Trigger: Variable changes
TriggerNo. 9127
Synopsis
Pick the type and the variable, and which change counts: “Created” or “Value changes”, with options such as “Increased”. “Increased” ignores subtractions, and “Created” only fires the first time it is received. A “while the user is in the room” variable is erased on leaving without firing this trigger.

Notes
- “Increased” does not respond to subtraction; “Created” is a separate event.
- In Trigger: Variable changes, “increased” doesn't fire when the value goes down.
- In Trigger: Variable changes, “created” only fires the first time the player receives the variable.
- A “while in room” variable is quietly deleted on leaving, without firing Trigger: Variable changes.
