For local behaviors, attach a trigger behavior to the same sprite. For public behaviors, attach a
trigger behavior to a specific sprite.
The Parameters dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to control when the trigger
should work; what modifier keys, if any, are associated with the trigger; and to which sprite
group the trigger is assigned. (For more information about groups, see “About groups”
on page 471.)

About groups
The Parameters dialog boxes of the local and public action behaviors give you the option to assign
the behavior to a group. Groups let a single trigger initiate actions across multiple sprites. To
establish a group, select a name for the group and enter that name in the Parameters dialog box of
each behavior that you attach to the sprites in the group.
Because the triggers are sent to the group name rather than to a specific sprite number, there are
no reference changes to update when a sprite moves from one Score channel to another.
