Triggers

Triggers are special collision shapes that detect when other objects enter or exit their area without physically blocking movement. Any rigid actor can be made a trigger by setting its Trigger property in the editor’s property grid or programmatically. They’re commonly used for:

• Detecting when a player enters a specific zone
• Activating events when objects pass through an area
• Creating invisible boundaries or checkpoints
• Implementing pickup detection for items

When an object enters or exits a trigger, the onTrigger function is called with the entity that triggered the event and a boolean indicating whether contact was lost.

function onTrigger(entity, touch_lost)
	LumixAPI.logError("trigger")
	LumixAPI.logError(entity.name)
end
