To clear things up, this trigger pack is a time saver for multiplayer maps. It does not actually complete a new function or something that you were not able to do before. However this is a bit more important than you might think. In a nutshell, it uses special QV's (that for the most part you don't need to worry about) and uses them to merge what might take up to 12 triggers, and stuffs them into 1. The more players you have, the more it will help.
Another benefit of this pack is that it will probablly reduce lag. For most setups which would require this sort of thing, you would need (for 4 players) 4 seperate triggers. In most cases, only one would be fired and the rest of them would go on unfired and causing lag.
There is only one real downside to this pack and that is that it is useful only in multiplayer maps, and more specifically the big ones that often go unfinished. For your average escape, defend, survival, whatever game one might be best off avoiding learning these new tricks unless you plan for a 6+ player map. However don't be fooled by the difficult looking setup, its not nearly that bad.
Additional Comments:
If anyone wants to try and make a two trigger map, that would be pretty darn cool :D |

-------------------------------------
If someone is planning a map with 2 triggers
-------------------------------------
I'm planning a simple map to use as example of this pack, it will have 1 or 2 triggers but will have a real gameplay :P.
Unluckly I couldn't use since I started Minigames Y, but I used them once for debug one thing. |

These custom triggers are really awesome, they are kinda like nottuds shop triggers but they serve many purposes.
You could spend hours just thinking of how to do something for say 10 players trying not to use so many triggers and effects, and even when you do finaly complete it it might have a bug or something you left out and you gotta edit all the triggers again which could take another hour or so.
But with these triggers you could easily do something that could require 100 triggers in just 1 trigger that can be done in about 2 minutes. Although these triggers are really awesome I recon there should be a better guide or a few more guides you could make just to do something many people might wanna do like an inventory or banking system for an rpg.
Also it helps alot with making maps smaller, less triggers= less KBs= less loading time= less lag = happy map desighner :)

It would be really cool if you master them, I will help you everytime you ask in the thread! ;)
P.S. If you ever had a look to the example scenario, it has only a trigger :o! |
