Channels
When one device needs to "talk" to another device, it does so by transmitting a signal on a specific channel . The receiving device needs to be set up to receive the signal on the same channel.
A channel is identified by a number, and channel numbers are customized for a device under the option that uses the channel. Most devices will also pass the identity of the player who triggered the device with the signal.
This device has receivers that perform a variety of functions when receiving a signal over a channel. Also, this device can transmit signals when certain conditions are met.
Receivers
Receivers listen for a channel and perform an action when they hear any device (including themselves) send a signal on that channel. For the Damage Volume, this allows creators to control when and if the zone exists during gameplay
