Spawnable Triggers

[Ni3ls]

What is so special about this? We already were able to spawn triggers with a corresponding action? Am I missing something?

No, you aren't missing anything. All it does is some less-than clever distance checks. You can do exactly the same with a simple 2D distance check between the player and a script_origin. If it returns true, you know the player is "touching" the entity; if it returns false, you know the player isn't touching. Lots of checks on origins is completely unnecessary.

EDIT - I remember when this was first posted, a lot of us expressed the view that it was not a very efficient way to do things, but SniperFire said he wanted something which would return isTouching(). I and others told him you could do that on a trigger_radius, and he replied that he didn't know about the isTouching() function on trigger_radius, so it looked like all this work was pretty redundant anyway.
