This is a list of instructor lessons that you can make appear by entering their name in the event_name field of an info_game_event_proxy.

Note:If you want to test any of these out, make sure you first open your save/game_instructor_counts.txt file and delete the contents, or load up the game and enter gameinstructor_reset_counts in the console.

Note:This is not a full list of events. I've only picked the ones that can be useful in your custom maps/campaigns. The ones i did not pick will probably automatically appear at the proper time anyway, and will not work when called by an info_game_event_proxy.
