Activating Tracker Module through the Use of a Trigger

TheDUDE

As the title states; is there a way to activate the tracker module only when the conditions of a trigger are met? I would like for the tracker module to only become active if my recon team is noticed by trail/LZ watchers, patrols, etc.

Try using a trigger:
Activation: BLUFOR
Activation type: Detected by OPFOR
Sync trigger to tracker module

If your team is spotted or engaged within the trigger area, synced tracker module should start.

I did that and it didn't activate. I wasn't sure if I might need something in the init of the module/trigger or another method to get it to fire.

This is how I tested in editor:

1) Placed tracker module. Ran into module area. Went into spectator and watched trackers spawn in and either patrol or hunt me.

2) Placed trigger as mentioned above within tracker module zone and synced to module. Trigger On Activation: hint "tracking"; (to make sure trigger fired). Placed NVA set to Forced Hold Fire /Safe mode within trigger area.

3) Ran into module area same as step 1 and no trackers spawned. Moved into trigger area with NVA, got their attention, they raised weapons and fell prone, saw my "tracking" hint. Went to spectator and watched trackers spawn in.

It takes a few seconds for the trackers to start spawning.

Worked like a charm, thanks! One note; it seems to not spawn the avalanche variant if the area covered by the module isn't at least700x700 or so.
