# Triggers

Triggers can be used in scripts to control what plays on a display.

## Create a Trigger

1. Navigate to 'Admin' in the left menu:![Admin_menu](https://cdn.document360.io/b18b81f9-f0ab-453e-8933-1b71091f98f7/Images/Documentation/Admin_menu.PNG?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T22%3A42%3A59Z&se=2026-11-12T23%3A42%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=N85PGkH4xnWlPhRTE4cQW5AuJ9k09kM1whm%2BGwgy%2FZU%3D)🔎︎
2. Under 'Triggers', click 'Create'.
3. Enter a name for the trigger.
4. Select the trigger type:
  1. Default - Stays active until explicitly cleared.
  2. OneShot - Triggers a scenario once, then deactivates automatically.
  3. Shared - Syncs across all players in the same sync group.
5. Click 'Create'.
6. A trigger can be referenced in a script by the name or Id:

## Call a Trigger from a Script

Use methods from the Dise library to call a trigger:

#### DISEScript.GetTrigger(string name)

Queries the playback engine for a trigger with the given name and returns its value as a boolean value.

#### DISEScript.SetTrigger(string name, boolean value)

Sets a trigger in the portal with the name provided.

#### DISEScript.ToggleTrigger(string name)

Sets the trigger in the portal, setting its value to true if it is already false, and to false if it is true.
