Doesn't matter. The problem wasn't in this class, but in another 
unrelated class elsewhere on the test map, which was intercepting the 
trigger somehow and repeating it after two seconds - its supposed to be 
for timeing, dont know how it managed to get tangled in this, some kind 
of conflict with its superclass functions I think.

If you wondering what this is for, Im adding more classes to UTAllSorts, 
a set of general utilities Im making while I learn the skills needed for 
a more ambitions project I currently have mothballed. These are 
target-shoot classes. Targets (subclasses of decoration which give a 
point when destroyed), launchers, timing equipment. I want to encourage 
a style of gaming where the targets are not other players. The targets 
are currently barrels, but when complete will be available in a variety 
of sizes and score values. Im currently working on a nice particle-burst 
explosion effect.

I would be intrested if anyone has a player-protector mutator or object, 
just something to stop players killing each other so they can 
concentrate on the targets.
