I've yet to make any ships appear that wouldn't appear otherwise.

Any ideas?

Ie:

I make a time trigger, say march 1, 1943.

I have 2 events triggered at the time. The first even is a message. Easy.

The second is an "Update Instance."

I tell it to spawn the group CV TF.

What group properties does CV TF need?

If I set the TF to spawn march 3d, for example, that's when it spawns. If I didn't have the trigger, it would STILL spawn the 3d, so the trigger does nothing. I'd have expected that when the time trigger happened the 1st, the group would have spawned early.

Alternately, it seems like I could set the spawning to "-1" and it would NEVER spawn, but if the trigger was set it should spawn anyway.

Anyone grok this?
