general information

• The xml code on this page is based on onisplit v0.9.61.0
• BINACJBOTrigger.oni is level specific. (It can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/levelX_Final.dat)
• Extract this file if an update on xml tags is needed.

file structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>

[...] means at least one trigger. Paste all trigger data into there (this includes <TRIG Id="..."> and </TRIG> tag).

tags

tag	type	description
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>	float, flag	Don't change this.
<Oni>	-
<TRIG Id="...">	integer	You can also use <TRIG> without the id parameter.
<Header>	-
<Flags>		Used in the past.
<Position>	float x3	trigger is spawned at this xyz-position
float x3	<Rotation>	trigger has this xyz-rotation (in degrees)
<OSD>	-
<Class>	char[63]	TRIGfile.oni This is a link to TRIG (trigger class), which holds the M3GM of the rail and links to TREG (laser emitter class) and OBAN (animation of the emitters)). original classes: trigger_arc trigger_circle trigger_evilbrain trigger_long trigger_long4x trigger_long4xzag trigger_rectangle trigger_sb3A trigger_sb3B trigger_short
<TriggerId>	int16	Used by BSL commands. Is it possible to use the same id for different triggers?
<Flags>	flags	InitialActive ReverseAnim PingPong
<LaserColor>	color	R G B range, e.g. <LaserColor>255 0 77</LaserColor>
<StartPosition>	float	start position of the trigger in the rail; range from 0 (bottom) to 1 (top) in connection to the spawn point of the trigger (spawn point = bottom)
<Speed>	float	This is one for two multiplier. The second multiplier can be accessed via BSL command trig_speed id speed. total_speed = OBAN_speed * multiplier_in_file * multiplier_BSL So if one of the multiplier is set to 0, the trigger will stop moving.
<EmitterCount>	int16	Number of emitter to spawn on the rail?
<TimeOn>	int16	laser is emitting its beam for X frames
<TimeOff>	int16	laser is not emitting its beam for X frames
<Events>	-	in16 array. You can use multiple events.
<Script Function="call_this_BSL_function" />	char[32]	Name of BSL function. For example if you use "call_this_BSL_function" here then write in BSL file: func call_this_BSL_function { dmsg "hi" }
<ActivateTurret TargetId="Id" />	int16
<DeactivateTurret TargetId="Id" />	int16
<ActivateConsole TargetId="Id" />	int16
<DeactivateConsole TargetId="Id" />	int16
<ActivateAlarm TargetId="Id" />	int16
<DeactivateAlaram TargetId="Id" />	int16
<ActivateTrigger TargetId="Id" />	int16
<DeactivateTrigger TargetId="Id" />	int16
<LockDoor TargetId="Id" />	int16

laser movements

The hardest part in setting up triggers was pointing them in the correct direction. After much testing here are the Rotation numbers for each direction. - EdT

Laser Direction 0
<Rotation>0 90 0</Rotation> Moves left of position
<Rotation>180 90 0</Rotation> Moves right of position
<Rotation>270 90 0</Rotation>Moves above position
<Rotation>90 90 0</Rotation> Moves below position

Laser Direction 90
<Rotation>0 180 0</Rotation> Moves left of position
<Rotation>180 180 0</Rotation> Moves right of position
<Rotation>270 180 0</Rotation>Moves above position
<Rotation>90 180 0</Rotation> Moves below position

Laser Direction 180
<Rotation>0 270 0</Rotation> Moves left of position
<Rotation>180 270 0</Rotation> Moves right of position
<Rotation>270 270 0</Rotation>Moves above position
<Rotation>90 270 0</Rotation> Moves below position

Laser Direction 270
<Rotation>0 0 0</Rotation> Moves left of position
<Rotation>180 0 0</Rotation> Moves right of position
<Rotation>270 0 0</Rotation>Moves above position
<Rotation>90 0 0</Rotation> Moves below position
