Changeset 8206 for code

Message:

Extending DistanceTrigger (both the normal and the MultiTrigger version). DistanceTriggerBeacons, can now also be used to exclude specific objects from triggering a DistanceTrigger.
Beware: The syntax for the DistanceTrigger, used with a DistanceTriggerBeacon has changed.
It was: <DistanceTrigger target="DistanceTriggerBeacon" targetname="someBeacon" />
And is now: <DistanceTrigger target="WhateverTargetYouWantYourTriggerToReactTo" beaconMode="identify" targetname="someBeacon" />
Consult the documentation in DistanceMultiTrigger for it's specific usage, the DistanceTrigger works analogously.

-        - @b targetname Which, if not left blank, causes the DistancMultiTrigger to be in <em>single-target</em> mode, meaning, that it only reacts to objects that have a @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon" (therefore the target has to be set to @ref orxonox::DistanceTriggerBeacon "DistanceTriggerBeacon" for it to work), with the name specified by <em>targetname</em>, attached.
+        - @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.
