yes, its for showing what triggered on a display. Did try setting this
up as a global but found it limited (in terms, i found the xpl message
for the specific sensor being triggered, selected to make a global, you
only get 1 variable to choose from - if you choose sensor, the global
reprepresents the sensor being triggered (rather than that specfic one)
so i guess determinator would be the way to go
