How do you find triggers?

Post by mexel75 »

Hi,

how to I find and see the triggers on the map? Especially those hidden ones. For example some times I'm not sure if a silo is just a decoration or if it's a buy or sellpoint. And straw triggers can also sometimes be hard to find.

I watch the map on you-tube, if its any good I note down the trigger points and load it up, you need to press F1 for the menu, when you think your around the trigger spots it should show up when you are on one, static objects nothing happens and they seem a bit blurred close up.

Yes, I just found that. But what does a trigger look like? Is it a kind of big box?

Yes, a trigger is an empty box made out of yellowish lines, now there are a lot of triggers with different purpose in the game, so you will still have to figure out which one is the sell station.

There are some maps with triggers missing, some with no yellow box's, some are under the concrete or soil, if you stuck for anything just put a similar mod in, make sure the ground is flat it's a lot easier.

For hidden triggers, I turn on the help window and move slowly around the placeable until I see the option come up, then I just note the location for future reference.
