Trigger Entity
I hope to eventually add support for triggers. This would consist of a placable entity (much like a platform) although invisible outside of the editor.
Concept;
Placing trigger entities;
- trigger 1
- trigger 2
- trigger 3
Would trigger a function of code defined within the map file; such as:
- world.map.trigger1 = function() print ("1 triggered") end
- world.map.trigger2 = function() print ("2 triggered") end
- world.map.trigger3 = function() print ("3 triggered") end
This would be used to allow programmable cut-scenes, temporarily altering the game state (disabling character movement, allowing scripted actions). Or simply for certain entities to move/do something when the player collides with a trigger entity.
