I was just braining around and came into a thought of a good easteregg... Would it be possible to have a trigger; trigger something, only if that special item (like a cube) touches it? and no other than that cube can trigger it?

or a logic? Which says: IfCube; Trigger; etc...

Use a filter_activator_class or filter_activator_name

Specify an entity or name of entity to the filter
Then put the name of the filter to the trigger
You also have the option to disallow or allow the entity to pass through

I was thinking about making a rubix cube a while ago and thought of using triggers, filters, and parenting as well.

Let's say you're using a filter_activator_name and the thing you want to activate the event has the targetname potato. Put that targetname in the filter name keyvalue of the filter, which for the purpose of this explanation will be named filter1. Set up a trigger_multiple like this: OnStartTouch - filter1 - TestActivator. Then you can use the filter's OnPass and OnFail outputs as you like.

With the trigger's OnEndTouch, OnEndTouchAll, and OnStartTouch, I think only the filtered entities will activate the trigger in the first place, which means you don't have to send any outputs to the filter for those. If you do that, just make sure you have the filter name specified in the trigger's keyvalues.

You wanted to create a rubiks cube and you can't even spell it correctly? :O (insert surprise here).
