trigger_asw_button_area is a brush entity available in Alien Swarm.

This Entity is used to define the settings for and control the visual effects on useable door panels.

Start Disabled ([todo internal name (i)]): Should the trigger start disabled?

Filter Name ([todo internal name (i)]): Name of the filter defining what type of entities can activate this trigger.

Use Target ([todo internal name (i)]): Name of the door that this trigger is linked to.

Panel Prop name ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>: The name of the panel that this trigger is linked to. Normally this will be a prop_dynamic with 3 skins:

Players Required ([todo internal name (i)]): The number of players that must be inside the trigger for it to activate. This value will be capped at the total number of players.

Time to charge up ([todo internal name (i)]): How long the hack will take to complete once all wires have been fixed. Possibly obsolete?

Num Wires ([todo internal name (i)]): How many separate wires are in the puzzle.

Locked ([todo internal name (i)]): Is the panel locked? Set to 'yes' if you want the players to have to hack this door.

BaseTrigger
`OnStartTouch` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger. `OnStartTouchAll` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger, and no other entities are touching it. If there are any other entities touching the trigger when a new one begins to touch, only `OnStartTouch` will fire. `OnEndTouch` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity stops touching this trigger. Note:Will also fire for entities touching it when trigger is disabled via `Disable` input Warning:This includes entities which are deleted while inside the trigger. In this case `!activator` will be invalid. Warning:`OnEndTouch` can fire before `OnStartTouch` under certain circumstances^[How?] where both are fired on the same tick and each have the same delay. Fix:Add a slight delay to `OnEndTouch`. `OnEndTouchAll` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when all valid entities stop touching this trigger. `OnTouching` (in all games since ) `!activator = !caller =` this entity Fired if something is currently touching this trigger when `TouchTest` is fired. `OnNotTouching` (in all games since ) `!activator = !caller =` this entity Fired if nothing is currently touching this trigger when `TouchTest` is fired.

OnRequiremntFailed: Fired when a marine enters the trigger but does not meet the player number requirement.

BaseTrigger
`Toggle` Toggles this trigger between enabled and disabled states. `Enable` Enable trigger `Disable` Disable trigger `TouchTest` (in all games since ) Triggers either the `OnTouching` or `OnNotTouching` outputs for whether anything is touching this entity. Bug:Sleeping prop_physics will never fire "OnTouching". Also applies to entities using prop_physics as base. (tested in: ) `StartTouch` (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if the `!caller` entity had just entered the trigger volume. Accepts non-physical entities. `EndTouch` (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if `!caller` had just exited the trigger volume. `DisableAndEndTouch` (only in ) Disables this trigger and calls `EndTouch` on all currently-touching entities.
