Hi everyone!

Just wanted to provide the community with the source & compiled version of the triggers posted in this thread, for everyone to use. Can be handy for those not that familiar with compiling packages and just want to use it out-of-the-box. Just drop the .u file in your systems folder and add EditPackages=MoreTriggers to your DeusEx.ini file.

In addition to just compiling the package, I've added the PhysicsTrigger I got from the old DXE forum which can be useful if you want to change some actors physics setting with just a trigger. I've also made some other modifications (see ReadMe) and added UED2 source and compiled file.



Edit: Updated package. Version 1.2 now.

Thanks for these

Does anyone have (or know how to make) a trigger which could disarm the player's inventory similar to when you go into the club in 2027, and you have to re-equip the spawned equipment in another location?

Check the DeusEx/Mission05.uc, function FirstFrame(), starting from
// remove the player's inventory and put it in a room

I've made a small update to the package. From the changelog:

Nice work!

In a possibly flagrant abuse of moderator powerz, I'm stickying this, since I feel that helpful modding resources should not be allowed to drop out of sight.


....like the entirety of DXE....*sobs*

Thanks!

If someone else finds some triggers laying around I'd be happy to include them in a new release.

Also, I actually have some old DXE tutorials I've been able to access through Wayback Machine, I'll compile them and put them up.

I was working on a trigger that gets triggered when the player (or a pawn of a given class or with a given tag, or whatever) can "see" it, with various options defining "see" (direct LOS without world geometry blocking, or AI sight routines, or in the player's case, including the spy drone or security cameras).

I mostly created it to better implement stuff in the vanilla game that already tries to replicate that behavior, like the firefights in Battery Park or Hell's Kitchen.

It still needs to be tested, but I'm sure it would be useful to someone.

Great!

It might not be compatible with MoreTriggers BeenTriggered function, but it could at least be a subclass of MoreTriggers so it gets its fancy icon. Or it could just be incorporated in the package anyway

I was working on a ToggleFlagTrigger today, but ultimately scrapped it when I realized I could solve my problem without it. Although it would be handy to have.

Yeah, my SightTrigger only extends Trigger, not MoreTriggers.

Apparently I also added functionality so you can have it trigger when something can no longer be seen, which I guess would be useful if you want to track when something is in view and when it isn't.

heh, I used triggertrigger to frob a pool ball for dramatic effect during a convo. Pool ball simply ejects away from player's location.
