Click on the switch so it is highlighted, click on the floor square beneath the switch, in the trigger window set trigger type as switch, press the pink button to set the trigger.

Now click on the door while it is highlighted, then click on the square beneath the switch and again click the pink trigger button.

Now place a camera near the door and with it highlighted click on the switch square and press the pink trigger button.

Now place a camera target nullmesh in front of the door and again with it highlighted click on the switch floor square and set trigger to target, then press then pink trigger button.

The bit that i often forget is to set the camera to a target trigger, if you dont the camera will try and look at Lara.

Firstly you need to click on the first camera in your sequence, then click on the square that Lara would stand on to activate the switch. Now click the pink trigger button and set the type to "switch". This will start your camera sequence off. But the problem is that if you set the switch to open the door then it would already be open by the time the camera gets there. So you need to set the camera to open the door. If you click on the door that you want opened, then click on the square directly below your last camera, (the one that is aimed at the door) then click on the pink trigger button and set the type to "heavy". Lastly you need to click on the last camera again and press "o" to bring up it's details, and click on "14" this tells the camera to activate the heavy trigger. It sounds really complicated but it's dead easy once you get it. Hope this helps.

Ok, purely because I hate to be wrong, but the trigger square is pink! If you look at the manual it even says "the pink trigger square"! It refers to the monkey swing as peach! So there! I knew we were right Colin!

Ya, It's basicly what the manual says... only in a different order. The manual says to set the trigger type and target type after youy set the trigger to the floor square. That's wrong. Because if you set the trigger type and target type after you've all ready set the trigger to the floor, theres no way the comp will understand that you've even set the trigger type. Laim huh? So set before you place, basicly.
