Dead entities are excluded as well as crew in vehicles, vehicles themselves are included.

condition: String - code containing trigger condition. Special variables available here:

this (Boolean) - detection event
thisTrigger (Object) - trigger instance
thisList (Array) - array of all detected entities

activation: String - code that is executed when the trigger is activated. Special variables available here:

thisTrigger (Object) - trigger instance
thisList (Array) - array of all detected entities

deactivation: String - code that is executed when the trigger is deactivated. Special variable available here:

thisTrigger (Object) - trigger instance

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:: _trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "hint 'trigger on'", "hint 'trigger off'"];
