On Timer
Interval (Seconds) Defines the length of time in seconds between timer
triggering.
Regularity Specifies the event frequency. Choose from:
■ Once After - an event happens once only. Use this option to create an
event that starts after a certain length of time.
■ Continuous - an event is continuously repeated at specified time intervals.
You can use this, for example, to simulate cyclic work of a factory machine.

■ Key Up - an event is triggered after you press and release the key.
■ Key Down - an event is triggered as soon as you press the key down.
■ Key Pressed - an event is triggered while the key is pressed. This option
allows you to use a key press event together with Boolean operators. For
example, you can AND this event to a timer event.

to define the collision objects:
■ Clear - clears your currently selected collision objects.

as collision objects.
Include the Effects of Gravity Check this check box if you want to include
gravity in collision. If this option is used, hitting floor when walking across
it, for example, will trigger your event.
