Sucker Tube Trigger?

I was wondering what the "Trigger" item on Sucker Tubes does? If it is what I hope it is, I have an interesting ideas. I bet it's just a pointless modifier though. Any ideas?

From my experience of this sort of parameter in an event, I say it's probabaly just useless. Remember kids! If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your mouth OR use it in JCS!

It does nothing. I'm presuming it was meant to play some noise when you went through a sucker tube, like the "Woosh" ambient sound.

It is called "Trigger" for you?

I have "Trig Sample", and its allowable values are 0 to 7, same as "WaitTime"

Try it... see what it does! What can it hurt?

I was hoping it would trigger animations like the trigger 'on' zone, guess not.

Similar to what I was thinking, but it seems Epic is heckbent on not letting you have two events in the same tile in ANY WAY.

I have tried. It didn't trigger Samples, Text, Trigger scenery OR Rocks, so I decided it did nothing.

Well, that was what I expected. Thanks for researching it.

I tried, too, and nothing happens.

Well, if you want an animated tile to be triggered while you are going through a suck, just put a trigger zone between two sucks. If the speed is high enough (I think you need 5 min.), you'll activate the trigger and move on. You can also put items or whatever you like between suck events. Wasn't that hard, was it?

I guess everyone does, but why would you need a trigger event in a tube? YOu don't need it AT ALL, do you?

Actually, what I was thinking is that it could be a sucker tube that only exists if you hit a trigger zone. Of course, since it has values of 1 to 7, that's highly unlikely.
