Trigger remove

Template:Base brush It is a trigger volume that removes any entities that touch it.

Warning:Removing some entities can cause instability.

This is not the same as killing entities; i.e. NPCs removed in this manner will not fire their OnKilled outputs.

In code, it is represented by theCTriggerRemoveclass, defined in thetriggers.cppfile.

Inputs

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.

Outputs

• {| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background:initial;float:no;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:0;padding-right:0.5em;border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.1); border-left:solid 1px #8bb9e0; padding-left:1em;"

|+ style="text-align:left; white-space:nowrap; font-weight:bold; color:#ddd; " | 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.

|}

• OnRemove

Fired whenever an entity is removed.
