`Triggers` FAQ

Having trouble getting a trigger to work? Make sure to follow these instructions.

1. You know how to use the trigger that you're having trouble with (Otherwise, see Triggers 1).
2. Your trigger isn't accidentally Touch/Spawn Triggered, Stopped, or Toggled Off, it is set to the correct channel, has the correct order, and targets the correct Item ID/Group.
3. Your trigger's settings are modified from the default values so it can actually do something.
4. If you're using one of these triggers (Target/Direction) (ANY Area Trigger) (Proximity Modes), your Center Group ID only has one object assigned to it or has one object as a Parent Group.
5. If you're using one of these triggers to activate other triggers , you've assigned other triggers to the right groups and/or marked those triggers as Spawn Triggered.
6. If you're using one of these triggers , the additional inputs (Collision Blocks, Pickup Triggers, Item IDs, etc.) exist and are working properly. Double-check that at least one Collision block is Dynamic.

If none of these options work, please let us know.

idk try quick start ig

[remote nest]

Sorry but how do I do that

[bright void]

extra tab in particle settings

check on that box

[remote nest]

Didint work

This is a bug with the move trigger, not particles

Use advanced follow or area move to make them follow the camera instead

[remote nest]

Doesn't advanced follow, follow the player

[novel blade]

Not always

It follows whatever you tell it to follow

[remote nest]

So I add an invisible object to move it along with the camera using move trigger than advanced trigger the particle to follow the object moving with the camera

[novel blade]

No that’d still have the same issue

Use C in adv follow

It’s the bottom left corner of the screen

Alternatively this #gd-chat message

[remote nest]

Now it's in the bottom left of the screen

[novel blade]

Yeah, just like I said

[remote nest]

As in the particle.

[novel blade]

You can either offset it with a parent group or just use this

[novel blade]

I know

[remote nest]

I'll try

Uhh it's not moving

[remote nest]

Alr I have no idea how to parent group so I'll try the area move

[remote nest]

Holy shit you're a lifesaver

Thank you so much

[novel blade]

No worries

[tight oracle]

there's some strange bugs with particle spawning. i found one myself which caused off-screen particles to never generate, and UI-locked particles to not respect a toggle state

could be another niche bug here

first of all, the teleport portal at the start is not required. at the location of the orange portal, place an object with new group G. in the extra level settings, the same place you can do things like enable 2 player, set the "spawn group" field to group G.

i have a feeling that the move trigger at the start of the level is getting activated at different times in between attempts. setting a spawn group should remove the teleport at the start and hopefully make this uniform

let me know if that fixes anything. i got a second fix in mind if this doesn't work

[tight oracle]

using adv follow center in this manner will forcefully align the object to the lower left corner because center is coded wrong

this approach can cause the particle to appear wrong on different aspect ratios

[novel blade]

Yep

[tight oracle]

while it theoretically is a solution, i personally believe that the error in the video is due to trigger/camera order between events

[novel blade]

The area move method is consistent though

[tight oracle]

so would creating a consistent starting camera.
using a teleport portal at the start of the level isn't consistent as if triggers activate in an unintended order, it can create offsets

[brave onyx]

If you want to use advanced follow for the camera guide add a group id to it and click player 1 or 2 based then add the group id of the camera guide (tip check x only or y only)

[shadow burrow]

I think try putting the move trigger just right after the start line

[odd lance]

unrelated, oh god how many mods do you have installed

son

do you have every mod ever
