I'm not sure if it will work but you could always test it by getting the position of the trigger then setpos the trigger and then compare. Alternatively you can create a new trigger on the fly at the new location.

As far as I know Thobson used one trigger for multiple purposes in Abandoned Armies, so you should be able to move them. He also advised me once to keep a trigger following the car (setPos it on the car while it drives.

Should work.

Yes (as cheetah already points out), you can setPos a trigger :yes:
Just name your trigger and it can be accessed like any other object (setPossed, deleted..).

hoz means that as ArmA includes commands for creating a trigger and setting it's attributes you can create fully functional triggers by scripting
createTrigger (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/ArmAOnly/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=c#createTrigger)
And the commands to set all the 'innards' of the trigger start from
setTriggerActivation (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/ArmAOnly/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=s#setTriggerActivation)

I know this thread is old but the info is still needed.
How do I move a trigger or create a trigger?

Move would be preferable.

The links in this thread no longer work.
