triggers/ timeout or countdown

[Tankbuster]

Chaps,
I wonder if someone might clear up a little confusion for me.
I want to have a trigger that on sets off only once the unit has been inside it for 2 seconds. If he leaves the trigger area before the 2 seconds is up, I don't want the trigger to set off. I can't decide if it should be a timeout or countdown trigger?
The biki entry is confusing to me.
All help gratefully accepted.

I've always thought the below was a great explanation.

posted by bedges at OFPEC:

countdown delays the reaction of a trigger for a certain length of time, determined by the min, max and mid values. thus if the triggering unit walks into the area then leaves, the trigger will fire after the countdown is complete, regardless of whether the triggering unit is present or not.

timeout requires that the condition of the trigger must be met for a certain length of time, determined by the min, max and mid values. thus if the triggering unit walks into the area then leaves before the timeout is complete, the trigger will not fire.

So, I think timeout is your choice.

Ah yes, that's excellent, many thanks.
I'm going to update the biki with that info.
