Set "repeat" to "1" if it should do it again and again instead of just once.		This will fire at its targets upon a specific number of times being triggered itself, based upon the "count" spawnarg.

Needs to be activated by another trigger. Fires target 0 when first triggered, target 1 when next triggered, target 2 when next triggered etc. Can repeat the sequence after triggering the last target if desired. Its targets are triggered in lexicographical, rather than numerical, order; so target10 will fire before target2.

	When the origin of an entity is within the bounds of this entity, the target(s) will be triggered, then the trigger_once is removed.

When the origin of an entity is within the bounds of this entity, the target(s) will be triggered, then the trigger_once is removed. (Note, to resize the brush after creating the entity, select it then press Tab once.). By default only responds to the player entity. Set the 'anyTouch' spawnarg on the trigger to '1' to respond to AI as well.

	Point any trigger at a target_callscriptfunction entity and give it the spawnarg, "call" ''ScriptFunctionName'', where ''ScriptFunctionName'' matches "void ''ScriptFunctionName''()" in the map's .script file. See [[Scripting_basics#Script_invocation\|script invocation]] for more info.		Point any trigger at a target_callscriptfunction entity and give it the spawnarg, "call" ''ScriptFunctionName'', where ''ScriptFunctionName'' matches "void ''ScriptFunctionName''()" in the map's .script file. See [[Scripting_basics#Script_invocation\|script invocation]] for more info.

			TIP: Many triggers will accept "call" ''ScriptFunctionName'' directly, bypassing the need for a target_callscriptfunction entity.

	Most commonly used to trigger many targets, or do so after a delay (per the "delay" spawnarg). May be set to only work once (spawnarg "wait" "-1") or limit firing based upon how many seconds have passed. The "random" spawnarg may be used with "wait" to vary the firings. Very useful as the target of worldspawn, to trigger things at map start (since worldspawn currently only activate one "Target"), or as the target of Objectives.

			If a trigger_relay that is the target of worldspawn fails to be activated on map load, try setting "delay" "0.5" on the trigger.

			== trigger_inactivity ==
			Once triggered, activates its targets if <delay> seconds pass in which it is NOT triggered again. You can use this for e.g. the kind of alarm system seen in Calendra's Cistern and one or two other Thief FMs, where a guard presses a button as part of his patrol route, and an alarm goes off if a certain length of time passes without the button being pressed.
