# Add Region

Regions play an important role in maps. When a region is connected to a trigger, or the trigger activates what goes on in the region, this basically programs the whole game.

![](/files/-MFthfZuENmw2aX0js0V)

First, make the region. Now, you may notice that there are two important options in there: "Activation Trigger" and "Activation On".

Activation Trigger basically shows that whatever activates this region, will activate a trigger. For example, a player will walk into *Region 1*, which activates *Trigger 1*. In short, what trigger this region is for.

Activation On focuses on what will activate the region to activate a trigger.

<table><thead><tr><th width="111">ID</th><th width="147">Display Name</th><th>Usage</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>0</td><td>No activation</td><td>Just a plain region. Default will be this.</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>"USE" key (with button)</td><td>This is the most commonly used activation. This will show a green button with the word "USE" on it and is activated by "E". This will then activate the trigger's action.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Character not in a vehicle</td><td>This is used for activating a character that is not in a vehicle, to go in a vehicle.</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Character in a vehicle</td><td>This is used for activating a character to go out of the current vehicle they are in.</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Character</td><td>This is activated by probably either an NPC or a Player.</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>By movable</td><td>This activation is used when a movable enters the region or passes by the region. An example: An elevator (Movable 1) passes by Region 1, which then activates Trigger 1. (Note: The region does not need to be the same size as the movable)</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Player</td><td>This activation works when a player walks into the region, which then activates the trigger.</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Containing all single-player heroes</td><td>Only activates the trigger when all allies are in same region.</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>"USE" key (without button)</td><td>This is used mainly for secrets and easter eggs in a map, especially in SAW/Escape maps. This activation usually activates a trigger with a special cause.</td></tr><tr><td><p>9(red)</p><p>10(blue)</p></td><td>"USE" key, only Red/Blue team (with button)</td><td>With new game plays coming in the future, or if you just want your map being a TDM, these buttons are only activated by their respective team players. However, if these are used in a deathmatch map, any player can activate them (although the "USE" on the button doesn't disappear).</td></tr><tr><td><p>11(red)</p><p>12(blue)</p></td><td>"USE" key, only Red/Blue team (without button)</td><td>Same as "USE" key (without button), but only for their respective team players. Rarely used.</td></tr><tr><td><p>13(red)</p><p>14(blue)</p></td><td>Red/Blue team Player</td><td>Only Red/Blue players can walk into a specific region and activate its trigger. Commonly seen in "Five Nights at Freddy's" themed maps.</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>"USE" key, without sound (without button)</td><td>Mostly used in doors decors. Combined with silent teleport trigger action type.</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>projectiles/<br>swords</td><td>Activates the trigger when there's any projectiles or player swinging his sword inside the region.</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>Actors only</td><td>This activation works when an actor walks into the region, which then activates the trigger.</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>Actors, not allied to player</td><td>This activation works when an actor (enemy) walks into the region, which then activates the trigger.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://eaglepb2.gitbook.io/pb2-editor-manual/tools/add-region.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
