# Activate a trigger

{% hint style="info" %}
You are viewing legacy triggers. We've launched a new trigger system, it's much more powerful and flexible! [Check it out!](https://docs.lootlocker.com/game-systems/triggers)

## Work With Triggers in Game

{% hint style="warning" %}
The following tutorial assumes you have already set up your game and made your first API calls. To learn how to do that, visit the [Getting Started](https://docs.lootlocker.com/the-basics/readme) guide.
{% endhint %}

After [settings up some triggers](https://docs.lootlocker.com/legacy/triggers/create-a-trigger) in the console we can implement it in the game.

#### Trigger Event

Calling this in the game will award the player with any score/XP or assets we set up while create the trigger.

    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Error triggering event");
    }
});
