Event&Trigger Zones

Features:
- Trigger zone: Triggers the Event zones of same ID.
- Event zones: Where the Trigger Zone of same ID will have influence (where the items are switched).

Allows to do various actions:
A. Timed Event: Switch temporarily a item to then return to previous one
To trigger A. the Trigger Zone timer has to be set in the range 1-999.
B. Switch items: Makes a item switch to other item when activated (could be for example an empty block to a spike hazard, or a normal block to a sticky block, etc.).
To trigger B. the Trigger Zone timer has to be set to -1.
C. Linked Event: When the smiley stands inside the Trigger Zone, it activates the switch item event, the event will persist until the smiley leaves both Trigger and Event zone.  (To allow the smiley to keep the Event Zone active, the Trigger and Event Zone of the same ID has to be next to each other).
To trigger C. the Trigger Zone timer has to be set to 0.

▼ Settings and Details:

Settings:
- Selection: Which items are going to be switched inside the Event Zone.
- Time: The items will be switched by:
A. 1-999 range means the items will be switched for that amount of seconds then return to previous state.
B. -1 means that items will be switched until the smiley return to the Trigger Zone again.
C. 0 means that items will be switched for the while the smiley is inside the Trigger and Event Zones of the same ID.
- ID: Links the Trigger to certain Event Zones.

Details:
- Using Inspect Element tool, you can see which are the items that are switchable (could have a borderline of certain color to display wich areas are affected by this AC, also shows the ID of the inhibitor)
- While the Trigger Zone is active, the affected Event Zones will have a red border that match the type of trigger (A, B or C)
- The Trigger Zone can be seen by the player but the Event Zone is only visible for the player while these are active and/or by using the Inspect Element tool. Builders can see both Trigger Zones and Event Zones.
- In some situations the Event Zones can hold multiple items in the same block area (in case those items are already able to be stacked), for example Rails and an additional items into the rails.

Situation: In case the smiley is still into a Timed Event Zone area (A.), and time runs out, if the player gets stuck into blocks, the game should be able to detect it and do "an action" to unstuck the player (could kill the player for example)

Additional feature for A. Timed Event: Loop setting: This would allow to keep switching the items with the set time in a loop, (for this, the player would have to hit the trigger zone again to stop the loop and return to first item of the affected event zones.

The GIF below displays the 3 types of settings for the Trigger Zones and how the Event Zones with the same ID of each of those behave: Order: A, B, C
