Trap triggers
A trap object can use more than one trigger flag, it needs to be separated by a pipe. TRIGGER_PICK triggers on knock, doorbash and pick. Doorbash will check TRIGGER_PICK, then TRIGGER_UNLOCK then TRIGGER_OPEN. If two of those triggers are used it will only trigger once. So when coded into an area, the lowest level trigger should be used, ie no need to use TRIGGER_PICK and TRIGGER_UNLOCK because anything that triggers TRIGGER_PICK will also trigger TRIGGER_UNLOCK.
