| Entity |
An object that the trigger affects or interacts with, such as a character, object, sound clip, animation, or other game element. |
| Trigger |
Set the condition under which actions are triggered on specific entities in your game. Some triggers are only available when certain components are attached to an entity. However, the following six universal triggers are always available:- GameStart: Triggered when the game starts. It can be used to trigger a cutscene or other opening sequence.
- TouchedByPlayer: Triggered when the object is touched by the player. It can be used to activate a trap, spawn an enemy, or trigger a dialogue or other event when the player character touches or collides with a specific object or area in the game world.
- EnterTriggerZone(Player): Triggered when the player character enters the trigger area. It can be used to activate a puzzle, jumpscare, cutscene, dialog, etc. when the player enters a designated area.
- ExitTriggerZone(Player): Triggered when the player character exits the trigger area. It can be used to deactivate a puzzle, jumpscare, cutscene, dialog, etc. when the player enters a designated area.
- EnterTriggerZone(SceneObject): Triggered when a scene object enters the trigger area. It can be used to activate a puzzle, jumpscare, cutscene, dialog, etc. when the scene object enters a designated area. However, note that scene objects held by the player character do not trigger this event. To activate the trigger, the player must place the scene object within the trigger area.
- ExitTriggerZone(SceneObject): Triggered when a scene object exits the trigger area. It can be used to deactivate a puzzle, jumpscare, cutscene, dialog, etc. when the scene object enters a designated area. However, note that scene objects held by the player character do not trigger this event. To activate the trigger, the player must place the scene object within the trigger area.

| ActionEntity |
An object that performs a specific action or set of actions when a trigger is activated, such as spawning enemies, playing sounds, or triggering events. |
