+====== Explosives and Trigger Systems ======
+<WRAP round INFO>This article is a part of [[:arma_3:asset_guides|Arma 3 Asset Guides]].</WRAP>
+===== Setting Explosives =====
+  - Pull desired explosive into your inventory
+  - Use ACE Self-Interaction menu → ''Explosives''  then ''Place''  or ''Attach''  to vehicle or surface
+  - Once placed/attached, use ACE Interaction again on the explosive itself to ''Select a Trigger''
+  - When ready to detonate, have your ACE Interaction menu open and use the activation method.
+===== Explosive Triggers =====
+==== Pressure Plate ====
+  * Built-in trigger that activates when either stepped or driven upon.
+  * Self-detonating. <wrap em>Make sure friendlies and civs don't step on these triggers!</wrap>
+  * Range: 0.5m (proximity-based)
