Triggers​

Click on the 'crosshair' symbol behind "Center (map)" to move the center of the game to a selected location on the map. This ensures that the map the host and players is centered at this location when the app is opened.

A trigger or GPS location can be placed on the map by selecting a spot on the map (placing the "crosshair"), using the cursor or the search bar on the top (address/coordinates), and then selecting the 'crosshair' icon behind the trigger or GPS location in the trigger list on the left.

info

If a trigger was already placed this button will re-place it to the currently selected location.

warning

Triggers with a red exclamation mark at the end have not been placed yet.

Click on the icon of a placed GPS location trigger on the map to control the radius of the area that people need to be in to trigger the GPS location when using.

(The displayed value represents the radius of the circle in meters)

Click the 'eye' icon to see where a trigger has been placed on the map.

Click the 'bin' icon to remove the trigger from the map.

Click the 'edit' icon in front of the trigger to edit the content of the actions under this trigger for the current location (or the currently selected group).

Quick placement and drag and drop​

GPS locations can be placed one by one with the crosshair, as described above. Two extra controls sit in the header of the trigger list.

Drag & drop​

"Drag & drop" moves markers that are already on the map. Grab a marker and drop it on a new spot. The radius stays with the marker.

The button stays off until at least one GPS location is placed. Hover it to read "Place at least one GPS location first". When it is available, the hover text is "Drag locations".

Quick placement​

"Quick placement" places every GPS location that still has no coordinates, in one pass.

  • The button in the trigger-list header covers the whole rollout, including stops inside sets.
  • Per set you can also start quick placement for only the unplaced stops in that set.
  • The icon of the current location follows the cursor. Click the map to drop it there. The next unplaced location becomes current, and the list scrolls to that row.
  • "Drag & drop" turns off while quick placement is on. If it was on before, it turns back on when quick placement ends.
  • On a wide screen, "Add or manage groups" collapses to a button. Under that button the notice reads "Quick placement is active", how many locations are left to place, and a chip for where you are placing: "Rollout" for the whole list, or the set name in the colour of that set.
  • Opening "Add or manage groups" ends quick placement.

Leave the mode with Esc, with the close control on the notice, or by clicking "Quick placement" again. The left and right arrow keys skip to the previous or next unplaced location and leave the current one unplaced. Esc and the arrow keys apply when focus is outside a text field. The mode ends on its own when the last location in that scope is placed.

The route-end blank of a dynamic route is not a point you place.
