Description
For descriptions of the available trigger types, see Triggers. For trigger visualization options, see View Options.
Triggers
Ai Seeder
Ai seeders are points from which the AI navigation mesh is created when generating the AI grid. Make sure to place AI seeders within each self-contained area.
Start Point
Start point triggers decide where player characters spawn after character creation.
Region Trigger
Region triggers allow you to associate a name with a particular region of a level. More importantly, they ensure that the camera cannot travel outside this trigger, and that the surroundings are blacked out.
Camera Lock Trigger
Camera lock triggers are similar to region triggers, but only block the camera from moving outside its bounds.
Stats Trigger
A Stats trigger sets the level of characters and items that do not have a level override (-1) within its bounds.
Editing Trigger Shapes
There are 2 ways to edit trigger shapes:
- Editing shape bounds
- Box and sphere triggers have bounds that determine their area. These bounds can be edited with the Shape Edit interaction mode (5) or through the Sidebar.
- Editing control points
- Poly triggers, such as CameraLock or Stats triggers, have control points that determine their area. To edit these control points, first make sure you have View Trigger Shapes enabled. Then you can begin editing them using the poly trigger interaction modes.
