## Triggers and entity finders
Some cases call for some really complicated trigger logic when it comes to finding a certain entity/number of entities under specific criteria.
Mapbase adds two new entities designed to find other entities:
* `point_entity_finder` - An entity designed by Valve and introduced in Left 4 Dead designed to find a single entity in a level, using a filter and a variety of search methods with a reference entity (e.g. nearest to the reference entity). It was ported to Mapbase via the Alien Swarm SDK.
* `point_advanced_finder` - An entity unique to Mapbase which performs more complicated and advanced finding functions or criteria compared to `point_entity_finder`, including a specific number of entities, a delay in between outputs fired, etc.
Both of these entities have their own benefits and limitations.
