    Is this possible and if so then how

    Ok guys, I'll try to explain as best I can as to what I'm trying to achieve.

    Basically I want a timer - let's say 5 seconds for the sake of argument.
    Every 5 seconds, a light would switch on - simultaneously, a trap would activate.
    The trap would remain activated for the 5 seconds.

    After 5 seconds, the light should switch off and the trap should also switch off for 5 seconds - basically giving you a window.

    This cycle should repeat indefinitely.

    Is this possible in Trials? If so can anyone explain how.
    I watched a lot of tutorials on the editor but I couldn't seem to find the answer to this one

    Not sure, because i haven't tried that trigger yet. But it sounds to me that it's a thing to do using the impulse trigger, or whatever it's called.

    Aye, you're correct.
    I was messing about and I'm able to get the light part to work just fine.

    However, how do I combine the Impulse Trigger with the Hit Trigger - so the hit trigger is only enabled when the impulse trigger is set to "1" - if you don't mind me using binary.

    I think you can use State Event to turn triggers on and off? I can't remember off the top of my head but that may work.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a bash and see what comes out the other end
