Eli Extra Trigger - Extra action button to activate events!

[Eliaquim]

Author: Hakuen Studio​

Introduction

There are 3 ways for a player to activate an event:
• Event touch
• Player touch
• Action button

If by chance you want the player to activate the event in another way, you would normally have to create a parallel event with the condition:
if (Input.isTriggered ('button name')) // Executes commands.
This plugin gives you the possibility to activate events with another/extra action buttons!
Thus, you can create interesting systems without the need for script calls, complex events full of conditions, or parallel ones.

Features

• Creates extra action buttons to trigger events!
• It gives the option to remove the event behavior from looking at the player when activated with the extra button.
• Three types of action buttons: Normal(FREE), By Distance(FREE), and Remote(PRO)!
• Can create more than one button for each type(PRO)
• Remote buttons can also be activated by mouse/touch(PRO)!
• Show icons above the event head that represents the extra action buttons(PRO)!
• Multiple remote event selections(PRO)

Hi, Eliaquim. Amazing plugin! I have a question. It could be possible to have more than one alternative trigger button?

Hi!
By default, not. But a way for doing this would be making a copy of the plugin file, set it to a different name, like:
EliMZ_ExtraTrigger_2.js

And inside plugin also change the global object reference to another name.
I don't have the time to do it now, but I can do it for you if you don't make it.

Thanks for your answer, Eliaquim. Very kind. I also thought of this solution. I think I can do it myself, but if I have any questions I will not hesitate to ask you. Thank you. I was just wondering if it was possible to put several extra custom buttons in the same plugin. But if not, there is no problem. I'll take the long way then. Thank you again. Have a nice day.

Great plugin! Thank you! Is it possible to have a left or right mouse click as button in the selectable list?

Version 5.0.1 - 02/11/2022

• Fixed a tricky bug where the event was acting like it was activating when you press an extra button, even if they have their page blank, without any commands. This also results in minor performance improvements.
• Removed a useless console log.
