Point Entity

The multisource acts as an AND gate. It only triggers its targets if all entities targeting it are in the 'on' state. It can also be used as a master (instead of actively tiggering something when the conditions are met, events using it as a master will only be able to function when the conditions are met).

Attributes

Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
Target (target) - When an entity is activated, it triggers the entity with the name specified by Target.
Global State Master (globalname) - This is the Name of the global variable (set by an env_global) that can be used to control the state of the multisource.

Notes

Note that all clients need to be 'active' at the same time in order for the multisource state to be 'on'. If you have two buttons targeting a multisource, pressing both will make the multisource active, until either one resets (pops back).

In a nutshell:

Master properties expect a multisource name. A multisource acts as an on/off switch that you trigger to toggle your entity. If two entities target the multisource, both must be active at the same time for the multisource to work. (e.g.: two buttons).
