Connecting Trigger to an Object
In order for the trigger to activate anything it needs to be connected to an object, unless you are using Display Text, Insert Image, Move Image and Remove Image, in which case a trigger area along with scrip editing described in the Script Editor section of this Wiki would be enough. If you are doing something more fancy such as activating a controller of an object then the trigger has to be connected to that object. To do this first have your objects created, then create the trigger area after which click on the trigger area and on the Tool and Toggle Buttons click the Connect Nodes selector.
