Good stuff. If I could make a request, can you break down the basic workings of the trigger system, including any quirks or tips you have gleamed from your experience with it?

That would be very helpful.

Anything in particular? The readme covers some basics but is somewhat lacking. Maybe I will expand on the readme.

Just basic stuff. Maybe layout a new, simplistic map and walk through the steps you took making it work.

I REALLY liked the tutorial that was written with how to make the lights flicker. Things like that I would never figure out on my own. With your knowledge and experience you can give me ideas I wouldn't even think of high.

Yeah. If it weren't for JJ I'd still be figuring out how to activate an exit grid.

Most of the tutorials like the flashing lights were from other people like Max-Violence. I compiled many of them from the map-making forums here so they would all be in one place. So a big props to many of the people who have given great answers over the years to many important problems.

Oh, you.

Always crediting other people. Never accepting the love of the proletariate that worships him.

Still, besides Req I don't see tons of people still supporting Tactics, so you're our only hope JJ. :chick:
