TriggerFirst

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I always found the key/value triggerFirst for triggers very handy in SP. It is 
simply a condition where this trigger doesn't fire until the trigger specified 
in the key/value pair has been tripped.

This behavior can already be implemented using target_logic or target_disable 
(depending on exactly what behavior you're looking for). A triggerfirst key 
would be a shorthand way of getting such a setup (the target_disable variant).

Yeah, and I'm using target_variable to do this.  Or maybe not quite what you're 
doing.  But I needed a way to trigger ANYTHING "once", but I also needed a way 
to reset it so that it can be triggered "once" again for if the player dies and 
starts at the beginning of map again.  For my func_plat.

Anyways, you basically have a target_relay point to both your entity(your thing 
to be triggered), and a target_variable(which uses spawnflags: condition check 
if not match key/value ("triggered" != 1)).  Then, that target_variable then 
targets a target_variable(set key/value triggered = 1) that would set the 
trigger variable value to 1.
