Add one in the level editor, name it, use its ::onEnter method in script. There should be pretty good docs on it if you click on help from the level editor.

well this is my snippit:

function TriggerClass :: onLevelLoaded(%this)
{
$Trigger = %this;

}

function TriggerClass :: onEnter(%this, %object)
{
echo("trigger has been entered");
$Platform.updateTriggerEnter();
}

function TriggerClass :: onLeave(%this, %object)
{
echo("trigger has been exited");
$Platform.updateTriggerExit();
}


and even when my charactr enters the trigger, it doesnt display anything in the console. what am i doing wrong?
