== Uses of Triggers ==

Triggers can be used to activate or deactivate other entities, trigger actions such as Level Complete, show [[ Pop-Up | Pop-Ups ]] or activate [[Upgrade Definition | Upgrades]]. They can also be used to mark out an [[Active Area | Active Area]] for an entity to limit it's movement.

== Add a Trigger ==

To add a Trigger to the scene click the Trigger icon [[File:ToolsMenu10.png|link=]] on the [[ Tools Menu | Tools Menu ]] and the cursor will change to a Trigger icon. Move the icon to the required position and click to place it.

To move the Trigger, use the [[ Gizmos | Move Gizmo]], or use the spin controls in the Position property.

== Properties Window ==

The Properties window will open when a Trigger is added or selected. When a trigger is placed, it will have three tabs:

[[#General Tab | General ]] - sets general properties such as shape and activator

[[Actions Tab | Actions ]] - sets up actions such as upgrades to be set up when selected events occur

[[AI Tab | AI ]] - sets up the behaviour of the trigger
