The game uses the persistence mode specified in the trigger's associated tag entry. Accordingly, [[Final Sun]] and [[Final Alert 2]] map editors set the tag's persistence mode when the persistence value is modified from either Trigger or Tag dialogs.

	~~== Considerations ==~~

	~~=== The Repeating puzzle ===~~
	~~{{NeedsTesting}}~~
	As you may have noticed, different games specify different values for the Repeating flag: TD says R=1 means the trigger will repeat, RA says it will not, and TS-YR don't document this at all. This needs more testing.
