#
# Explanation:
#
#   Allows you to easily create custom triggers for events. Uses simple comment
#   code in their event page to create a new trigger. If trigger evaluates as
#   'true', their code will execute. Work differently than conditions, since the
#   page conditions must still be met and they are what actually what begin
#   execution of the event commands for that page.
#
# Instructions:
#
#   - Very simple. Make a comment at the TOP of the page you want the custom
#     trigger to execute that simply reads "Custom Trigger". Now in the same
#     comment on the next line, or in another comment directly below the first,
#     simply write the a scripted true/false statement. If this line ever results
#     in a true statement, and the page conditions are met, the page will execute
#     its commands.  
#   - You can use as many comment boxes you need to script the trigger, but they
#     must be consecutive and immediately after the "Custom Trigger" comment. Do
#     not use an arbitrary comment right after these comments, else the game will
#     attempt to include them in the trigger.
#   - This will also disable all other triggers for this page.
#
#     Here's an example:
#
#     Comment: Custom Trigger
#            : Input.press?(Input::L) && Input.press?(Input::R) &&
#            : Input.trigger?(Input::C)
#
#   This will execute the event if the C button is pressed while the L and R
#   buttons are being held down (if page conditions are met).
#
#     Another example:
#
#     Comment: Custom Trigger
#            : $game_party.steps == 23423
#
#   This executes if the party step count is equal to 23423.
