Type 2 (Locator)
Used to position Wasp Cameras, gag models and gag triggers. This type of locator has no effect unless it's referenced by a script.
Gag triggers are different from most Trigger Volumes in that they're created dynamically at runtime instead of being in a P3D file.
Type 3 (Car Start Locator)
Used to position cars, characters and other miscellaneous things in scripts and missions.
Type 4 (Spline Locator)
TODO

TODO
Type 8 (Directional Locator)
Used to position the player when they enter an interior.
Type 9 (Action Event Locator)
Used to create various "action buttons" in the world that the player triggers either by pressing action on them or by entering the trigger. These are used for collectibles such as wrenches and collector cards as well as skin shops. They can also be used to control animated world objects in various ways.
See Action Event Locator Types for more info.
