Revision as of 16:56, 15 March 2023 by Outerbeast (talk | contribs) (Advanced Trigger Filtering Guide)
Advanced trigger filtering was introduced in Sven Co-op 4.5. It allows entities to enforce requirements on their target's and caller's targetnames and/or classes in order to receive triggering. Trigger filtering only operates on the direct triggering system. For example, you cannot use this to exclude a player with a specific targetname from triggering a trigger_multiple by walking into it; you'd need to use a trigger_condition entity for that instead.
Trigger Filtering-keyvalues
The following keyvalues can be set on entities to enable trigger filtering. Note that although this works for all entities, not all entities have these keyvalues; this was done to prevent bloat.
- "Name Out Filter Type",
toutfiltertype
: Set whether to forbid or require certain targetname(s) on the target entities. (0 = Forbid/Exclude; 1 = Require/Include) - "Name Out Filter",
toutfilter
: Semicolon-seperated list of targetnames to either be forbidden or required on targeted entities; can also specify only one. - "Class Out Filter Type",
coutfiltertype
: Set whether to forbid or require certain classname(s) on the target entities. (0 = Forbid/Exclude; 1 = Require/Include) - "Class Out Filter",
coutfilter
: Semicolon-seperated list of classnames to either be forbidden or required on targeted entities; can also specify only one. - "Name In Filter Type",
tinfiltertype
: Set whether to forbid or require certain targetname(s) on the entity which tries to trigger me in order to accept triggering. (0 = Forbid/Exclude; 1 = Require/Include) - "Name In Filter",
tinfilter
: Semicolon-seperated list of targetnames to either be forbidden or required on the caller-entity; can also specify only one. - "Class In Filter Type",
cinfiltertype
: Set whether to forbid or require certain classname(s) on the entity which tries to trigger me in order to accept triggering. (0 = Forbid/Exclude; 1 = Require/Include) - "Class In Filter",
cinfilter
: Semicolon-seperated list of classnames to either be forbidden or required on the caller-entity; can also specify only one.
Indeed, targetname out-filtering is trivial, since you know by what name you're targeting.
