    @brief
        The EventTrigger class provides a way to have a Trigger triggered by any kinds of @ref orxonox::Event "Events".

        Example:
        @code
        <EventTrigger invert="true">
            <events>
                <trigger>
                    <TriggerBase ... />
                    <EventListener ... />
                </trigger>
            </events>
        </EventTrigger>
        @endcode

    @see Trigger
        For more information on @ref orxonox::Trigger "Triggers".
