triggers?

I have been using Construct for a bit, but I still can't figure out how to make triggers.

What kind of triggers are you trying to make?

Hmm, 'triggers' is a bit ambiguous. Any condition->action group could be considered a trigger.

I'll take a stab at what I think you might refer to. In many games, the player walking over a certain spot might trigger an event, or some similar thing?

For example, a hidden trigger spot can be made by making a sprite to serve as the trigger point, setting it to be 'invisible on start', giving it a private variable 'triggered', then setting a couple of events like so:

+ player: player overlaps trigger

+ trigger: Value 'triggered' Equal to 0

-> trigger: Set 'triggered' to 1

-> (do stuff that only happens once, unless 'triggered' is set back to 0)

OR... for duration effects and such:

+ player: player overlaps trigger

+ trigger: Value 'triggered' Equal to 0

-> trigger: Set 'triggered' to 1

-> (do stuff that only happens right when triggered)

+ trigger: Value 'triggered' Equal to 1

-> (do stuff that keeps happening until you set 'triggered' back to 0 to reset the trigger, or perhaps 2 to make it a one-time only effect)

Anyway, if I'm way off the mark, you may want to explain in detail what you want to achieve.

Thanks for this Silent C. Whether it's what redwhizrd is after or not, it's something I wanted to know.

Thanks again.

This is actually what I wanted to know, thank you very much.
