Arma 3 Eden Editor BASIC Trigger Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.พ. 2016
- This is just a basic tutorial going over different ways to adjust units/use the editor. I go over how to set up a very basic trigger where one squad waits to ambush once the enemy squad is in the trigger area.
This is mainly knowledge I have gained from trial and error using the editor myself, if you notice something I'm doing wrong or know a better way to do it, I encourage you to comment and correct me/share your knowledge!
Thanks for watching hope it helps guys!

6:40 is where the trigger part begins.
I put a annotation at the beginning that skips to trigger part
It actually starts at 9:14 to be quite honest.
@Schlimster I mean.. respectfully, it doesn't matter. The about 30% - 50% of the video is irrelevant and isn't necessary.
By far the BEST tutorial on 3DEN that I’ve come across. You give great detail and explain everything slowly so that your viewers can actually hear what you’re saying and it also makes perfect sense. Thank you!
Thanks for all the great feedback from this video guys! Got way more positive feedback than I thought I would and It's awesome that it helped so many people. Really appreciate all the subscribes I've gotten and all the likes. Have fun creating guys hope you guys enjoy my channel:)
but how to make multiple trigger ambush? using same squad?
Schlimster
It no longer works.
This is great. You NEED to make a full series on this, from start to finish
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, to spawn an empty vehicle hold the Alt key when you drag the vehicle onto the map.
Thanks for the vid.
Oh lord ive been doing this wrong for like 2 years.
dude i am watching this in 2019 and this is still helpful and awesome, good job man!
Same bro

Same bro. Ui is different though
you're the only person to have actually explained and demonstrated this simply. Not a single streamer with 100k+ subs has been able to do this... or at least I haven't found them yet. Thank you!!
This was great man! I am new to Arma 3 but love the editor, and you explained the trigger very well! Thank you so much!
TRIGGERED. TRIGGERED. TRIGGERED. TRIGGERED.
😳😳😳
Awesome stuff! Three years later and this video really helped me (= Arma 3 newbie) to get a good idea of how this works. Sure, some things have changed a little bit but not the general aspects. This gave me some really good ideas. thanks a bunch for sharing!
Just jumped onto the mission editor last night to have a look and it was a little confusing, had a look at the tutorials and they were okay but this has helped so much more, great video! really helpful. :)
Thanks!
awesome to hear:)
ty a lot. After 2 years of trying to understand it i were still struggling, but with this video i understand it all.
Thanks mate.I had be doing a bit of the eden scenarios messing around, makes it easier i was sticking to pretty basic stuff.
subbed.
Thank you good sir. there needs to be more Arma basics like this for beginners.
That was very helpful! I couldn't figure out triggers at all... Thanks!
It took you a while to get there, but when you finally did, the basic trigger tutorial wasn't bad. Thanks.
heyo! i subscribed because of this video! this was helpful because i did not know what trigger's were for in the editor, so now this will make my life SO MUCH EASIER!!!!
Thanks, nothing I didn't know but great refresher getting back into Arma. Thanks Again.
Thank you so much, This was very helpful whilst being quick and brief. Good job!
awesome thats what I like to hear! good luck creating:)
Keep throwing out some good quality content man, Very informative and detailed videos!
thanks!
yeah hey man, i have a request.. I'm working on trying to make a mission for ARMA but im having trouble with the scripting side of things, You reckon you could possibly throw out a vid of some basic scripting or how you can use triggers to make certain events happen?
One year old but still gold...thank you so much!
Damn, this helped a lot, thanks for the tutorial!
Took me so long to figure this out.
Dude this helps a lot. It's really very simple but this video makes it even more simple to learn the basics. You just gave me countless hours of fun with this information. Thank you for making this.
+Dan Johnson Great to hear man so glad it helped! It's pretty addicting once you start messing around with it huh? lol
I'm 6 hours in already LOL
hahah yeah that'll happen;)
I just started on pc and Arma. And this video honestly helped soooo much!
Awesome vid dude, saved me so much time making everyone playable.
Fantastic video! Really helped me out this. Keep them coming please on more advanced stuff!
3 years later and I still use this as a refresher.
Great tutorial! FYI, "Guarded by" is a special trigger type that causes units of that side to guard that area if they have a waypoint to "guard."
Only problem I had watching this video was just that your mic keeps cutting in and out when you're not talking. It gets annoying to listen to, but it doesn't impact the help this guide provides so I really do appreciate that.
Thanks for the feedback Shark! Yeah I struggled with tweaking that a lot hopefully its better in my newer videos cause its definitely annoying lol
first really GOOD & USEFULL tutorial, thank you!
This will save me hours of puzzeling.
Just a bit of criticism, I would not worry about all of the basics of EDEN. I would just work on teaching the BASICS of the Trigger. About 6 minutes were spent on basic controls of Eden editor. Great video helped a ton. Thank you!
thank you shlimster for this video, it was SO helpful
Thank you this was extremely helpful saved me a WHOLE lot of time
Thenks dude it took so damn long to do it . Rally helpful thenks man
Great video but one tip. If you want to have a blufor or opfor stay where they are until activated by a trigger, you would put down a hold waypoint right on the squad leaders blue dot then link that to the trigger to and set it to "skip waypoint" so it will skip the waypoint and move on to the next maybe you want the squad to move after holding, that's how you do it. Hope this helped some people :)
Good tip SuperChunk thanks for watching!:)
Thank you, I tried but couldn’t get it to work, now it works!
where is the "skip waypoint" option? can't find it...
under Trigger: Activation - Type
Excellent starter man! thank you so much
thanks you i was searching so many vids to find this and at 5:18 was all i needed
+englishfool So glad it helped man good luck creating!:)
Thanks dude for doing this . 100 hours still don't know how to do this
Thank you so much for this video, the triggers and waypoints were frustrating as all hell.
yeah for sure man. simple once you see somebody do it but hard to figure out. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
thanks man that was a great small tutorial
You are awesome, now i understand how this works, Thanks!
Thank you! Very Helpful and easy to follow, I appreciate it! :D
Thank you! glad it helped:)
Great tutorial for us newbies :D Thanks a million man
This was very helpful, thank you :)
This helped so much! Thank you! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks so much Schlimster!
Please do more tutorials like this with the editor. You literally explain things so much better than other TH-camrs, no messing around just straight to the point.
Thanks a lot man this was really helpful!!
Thanks man it did save me lots of time.
Thx from 3 years later!👌
Schlimster, great tutorial. If I may trouble you with a quick Q, I have a 3-man unit that are located on a tower, and I want them to stay aware (in order to defend if fired upon and such) but I am having the hardest time getting them to stay in the tower. Every time I start the level, they spread apart, go down, how do I make them hold position without losing awareness of potential enemy presence? Kudos again for the great videos, you got a new subscriber.
thanks for the help. u rly helped me. u the best
this is helpful man long live arma.
This is awesome... so well explained... easy.. peazy
thanks mate, great tutorial
Thank you very much man! You are a life saver.
thank you!
so late to the subscribe but damn man im glad that someone did this! helped alot thanks man!!!
great video man!! is there a way i could make a trigger so when i kill all the enemies in the boundaries it has a little task thingy pop up to say task complete? :)
man you ar the best you need to keep up the good work!
Awesome video man this helped me out a lot. Is part 3 out yet anyone?
sweet will have to try this soon!
Thanks now I know how to setup convoy ambushes
Thank you, very helpful
Thanks for the guide.
I jumped on Eden Editor as soon as it was officially released, and coming from the 2D editor I found it tricky, even though it was supposed to be easier. Just minor changes here and there that confused me. So much so that I stayed in 2D to complete my editing needs (stick with what you know).
I'll be sure to try out 3D again this week and set up some scenarios.
Very helpful thanks!
Thank you so much, i'm trying to do a Scenario where the Russian Armed Forced have taken over Georgetown, Tanoa and the U.S Armed Forces have to fight it back.
While the U.S Forces cross the brigde from the nothern side, i want a chopper to fly in and bomb the bridge. AND YOU'VE HELPED ME DO THAT! :D I'll upload it to steam in a few days after i add some details. c:
Thank you!!!!
Thanks a lot. game changer!
Helpful. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Amazing video! Deserved a like! :)
You my friend, just earned a sub
thanks a lot appreciate it!
Thanks a lot it helped!
Very helpful. BI should pay you to do a series.
+Daniel Drumm haha Thanks man but I definitely don't know enough to do that;) glad I could help.
Thumbs up just for the intro description "why am i doing this" :)
Thx.
I'm your 999th subscriber!
Is there a way to make a trigger only respond to a very specific NPC or player? I'm trying to make an op where the win condition is to move a POW to a specific spot.
Thx for your Tuto guy. See you soon.
+Joël Morel thanks man!
If I were to make a trigger that activated when something was destroyed, would I set it to "not preset"? Because I'm trying to make a couple of helos wait for extraction.
Hey man, really good video :) what mods do you use for the US Army if you dont mind me asking
That is the RHS modpack.
Its name is RHSUSAF and there is also a russian version.
it is 2022 and this video helped me so much
I'm trying to learn Eden now and I wanted to ask why you didn't have to use scripting? Your way seemed simple and it worked. I've watched others and they use these scripts i just don't understand yet.... what am I missing?
Hey man thanks this video helped answer some questions that I had but do you know anything about scripting and where to put them in? actually in the final stages of finishing a multiplayer map and would definitely like to ask you some questions
+Soup Notsi Thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback man. Unfortunately I can't say I really have much knowledge in that area, although I wish I did. I do know a good guide you should definitely check out though depending on how much you want to learn. Guide: www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20465
You can download his guide for free and learn at your pace. He does a great job from what I have read explaining things in a way that people can understand. Good luck sorry I can't be of more help:P
+Schlimster Also forums.bistudio.com/topic/183993-scripting-introduction-for-new-scripters/ may be of some help to you.
Thats great I was having trouble with that
Glad it helped!
I'd like to thank you for this video XD
Thanks it really helped +sub
I need help please. I recreated this exactly the same, the only difference is the place. But the independent units move as soon as the game begins. I don't have any mod though. I cannot figure out what is wrong!
Great Vid Bud, thanks for making it. Was wondering if I can have my buddy come in the editor and help me build this ? Or is it restricted to one builder only ?
if I can have someone help me, can you explain how to do that please, thank you !
Thanks man! Good question I'm pretty sure its restricted to one builder though not really positive on that cause I haven't tried it:p
I'm wondering if this doesn't work with certain modded units. While trying to create an OPTRE mission, I did exactly this, and they completely ignored trigger activation. They just continued the waypoints I set for them, even when no BLUFOR units were in the trigger. I experimented with this multiple times in multiple locations, and it was always the same thing. It's as though the trigger just isn't there. I've watched this video a dozen times and I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I need help with the marker sizes. I'm trying to set up and ALiVE campaign which requires placement of markers. However its impossible for me to tell the size of the markers in eden editor. I put it 10x10 and as I zoom the marker grows in size(and vice versa when zooming in)
I figure okay, Altis is a big map. I'll do 1500x1500, all of a sudden it covers the WHOLE map.
Wish that knowledge was more easily understandable in the editor as such (at least a tutorial or guide). Anyhow, thank you: just that one example for a Trigger can improve a Zeus mission (eg.: when players appear in a certain zone, attack, without Zeus intervention).
To be fair though : there is a Help menu with links to the official Wiki and a list of the Script commands.
THANKS DUDE!
NP MAN!
Hi man do you know how to create a mission for an Exile Malden Server? I want to go big and cant find any help.
Very helpful.
you are awesome m8!!!!!
Thank you so much bro.
Also subbed.
Thank you! Very nice video mate. Do you know if it's possible to add a waiting trigger on the units or commands... For example, Jets fly in at minute 1:00, airstrikes at minute 2:00.... etc? I suspect that it might be possible using scripts... maybe?
There is a way to do this, I believe it is pretty easy too if I remember correctly. When im home in a bit ill try to find the ui menu and ill get back to you:)
+Schlimster I did a very fast video so I can upload it and you can see an example, but you just double click the "trigger" and there is a category called "trigger:timer". you can set the all the timer values to one value like "15" and once the trigger is activated they will wait 15 seconds. The seconds are chosen randomly though so if you want 15 set min mid and max to 15
Thanks .. Well done
Thank you, appreciate it
Funny part is I couldn't figure out the trigger.. LITTLE DID I KNOW YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK... Thanks chief!
haha no problem man glad it helped!
Keep up the good work sire!
Whenever the independent guys move up to the first move, they just keep going before blufor gets into the area, any help?
Thank you!
