tutorial(random trigger activation) in Scripting

I am providing a script that allows activating a trigger randomly, for example:
when the game starts, any of the three available triggers can be activated, meaning after restarting the match, a different trigger might be available for activation first, the other two triggers are disabled; after the player activates the first trigger, the second trigger becomes available for activation, completely randomly, the third trigger is disabled at this time.After all triggers are activated, some action will occur, for example, the player will receive a reward.

If you use this on your map, don't forget to credit me for this script.

Do not forget to call the script in main()

level thread randomize_triggers();
