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.

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

tags

• <Flags> : unknown
• <Position> : (trigger is spawned at this xyz-position)
• <Rotation> : (trigger has xyz-rotation (in degrees))
• <Class>

trigger_arc

trigger_circle

trigger_evilbrain

trigger_long

trigger_long4x

trigger_long4xzag

trigger_rectangle

trigger_sb3A

trigger_sb3B

trigger_short

(link by name to the TRIG instance (trigger class), which holds the M3GM of the rail and links to TREG (laser emitter class) and OBAN (animation of the emitters))

(Screenshot of each would be good.)

• <TriggerId> : (used by BSL commands)
• <Flags>

4 (active?, hex: 4)

InitialActive (hex: 8)

ReverseAnim (hex: 10)

PingPong (hex: 20)

64 (unknown, hex: 40)

128 (unknown, hex: 80)

• <LaserColor> : (RGB range, e.g. <LaserColor>255 0 77</LaserColor>)
• <StartPosition> : (float value; 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> : (multiplicator, float value; e.g. 0 = no speed; 1.5 = 150% OBAN speed)
• <EmitterCount> : (number of laser emitters in one trigger rail)
• <Offset_0075> : (laser is on for a number of frames you set here)
• <Offset_0077> : (laser is off for a nubmer of frames you set here)

(example: when you set 360 (at offset 0x75) and 120 (at offset 0x77) then the laser gets disabled after 6 seconds for 2 seconds, then loops; note that the laser will be off all if you set 0x75 to 0 and 0x77 to a number bigger than 0)

• <Events>

(You can have more than one and different event types at same time.)

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
