'''To Make This Script Work'''

Select an existing object in your cell

Click on the Trigger Volume button, the box with a T inside of it.

* A orange box should appear around the object you selected.

* Now edit the new orange box you created and add the script above.

* Then go in-game and walk into the space where this invisible box is.

'''Uses:'''

* Create events that depend on player positioning

* You could eliminate the player if statement above and have other actors like draugr or companions activate things as well

* Non-player triggers can be used by changing the == to a != in the script above, to do things to other actors like restoring their health or moving them around (but not affecting player if player walks through the trigger)
