how do i make a script so when i step on a triggerzone, it actives a person following a waypoint.

WHAT I NEED DOING:

a guy is around a corner in a T junction. i want it so when i step on a triggerzone, the person flys past the corridor infront. i had already worked out how 2 do it, its jus i dont know how to make the person stand still till i step on the zone!

You dont have to do anything. Thats right, nothing, because if you dont make any commands it will not do anything. Just make "the fly by script" and dont script any things that you dont want the entity to do.

Antimatter... WHAT?

remove your state=0 and add :activated=1,state=0:state=1
Set the triggerzone ifused to the name of the enemy

I meant that if you dont script the entity to i.e. move around he will stand still.

Place your guy facing the right direction. (Down the hall)
I am assuming he is around the corner where your player can't see him standing still.
Then when you get to the trigger he will run down the hall.
This makes him visible to player when he runs past the junction of the hallways.
If I am imagining this right, you just want to see him run past, but not be able to catch him.

Try this for your Runner's AIMAIN...


This example makes the character (once activated) run for 3 seconds then destroy itself.
Simply adjust the timer and/or character's speed to compensate for the length of hallway.
Hopefully he will have already destroyed himself before your player gets to the corner of the hall.
All the player knows is that guy was fast. (set the entity's speed to 400 or so..lol)


I didn't test it, so let me know if it works.

Dont know if I understand the scenario exactly but I am working with triggers extensively.

If you cant see the entity you want activated initially and you want to call the entity to activation and move along the path when the player gets to a certain point - the "simple" way to do this is to set the entity to spawn and set a trigger (triggers the spawning) at the position you want the player to be when the entity comes to life. That way you can help save of fps as well as the entity wont exist until you want it.

If you mean you want the entity to stop at a certain location along a path and do something or nothing that will require specific scripting is more complicated and is not for an answer now - though it can be done with a combination of player proximity and waypoint stop/waypointstart commands in script if set up properly. Additionally triggers can enhance what you can do in this way.
