Overview[]
The trigger will be evaluated while a map is being set up, before Continue is clicked.
IMPORTANT: PCs have not been loaded at this point!
This is a great place to make changes like moving/deleting props, spawning/killing NPCs, or enabling/disabling triggers. By doing as much work as possible here instead of in On Map Start, you can minimize the delay between when the player presses Continue and when they can start actually playing the scene.
Note that spawning actors via this trigger will not always behave the same as having them spawn normally via their map spawner. In particular, actor animations and wander commands won't work for freshly-spawned actors. Because of this, you might want to spawn actors by default and then conditionally kill them in this trigger, rather than conditionally spawn them in this trigger.
