    @brief
        The DistanceMultiTrigger is a trigger that triggers whenever an object (that is of the specified target type) is in a specified range of the DistanceMultiTrigger. The object can be specified further by adding a DistanceTriggerBeacon (just attaching it) to the objects that can trigger this DistanceMultiTrigger and specify the name of the DistanceTriggerBeacon with the parameter targetname and only objects that hav a DistanceTriggerBeacon with that name attached will trigger the DistanceMultiTrigger.
    @see MultiTrigger.h
        For more information on MultiTriggers.
