    Help a noob with a trigger question please!

    Yo!
    Okay, so here is my question...
    Rider is on fire. I have a scenario where he rides under a deck to put the flames out. I know how to do that. BUT, there is a trigger for the water and if rider misses that trigger, how do I let the rider stay on fire? Thanx in advance for any help!
    My GT on XBL is Ktulu1969. Msg me there please, since I am on there more often.

    The trigger for the water should also be the trigger for turning the flames off using the fire event. If the rider misses the trigger he would miss the fire event that turns off the flames, and still be on fire.

    Okay, I think I didn't ask that correctly...
    The trigger that turns on the water is separate from the trigger to put out the flames. If you ride too fast, you will miss the trigger to turn on the water. In that case I need the trigger for the flames to be disabled.
    Thanx again for any input!

    Ok, so use the same trigger for both. Problem solved.

    If you open up the properties for the effect event that turns the water on, at the bottom there is an option called "select event/filter".

    You can use this to pass the impulse from the same trigger along to your fire event that turns the fire off, creating a chain. There's no need for two triggers.

    Wazzup k! Dude the trigger for water send its on hit to a state event. Than in the state event select target the fire area trigger and select event filter to your water event. Now uncheck enabled in the area trigger for the fire. Now that trigger will only activate if the other is hit. Hope this helps. Just hit me up on xbl if you need more help.

    Thanx again guys!
    After a bit more tooling around I was able to figure it out. I simply placed a second trigger directly over the trig for the water, that pointed to a state event set to toggle. I then deactivated the fire trig. I will go back and set it up the way you suggest JaminBen just to make it simpler!
