As long as your units are on “setCaptive true”, they won’t trigger any Blufor Present triggers.
If you create the trigger in the editor, then group it with your unit (F2 drag a line between them), then you can get the trigger to react only to that unit or any members of his group and so on.

Hope that helps!

Ok, so I’ve used the createTrigger command to create and event handler after my units reach a certain area.

I now have another question, that I’m finding hard to understand from the Biki.

Is it possible to set the “fired” event handler to only change the units’ status if they fire with a certain weapon? ie, if they fire their suppressed pistols, they remain captive, but if they fire their unsuppressed rifles, they become non-captives?

So that would be using the createTrigger command?
I’m not very good with scripting… ^^

Best way would be to just not create the triggers until the players are in the area/situation where you wanted to check for that.

I’m not sure how to detect if an AI is killed by a vehicle running them over actually. I guess you could test for an unknown death then see if the player is in a vehicle nearby or something. Probably better to just test if anyone dies then the players are revealed to keep it simple.
