Using Volume Devices

Have you ever wanted to trigger specific devices or events for a whole area of your island? The Volume device is designed to help you do that. As a customizable and nestable volume, you can size and place multiple volumes that can trigger events or functions when a player, vehicle, creature, wildlife animal, or guard enters or leaves that volume.

There are lots of ways to use this device, but they work particularly well with the Fixed Point Camera, Fixed Angle Camera, and Third Person Controls devices. See Designing with Cameras and Controls for more examples for how to use this device with camera and controls devices.
