Quick answer. Use more than 1 trigger. 1st 60sec, 2nd 120 sec, 3rd 180 sec, and so on. Or you try a script for this.

I seem to remember that triggers by default check their own status once per second. That sounds a little low to me, so that's probably not true, but let's say it is (it's bound to be some value).

I think that instead of directly using a trigger, that maybe you should loop a script that checks the status of a trigger each 60 seconds, and controls the activity from there.

So you have your trigger set up, named, and you have a script that does (something like):

while {true} do
{
if (triggerName) then
   {
      ...code...
   };
sleep 60;
};

I will try this DMarkwick, thanks

Question: The script should be executed by something, the trigger itself?

Question: The script should be executed by something, the trigger itself?

It can be activated by anything, place the exeVM call into any object's init field, or place the call in the mission's init.sqf file. If the mission doesn't have one, make one

If you don't want to script a trigger then an easy way is as follows.

In the init box of a game logic or unit setup up a variable ie var1=true

Then set your trigger conditions, anyone present not present ect and set all timers to 60 and make sure you select repeating

Then put the following code in the correct boxes

Cond this and var1
On Act var1=false
On Dea var1=true

Con can also be just var1 if you don't need all the triggers settings.

that is simply brilliant, can't understand why I can't come up with something simple like that. Thanks all for your help

condition:

time % 60 == 0

[Nicolai]

can a trigger only be activated for a couple of times? It works perfectly, for about 6 times, after then, the trigger is no longer activated. Suggestions?

Thanks

Do tell us how you've set up the trigger.
