areatrigger_template Table¶

Defines the location, size, and shape of all area triggers. These are invisible boxes that cause effects when a player enters them. Note: Areariggers are triggered by the client; the server only verifies the player's position. To add new triggers, you must also edit AreaTrigger.dbc in the client. Rows in the DBC must be ordered by map ID; otherwise, client-side triggers may break.

Field Breakdown¶

id - Primary Key. Unique area trigger ID.
build - Primary Key. Client build version. The core loads the row with the highest build not exceeding SUPPORTED_CLIENT_BUILD.
name - Descriptive name (not used by core).
map_id - Map ID where the trigger is located. (see map_template.entry)
x, y, z - Center point of the trigger volume.
radius - For spherical triggers: radius in yards.
box_x, box_y, box_z - For box-shaped triggers: half-extents on each axis. Most often used when radius is not specified.
box_orientation - Rotation of the box (in radians).
cooldown - Time (seconds) before the trigger can fire again.
condition_id - Condition that must be met for the trigger to activate. (see conditions.condition_entry)
script_id - Script event ID.
script_name - C++ script name for custom logic. Referenced by: the other areatrigger_* tables.
