Summary

Trigger once is a great tool to use in events. But, if you it has previously triggered, you save your game, and then load it again, it will trigger a second time. This is not as expected. You can tell this because there are multiple posts in the forums asking this same question.

Possible workarounds or alternatives

At the moment, if you are using the Save and Load system (which is awesome), the only solution is to not use Trigger once and instead use a boolean variable to track a trigger state.

Proposed solution

It would be great if this worked as expected or there could be a parameter added to Trigger Once (that lets us choose if it triggers again when loading a save.

Why is this idea important?

It would make trigger once work as expected and it would save beginning developers like me, hours of time, as we have to track down and learn about this issue the hard way.

Additional remarks

I just have add I love C3 so far and I'm a beginner, so it's possible, I don't understand the bigger picture why this works the way it does. If I am off base, I apologize, and I definitely trust you to do the right thing with your code.
