# Archipelago Triggers Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide details the use of the Archipelago YAML trigger system. This guide is intended for a more advanced user with
|
||||
more in-depth knowledge of Archipelago YAML options as well as experience editing YAML files. This guide should take
|
||||
about 5 minutes to read.
|
||||
|
||||
## What are triggers?
|
||||
|
||||
Triggers allow you to customize your game settings by allowing you to define one or many options which only occur under
|
||||
specific conditions. These are essentially "if, then" statements for options in your game. A good example of what you
|
||||
can do with triggers is the custom mercenary mode YAML that was created using entirely triggers and plando.
|
||||
|
||||
Mercenary mode
|
||||
YAML: [Mercenary Mode YAML on GitHub](https://github.com/alwaysintreble/Archipelago-yaml-dump/blob/main/Snippets/Mercenary%20Mode%20Snippet.yaml)
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on plando you can reference the general plando guide or the Link to the Past plando guide.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Trigger use
|
||||
|
||||
Triggers may be defined in either the root or in the relevant game sections. Generally, The best place to do this is the
|
||||
bottom of the yaml for clear organization.
|
||||
|
||||
- Triggers comprise the trigger section and then each trigger must have an `option_category`, `option_name`, and
|
||||
`option_result` from which it will react to and then an `options` section for the definition of what will happen.
|
||||
- `option_category` is the defining section from which the option is defined in.
|
||||
- Example: `A Link to the Past`
|
||||
- This is the root category the option is located in. If the option you're triggering off of is in root then you
|
||||
would use `null`, otherwise this is the game for which you want this option trigger to activate.
|
||||
- `option_name` is the option setting from which the triggered choice is going to react to.
|
||||
- Example: `shop_item_slots`
|
||||
- This can be any option from any category defined in the yaml file in either root or a game section.
|
||||
- `option_result` is the result of this option setting from which you would like to react.
|
||||
- Example: `15`
|
||||
- Each trigger must be used for exactly one option result. If you would like the same thing to occur with multiple
|
||||
results you would need multiple triggers for this.
|
||||
- `options` is where you define what will happen when this is detected. This can be something as simple as ensuring
|
||||
another option also gets selected or placing an item in a certain location. It is possible to have multiple things
|
||||
happen in this section.
|
||||
- Example:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
A Link to the Past:
|
||||
start_inventory:
|
||||
Rupees (300): 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This format must be:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
root option:
|
||||
option to change:
|
||||
desired result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
The above examples all together will end up looking like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
triggers:
|
||||
- option_category: A Link to the Past
|
||||
option_name: shop_item_slots
|
||||
option_result: 15
|
||||
options:
|
||||
A Link to the Past:
|
||||
start_inventory:
|
||||
Rupees(300): 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For this example if the generator happens to roll 15 shuffled in shop item slots for your game you'll be granted 600
|
||||
rupees at the beginning. These can also be used to change other options.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
triggers:
|
||||
- option_category: Timespinner
|
||||
option_name: SpecificKeycards
|
||||
option_result: true
|
||||
options:
|
||||
Timespinner:
|
||||
Inverted: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this example if your world happens to roll SpecificKeycards then your game will also start in inverted.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to use imaginary names in options to trigger specific settings. You can use these made up names in
|
||||
either your main options or to trigger from another trigger. Currently, this is the only way to trigger on "setting 1
|
||||
AND setting 2".
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
triggers:
|
||||
- option_category: Secret of Evermore
|
||||
option_name: doggomizer
|
||||
option_result: pupdunk
|
||||
options:
|
||||
Secret of Evermore:
|
||||
difficulty:
|
||||
normal: 50
|
||||
pupdunk_hard: 25
|
||||
pupdunk_mystery: 25
|
||||
exp_modifier:
|
||||
150: 50
|
||||
200: 50
|
||||
- option_category: Secret of Evermore
|
||||
option_name: difficulty
|
||||
option_result: pupdunk_hard
|
||||
options:
|
||||
Secret of Evermore:
|
||||
fix_wings_glitch: false
|
||||
difficulty: hard
|
||||
- option_category: Secret of Evermore
|
||||
option_name: difficulty
|
||||
option_result: pupdunk_mystery
|
||||
options:
|
||||
Secret of Evermore:
|
||||
fix_wings_glitch: false
|
||||
difficulty: mystery
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this example (thanks to @Black-Sliver) if the `pupdunk` option is rolled then the difficulty values will be rolled
|
||||
again using the new options `normal`, `pupdunk_hard`, and `pupdunk_mystery`, and the exp modifier will be rerolled using
|
||||
new weights for 150 and 200. This allows for two more triggers that will only be used for the new `pupdunk_hard`
|
||||
and `pupdunk_mystery` options so that they will only be triggered on "pupdunk AND hard/mystery".
