Grimrock

I couldn't find anywhere in the editor to specify which items activate a trigger. Is that something that must be handled using scripting?

If this is a missing feature, I'd suggest it could be a new feature for the editor which would allow the designer to set a specific item to activate a trigger. All the old editors for the old DM clones have this as a basic feature (RTC, DSB, etc.) so it seems pretty weird not to have it in the LoG editor.

Yes, it needs scripting. Basic idea is to scan the contents of the surface component and search for items with specific name or id.

For historical reasons many things in Grimrock are accomplished with scripting -- the entire dungeon in Grimrock 1 was a very large script because we did not have a level editor at all back then.

Check out the second half of part 10 of Skuggasveinn's editor tutorial videos.

Ah I see, OK thanks. Looks like I'll have to get a bit better at the whole scripting thing sooner than I thought
