Active Zone (MultiGame Reference)

9.1.2 Active Zone

Component: ActiveZone

This component sends messages when an object enters, exits, or stays in a given trigger area. Must be attached to a collider marked ’isTrigger’. To use, ensure that this object’s collision layer collides only with objects you wish to activate it. Then, define some Messages to be sent by drag & dropping a target onto ’Message Target’ then selecting a message from the list you want to send. You can also use tags to further cull the results.
