door types like, if you want a door to open after 5 seconds then you put -5 in timer, after lara stepped off of the trigger the door timer will start to count from -5 > 0

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

and ofcourse for letting a door open for 5 sec

5 4 3 2 1 0

Hope it will work

Create a new room which is somewhere in the whole 2d map, create a slope with rolling ball. Now if you make the slope for a certain lenght like about 5 sec, then put a rolling ball and a heavy trigger for the cd, then put the trigger for the rolling ball in the real level.

You wont see or hear the ball cause its in a other room, and for about 5sec it will take the rolling ball to get to the heavy trigger and this will trigger the cd track

Expirimental but i think it will work

I use plenty of these unorthodox triggers in my levels. Whenever you cannot figger out how to manage a certain trigger sequence, use the rolling balls.

In combination with raising blocks on the slope, you can delay, deactivate, reactivate, apply "AND" "OR" "NOT" functions on triggers.

In one of my levels "Energy Core" the core goes critical. You have to shut him down in 1 minute or Lara dies.

When core goes critical, the rolling ball is triggered. At the same time a raising block is raised on the slope (timed trigger). The ball is halted by the block. After one minute it lowers, the ball rolls further and boom (death triggers,flipmaps,...) unless you shut down the core. In such case I trigger an extra raising block on the slope. So that the balls never gets below and Lara survives.

Another trick is the continious flipping of a room. By making a two sided slope, the rolling ball will keep rolling from one top to the other. By putting an flipmap and a flipoff on the tops, the flipmap will start "flipping" forever. This is great when you want to make alert scene with the room lighting flipping between red and white.

Using these combinations of roling balls & rasing blocks your trigger possibilities are enormous.
