Triggers

[atrX 148]

Types of triggers

There's a couple different types of triggers:

• trigger_use: Activates when a player presses the "use" button on it.
• trigger_use_touch: Activates when a player presses the "use" button when touching it.
• trigger_radius: Activates when a player (and/or AI, depending on how it's set up) is in its radius.
• trigger_multiple: Activates when a player (and/or AI, depending on how it's set up) is touching it.
• trigger_damage: Activates when it gets damaged.
• trigger_hurt: Activates when a player (and/or AI, depending on how it's set up) is touching it, will deal trigger_hurt.dmg amount of damage to the entity touching it.
• trigger_lookat: Activates when a player is looking at it.

There's some more trigger types which you most likely will never use and I will therefore not mention them.
