# Create 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)

## Create a Trigger

In this how-to guide, we are going to create a Trigger for our game that grants XP whenever the player enters a new area in our game's world. This guide will walk you through implementing Progression in both LootLocker and in-game.

To start, let's navigate to the Triggers menu by clicking `Triggers` in the Game Systems side bar menu.

To create a new Trigger, click the `Add Trigger` button in the top right corner, and name your trigger. Since we plan to have many areas in our game world, we are going to use a naming system that is easy to expand on. This trigger will be called `zoneA_area1` as that is what the area will be called in the game editor. Once you have named your Trigger, click `Save` to save it.

Now that the Trigger has been created, I want to add an XP reward. To do that, click `Add Reward` to bring up the select Asset model. Instead of selecting an Asset as normal, I will use the `Set a Score` field to enter the XP I would like to grant to the player when the Trigger is triggered. Once you have entered the amount, click `Save Score Only` to save and continue.

You should now see the XP added as a reward.

Finally, we want to make sure that the player can only trigger this reward once by selecting `Limited` in the `Trigger Times` section, and entering `1` into the field. This will make sure that the Trigger can only be triggered once.

You have now set up a Trigger in LootLocker and are ready to implement it in-game.
