Creating Trigger Zones

To switch cameras when the helicopter enters or leaves the landing zone, you need to create trigger zones.

Trigger zones detect when an actor enters or exits from a zone.

In the following example, you will create two trigger zones: one for the landing area and another for the takeoff area.

  1. To create a trigger zone for the takeoff area, do the following:
    1. From the Assemble section of the action bar, click Create Cube Trigger Zone .
    2. Define the zone where the helicopter needs to takeoff.
    3. Right-click the trigger zone, click Rename and then enter TriggerZoneTakeOff.
  2. To create a trigger zone for the landing point, do the following:
    1. From the Assemble section of the action bar, click Create Cube Trigger Zone .
    2. Define the zone where the helicopter needs to land.
    3. Right-click the trigger zone, click Rename and then enter TriggerZoneLanding.
