SAMPLE OBJECTS - LEVERS AND BUTTONS

You need to set the trigger condition in value0 of the lever or button. There can be more than one trigger condition on an object and it needs to be seperated by a pipe | . Some triggers require the presence of TRIG_DOOR to work, and possibly the directional trigger. All triggers start out in the down position by default. This can be changed with the use of TRIG_UP. The lever below transports everyone in the room to room number 96 in the area after someone pushes or pulls it.

The chain below (which is type lever) will open up a passage when pushed or pulled. Value1 is the vnum of the room where the passage will open from. Value2 is the vnum of the room where it will connect to. Notice that all of the trigger flags are needed to make this lever work. Also note that TRIG_AUTORETURN is needed to make sure that you do not push the chain.
