Trigger on screen text

[oik]

Hello,i got a problum with a trigger thats suppose to show text on the screen when you walk through it,but the problum is that it shows text every time I walk through it,I only want it to show text the first time I walk through it.

trigger_once ?

Well, that would depend on your current entity setup and the game for which you're mapping.

Using a trigger_once instead of whatever you've got now is probably ideal for Goldsource/HL1 mapping, though setting a trigger_multiple's delay to -1 would do just as well.

For Source/HL2, stick with whatever trigger you've got, but either mark the output to fire once only (there's a checkbox on the Outputs tab), or use the OnTrigger output (trigger_multiple only) and set the delay before reset to -1.

NPCs might have an OnUsed or OnPlayerUse output that you could employ.
