One of these additional toys is the Trigger Plate, which functions as a means to activate other toys like Thrusters, making it a great addition to players' dynamic builds. While similar toan Activator Switch, the Trigger Plate has a unique feature that sets it apart from other switches players can use.
How To Craft a Trigger Plate
The Trigger Plate is a Switch used to activate and deactivate other toys like Activated Balloons and Thrusters.
To craft a Trigger Plate, players will need1 Wood and 1 Blast Powder. For those unsurehow to get Blast Powder, it is commonly dropped by Crossbones and Outlaw Skeletons in the Shore and Dry Valley biomes. It can also be found in containers like Chests throughout the world.
Once players have the necessary resources, they can build a Trigger Plate via the Build Menu.
How To Use a Trigger Plate
As mentioned earlier, a Trigger Plate is a switch primarily used for channel control. It is similar toa Pressure Plateand can beactivated by simply standing on it. However, the Trigger Plate has one major difference: constant pressure does not need to be applied for connected toys like Thrusters or Activated Balloons to remain active.
Players canwalk over a Trigger Plate to turn its connected channels on, and they will stay on even after players move away from it. The Trigger Plate can also be turned off via the same method. This makes the Trigger Plate a more ideal version of the Pressure Plate, suitable for a variety of builds such as hot air balloons and other simple forms of transport whenpaired with Activated Balloons.
