General information

TRIG files are stored globally in level0_Final.dat.
TRIG files were originally intended to hold the rail geometry, but the <BaseGeometry>-linked M3GM isn't used in-game; instead the trigger rail is part of the AKEV level geometry.
The XML on this page is compatible with OniSplit v0.9.61.0.

<TimeOn>	int32	Laser is on for this many frames (overridden by BINACJBOTrigger's <TimeOn> and <TimeOff> tags?)
<TimeOff>	int32	Laser is off for this many frames (overridden by BINACJBOTrigger's <TimeOn> and <TimeOff> tags?)
<StartOffset>	?	?
<AnimScale>	int32	?
<BaseGeometry>	link	M3GM instance number (#N)

3D model

The 3D model for a laser trigger is in a TRGE, linked to from the <Emitter> tag. See XML:TRGE for extraction and creation of this geometry.
