Settle which story trigger runs when two fire in the same moment

The player steps through a doorway while picking up the key, and two scenes start at once, talk over each other or leave the game in a state neither expected. Here is how your AI orders simultaneous triggers, lets later ones see what earlier ones changed, and drops those that no longer apply.

Why this works

Two scenes in the same instant cannot both speak first, so they need a fixed order. Looking again after each one is what makes it right: the first may supply what the second waits for, or take away what the second needed.

When not to use it

Skip it when scenes do not touch the same facts and can safely play side by side, such as a sound and a light. And if a dropped scene matters to the story, give it a way to come back later instead of letting it vanish.
