Trigger that detects any object

[aseliot 2]

I thought I did this somewhere before but nothing i've tried so far has worked.
I wanted to make a trigger that detects objects in it, just anything and then checks it for something. But I can't get the basic thing to work...

trigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", (getPos player)];
trigger setTriggerArea [300, 300, 0, false];
trigger setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
trigger setTriggerStatements ["true", "systemChat format['%1',this];", ""];
trigger attachTo [player];

I've tried STATIC, ANY, LOGIC. But it doesn't do anything.

Try thisList instead of this in systemchat format.

At least that does something, but it only prints the player.

Might have something to do with the triggerActivation setting.

I've gone from using a trigger to just using nearestObjects in a loop.
