Command	Description
mutate TriggerMover	Triggers the targeted mover.
mutate TriggerMover True	Triggers the targeted mover and keeps it open permanently.
mutate TriggerMover Nearest	Triggers the nearest mover to the player.
mutate TriggerMover Nearest [PlayerName]	Triggers the nearest mover to [PlayerName]. [PlayerName] can be a partial string, e.g. "sap" for "Sapphire".
mutate TriggerMover GetTag	Displays the Tag property of the targeted mover. The player is notified if the targeted actor is not a mover.
mutate TriggerMover GetTag All	Displays a comma-separated list of all mover Tag properties in the current level.
mutate TriggerMover Tag [Name]	Triggers all movers with a Tag property of [Name]. The player is notified when no matches are found.
mutate TriggerMover Tag [Name] True	Same as above, but keeps the mover open permanently.
mutate TriggerMover Reset	Quickly resets the targeted mover to its first keyframe.
mutate TriggerMover Reset [Name]	Same as above, for all movers with a Tag property of [Name].
mutate TriggerMover State	Toggles the targeted mover's InitialState property between BumpOpenTimed or StandOpenTimed, if its InitialState property is BumpOpenTimed or StandOpenTimed.
mutate TriggerMover Mute	Sets all the targeted mover's sounds to None (or restores original sounds if already muted).
mutate TriggerMover OnceOnly	Toggles the targeted mover's bTriggerOnceOnly property.
mutate TriggerMover Encroach	Toggles between CrushWhenEncroach, IgnoreWhenEncroach, and ReturnWhenEncroach encroach types.

Notes

Movers with an InitialState property of TriggerControl (a.k.a. dead man's switches) are ignored (and the player is notified when attempting to trigger one). Because these movers rely on player proximity, triggering them manually keeps them open permanently and can potentially ruin a game. An example of a TriggerControl mover is shown below in KnighTmare][:

Motivation

Many maps have movers with slow return times or mover-related obstacles at the beginning of the level. Such mapping practices often results in player frustration at having to continually re-trigger movers or wait for them to return. This is especially problematic for rushers. A few examples of well-known maps with annoying spawn room movers are shown below:
