Fire an entity output

--     https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dota_2_Workshop_Tools/Scripting/Simple_Trigger_that_calls_Lua
 
-- Find our trigger.
local my_trigger = Entities:FindByName(nil, "my_trigger")
 
-- Grab an entity for use as activator. This is just an example;
-- any entity will do.
local hero = PlayerResource:GetPlayer(0):GetAssignedHero()
 
-- After a delay of 5 seconds the trigger's OnStartTouch output will
-- be fired with the hero as the activator and the trigger itself as
-- the caller
my_trigger:FireOutput("OnStartTouch", hero, my_trigger, nil, 5)
