lol, I was gonna ask what are you talking about? what language and what type of application, but I soon rememberd! THIS IS A HALF-LIFE CODING FORUM!!!! wow .. I almost forgot.
so um, yeah, I guess, what do you mean by triggering it? I really don't know what I'm talking about but I guess you would call the Use or Touch method on the entity.

Well, first of all, look at an example of a menu interface. Not sure where to find one, but there are lots of tutorials around.
The menu interface HL uses takes a user's choice, and this click becomes a subroutine. Into the subroutine, stick something like 'Find_Entity_By_Name' (examples are found in the Button code), and send it a command to trigger (also found in the Button code). Very simple.

NB: You can make an object trigger it, simply my making another entity open the menu. Really easy to do.
