2732 A trigger marker is an object that inserts an invisible force (a mark) into a
2733 player stepping on it WHEN TRIGGERED. This force does nothing except containing a
2734 &lt;key string&gt; which can be discovered by detectors or inventory
2735 checkers. It is also possible to use markers for removing marks again.
2736 <br><br>
2737 Note that the player has no possibility to "see" his own marks,
2738 except by the effect that they cause on the maps. ]]>

2741 Markers hold real cool possibilities for map-making. I encourage
2742 you to use them frequently. However there is one negative point
2743 about markers: Players don't "see" what's going on with them. It is
2744 your task, as map-creator, to make sure the player is always well
2745 informed and never confused.
2746 <br><br>
2747 Please avoid infinite markers when they aren't needed. They're
2748 using a little space in the player file after all, so if there
2749 is no real purpose, set an expire time. ]]>
