• Setup what kind of entity passing the area will fire the trigger.
  • Any animal / item / player / projectile etc.
  • Entity type - after picking an entity, any instance of this entity will fire trigger.
  • Specific entity - after picking an entity, only this specific instance (ID) will fire trigger.
  • Labeled entities - will trigger only if trigger entity will be member of given label.
  • Player role - will react to players of specific role.
