# 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!](/game-systems/triggers.md)
{% endhint %}

## 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](/the-basics/readme.md) guide.
{% endhint %}

After [settings up some triggers](/legacy/triggers/create-a-trigger.md) 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.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Unity" %}

```csharp
string triggerName = "test";
LootLockerSDKManager.ExecuteTrigger(triggerName, (response) =>
{
    if (response.success)
    {
        Debug.Log("Successfully triggered event");
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Error triggering event");
    }
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Unreal" %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

To learn more about the endpoint you can check out our reference documentation on [triggering an event](https://ref.lootlocker.io/game-api/#triggering-an-event)

#### Retrieving Previously Triggered Triggers

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Unity" %}

```csharp
LootLockerSDKManager.ListExecutedTriggers((response) =>
{
    if (response.success)
    {
        Debug.Log("Successfully retrieved triggered events");
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Error retrieving triggered events");
    }
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Unreal" %}
