spawn airgroups?

Mmh, you are using a script like the following and named your triggers and actions accordingly, also in the script? (Triggername = Actionname)

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;


public class Mission : AMission
{
public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active) 
    {
       base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active); 

          if ("YourTriggerName".Equals(shortName) && active) //Edit "YourTriggerName"
          { 
                AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("YourActionName"); //same as "YourTriggerName"
                GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, " Your Trigger was triggered ", new object[] { }); //Testmessage
                if (action != null)
               {
                     action.Do();
               }
                GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;            
          }
   }
}

At least that works for me in multiplayer enviroment. Maybe you test you map in multiplayer hosting as server? Some triggers do not work on a dedicated server, but I understood that is not your question.

If you do not use any script FMB triggers would work if name of a trigger and action are the same.

If you have any script working with your mission you have to add a trigger section to it to allow triggers to work. The most simple one is

public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
    {
        base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);        
        AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction(ActorName.Full(missionNumber, shortName));
        if (action != null)
            action.Do();
    }

Your FMB trigger and action must have the same name if you use this script.

Check if both action and trigger are defined correctly (trigger type, airgroup, etc.) and saved in FMB.

I don´t know if it was fixed in the Beta, but the action (spawn airgroup) of triggers was broken, some patches ago. So you have to use a script to link triggers and actions. I supposed you set the trigger and the action in the FMB.

That's what I've done. The info window reports that the group has spawned in my test, indicating that the script has executed, but alas no planes actually spawned

Here's the script I used, the trigger & the spawn airgroup (after 60s) actions are both named 'Dorniers'...

public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
{
base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

if ("Dorniers".Equals(shortName) && active)
{
AiAction action = GamePlay.gpGetAction("Dorniers"); //same as YourTriggerName
GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, " German bomber group spawned ", new object[] { }); //Testmessage
if (action != null)
{
action.Do();
}
GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;
}
}

Try without the delay.

Made a sample mission, the Doniers spawn after 10sec.

im still not able to spawn a single plane after another one gets destroyed!!!
why the heck has this to be sooo hard to achieve...damn
triggers dont seem to work and the scripts showed here in this thread dont seem to work either if i copy and paste them in the mission cs file.
