Trigger
Set conditions and parameters for Gimmick.
What is a Trigger?
Trigger has a function to detect what happened in the world or the action of the player and notify it as a message. Messages contain conditions and parameters that drives gimmicks.
The gimmick works when the target and identifier of the message sent by the trigger match the target and identifier of the message read by the gimmick.
Setting items common to triggers
Each trigger component has an item called Triggers, which allows you to set the target and content of the message.
1: Set the type of message to be notified.
2: Set the message value.
3: Add an item.
4: Replace this item with the one above.
5: Delete this item.
6: Replace this item with the one below.
The details of the setting items are as follows.
7: Target: Specify the type of notification target.
| Target | Description |
|---|---|
| This | Notify this item with a message. Can only be set with Item Trigger. |
| SpecifiedItem | Notifies a message to the set item. Set the target item in the Specified Target Item part. |
| Owner | Notify the owner of this item with a message. The owner is the person who grabs or uses the item. For items created by CreateItemGimmick, the owner of the item for which CreateItemGimmick is set becomes the first owner. Can only be set with Item Trigger. |
| Player | Notify the player who executed the message. Can only be set with PlayerTrigger. |
| CollidedItemOrPlayer | Notify the item or player who collided with this item with a message. Can only be set with the On Collide Item Trigger. |
| Global | Notifies you of messages that can be read from all gimmicks. |
8: Key: Specify the identifier of the message.
9: Parameter Type: Specify the message type (value type). Depending on the gimmick, there are restrictions on the types that can be read.
| Parameter Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Signal | Temporary message with no value. |
| Bool | It is a value message that can be expressed by two values such as on / off. The value is set with the Bool Value checkbox. |
| Float | A value message that can be expressed as a real number. Set the value to Float Value. |
| Integer | A value message that can be represented as an integer. For the value, set Integer Value to an integer value. |
| Vector2 | A value message that can be represented as a two-dimensional vector. For the value, set Vector2 Value to two numbers, X and Y. |
| Vector3 | This is a value message that can be expressed as a three-dimensional vector. For the value, set Vector3 Value to three numbers, X, Y, and Z. |
The parameter type of the trigger must match the parameter type of the gimmick that reads the message.
By adding “.x”, “.y” or “.z” to the end of the identifier, each component of the vector type can be read and written as a Float value.
For some triggers, you can specify Input as the value. If Input is specified, the trigger will signal a message with a value that corresponds to the current state of the trigger.
