Summary	0005319: Trigger_multiple stops working if AI stops moving
Description	As discovered by VanishedOne (https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20475-dragofers-scripting/), trigger_multiple brushes only get activated by moving AIs. When an AI walks through a trigger_multiple brush, the trigger_multiple brush regularly triggers its targets. If the AI stops inside the brush, the trigger_multiple stops triggering. This is different for the player: for the player, it doesn't matter whether he's moving, the trigger_multiple always works.
Steps To Reproduce	I've attached a test FM (map name: test.map) with the player and a neutral AI standing on 2 different boats. The AI walks into a trigger_multiple brush, activating a presence lamp. When he waits (path_wait), the lamp switches off. When he starts moving out of the trigger_multiple brush, the lamp switches on again until he's left the brush.
Additional Information	The current implementation of my Lost-City style presence lamps (see linked thread) relies on trigger_multiple brushes, so currently they don't work with AIs.
Tags	No tags attached.

Any of these values for "classname": "trigger_entityname", "trigger_facing", "trigger_multiple", "trigger_presize" + "anyTouch" "1" Any of these values for "classname" might also be interesting on their own, regardless of combination: "trigger_inactivity", "trigger_random"

Dragofer 02.01.2021 20:50 developer ~0013349	Thanks, though there are also variants of trigger_multiple (see previous post) that would be good to check for since they may share code.
