    /**
    @brief
        The DistanceMultiTrigger is a MultiTrigger that triggers whenever an object (that is of the specified target type) is in a specified range of the DistanceMultiTrigger. The object can be specified further by setting the <em>beaconMode</em> and attaching a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon" to the object.
        Parameters are (additional to the ones of MultiTrigger):
        - @b distance Which specifies the maximum distance at which the DistanceMultiTrigger still triggers. Default is <code>100</code>.
        - @b beaconMode Which specifies, whether the DistanceMultiTrigger operates on @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacons" or not. If <em>off</em> the DistanceMultiTrigger works as usual. If set to <em>identify</em> the DistanceMultiTrigger is only triggered by objects that have a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon", with the same name as specified in <em>targetname</em>, attached to them. If set to <em>exclude</em> the DistanceMultiTrigger is only triggered by objects that don't have a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon", with the same name as specified in <em>targetname</em>, attached to them. Default is <em>off</em>.
        - @b targetname Which specifies the name @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacons" need to have to make the DistanceMultiTrigger react to them if it is in <em>beacon-mode</em> (the beaconMode is not <em>off</em>).

        A simple DistanceMultiTrigger could look like this:
        @code
        <DistanceMultiTrigger position="0,0,0" switch="true" target="Pawn" distance="20" />
        @endcode

        An implementation that only reacts to objects with a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon" attached would look like this:
        @code
        <DistanceMultiTrigger position="0,0,0" target="Pawn" beaconMode="identify" targetname="beacon1" distance="30" />
        @endcode
        This particular DistanceMultiTrigger would only react if an object was in range, that had a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon" with the name <em>beacon1</em> attached.

    @see MultiTrigger
        For more information on @ref orxonox::MultiTrigger "MultiTriggers".
