HOURS [hours]

If G is present, true if the current campaign day is ]= the number, else true if less that or equal:

#IF_CAMPAIGN_DAY [G|L] [number]

With a G, true if the team has reinforcements ]= number. Else less than or equal:

#IF_REINFORCEMENT [team] [G|L] [number]

True if a random number isless than the given number, which is between 0 and 100:

#IF_RANDOM_CHANCE [number]

True if the given condition above is false #ENDIF - closes the:

#ELSE

Play the given movie number:

#IF #PLAY_MOVIE [num]

Change the relations between team and with to the given rel state. If rel is Allied, then the teams merge:

#CHANGE_RELATIONS [team] [with] [rel]

Set the event number:

#DO_EVENT [num]

Move the initiative by amount from the fromteam to the toteam:

#SHIFT_INITIATIVE [fromteam] [toteam] [amount]

Clear number event:

#RESET_EVENT [number]

End the campaign with the given type:

#END_GAME [type]

Update the last major event to now:

#RESET_BORDOM_TIMEOUT

No longer used:

#CHANGE_PRIORITIES

Supply level for team is set to at least s, fuel is set to at least f and replacements set to at least r:

#SET_MINIMUM_SUPPLIES [team] [s] [f] [r]

For primary objective camp_id, set the teams ground and air priority to the number. This also sets the primary objective flag scripted_priority:

#SET_PAK_PRIORITY [team] [camp_id] [number]

Few entries found in AF tri files, the effect these have are unknown at this time.
