Hi,
I'm trying to use Triggers in my game (when enter in the house, call the monsters, for example), but it's not working. I'm doing something wrong ofcourse.
How do I have proceed? Anyone have some tutorial about it?

Thanks a lot.

Can you post your trigger script so far? Hard to help when we have no idea what you've done thus far that's not working.

For example, in this part of tutorial code I was reading:

function TempleOfEvilTrigger::onEnterTrigger( %this, %trigger, %obj )
{
echo( "The player has just entered the Temple of Evil! - Not the smartest move!");

Parent::onEnterTrigger( %this, %trigger, %obj );
}

I want to change de "echo" line for an action, like make de monsters attack de player.
I'm not finding how to conect de trigger area with the "monsters".

I understand how a Trigger works, but no with others objects.

Any help?
Thanks a lot!

So, more generally, your question is:

"How can I, in arbitrary parts of script code, find arbitrary other monsters, given some selection criteria"?

Store the ID's for the "Temple of Evil" monsters in a Simset object. 

new Simset(TempleMonsters);
TempleMonsters.add(%monsterID);
....

then in the trigger code, you can just loop through all the TempleMonsters objects to activate them or whatever.
