 So far your level design is static. Everything is placed in the level, when it is loaded (except the spawned objects) and doesn't change its behaviour once loaded. Via the trigger/event system you can make the level react on what the player does.
-A trigger is like a button. When you activate it, something happens.
+A trigger is like a button. When you activate it an event is created. This event can change the status of objects.
+This way objects can be activated/deativated and be made visible/invisible.
