__NOTOC__
==Entity description==
Lets you trigger multiple entities, potentially with a delay before fire for each targeted entity.
 
To trigger an entity with it, you must first turn off smartedit, then add keyvalue pairs for the targets. The "key" is the [[targetname]] of the entity you want to target. The "value" is the delay in seconds before the entity is triggered after the <code>multi_manager</code> itself has been triggered. The same targetname can be targeted multiple times at different delays, however the keyvalue will become ''targetname#1'' and so on.
 
A maximum of 16 targets can exist for a single <code>multi_manager</code>.
