Hi,
Is it possible to start (activate?) a decal via an entity AI Main script?

I have animated an entity to walk a path, and at the end of the path (waypointstate=5), I would like to have some steam decals start.

Is this possible to do in script?

Thanks in advance,
X

Gracias Habatar.

I cannot find the IfUsed property for my entity. Do you know if IsUsed is available for Enemy Entities? I also tried adding the following lines to the entity fpe file:

;aiused
usekey =
ifused =
ifusednear =

I then deleted the bin & dbo files, restarted FPSC, re-selected the entity from the library, and added to the level, checked the properties, but there still is no IfUsed property.

I cannot figure this out. Do you know if I doing something wrong?

True.

I forgot that characters not have a IfUsed propety.

I think to made a tigger zone that activate a IfUsed if anything is in the zone.

The tigger zone script is:
anyinzoneactivateifused.fpi


You can put this trigger zone at the end of the waypoint path.

I will try to do list. I add to my TO DO List.

Gracias Habatar for the suggestions & code. I worked with it for a couple of days and got it working. Here are a couple of notes if anyone wants to do something similar:

"anywithinzone" is not a valid condition. I then tried using "entitywithinzone" for the trigger zone, but it does not work. It is always true, even if I put the trigger zone is an empty part of the map. Maybe someone can confirm "entitywithinzone" does not work properly.

I then tried "anywithin", but it is valid for an entity only (not a trigger zone). I deleted the zone and created an entity at the end of the waypoint path and it is now working.

Thanks again.

anywithinzone is valid

anykeywithinzone is something, I haven't quite figured that out yet though

and
ENTITYWITHINZONE was never made.

I apologize. anywithinzone is on page 87 of the manual. My eyes must have been buggin out.

entitywithinzone is on page 86. I tried that command every which way until I was ready to through my laptop out the window. Good to know that is was not implemented. Are you aware of any other commands that were never made?

Thanks!
