Trigger Volumes

SF includes a collection of "Trigger Volume" actors that interacts with some of SF's systems. These triggers are intended to be used when you'd want specific things to be given or added to the player, or actions such as dialogue to trigger when the player walks through a specific area throughout your level. These triggers are also a great way to quickly make use of SF systems.

These trigger volume actors are found in the content directory StoryFramework > Core > Example > Level > LevelActors > Triggers .
