Section 1: Introduction
This whole training will be an Introduction on Combat based events and will basically be commands, entities, or other. Start with explaining what combat events are. Combat events are essentially an attack on the ISD. These events are for the players to win and show dominance as well as for them to get some action and have fun.
Section 2: Beginning the training
The tools Gamemaster will use are a variety of different things that they may already understand and know but as a V+ you should be able to answer any questions they have. When starting events it should be at the back of the ISD, on a platform near Bridge. This platform is flat and the spawn for most event jobs. When asking for Actors, it should be decided based on Donation rank! (Pre-Event actors are different.) Aware the Trainee of Net_Graph and things on the guideline that could be of massive assistance. Very important to mention that in any type of crash or crash screen scenario, remove some props or just Map Clean.
Section 3: Tools
The tools that Gamemasters get access to using now are VERY important to understand but all can be explained very easily with the video guides that are placed in the Gamemaster Guidelines.
Send them these videos, & tell them to watch them as they will teach the Gamemaster on how to properly use that tool. Answer any questions they may have: (Hyperlinks are below!)

Section 4: Caution
You must approach everything with caution and this sounds very stressful, but it’s more of just being careful and thinking about things before you do them. Setting HP, modeling, nocliping, all the good stuff can be laggy as well if it’s done excessively so always be safe when doing commands. When doing events try to always have back up plans for Passive RP or even just ending it quickly if it gets out of hand or crashy. Never lose composure, always focus and do not let anyone's comments get to you if they’re calling your event bad or other, experience is what’s important. Be safe with what props or dupes you use, since most props or effects can be large or in the skybox, it can cause mass frame loss or even crashes if there’s too many props, no matter the size.
