I also have been toying with this idea. It would be nice to have an "If Used" box for NPCs. I have had no success in getting a script to work for this. I will be watiching this thread to see where it goes.

Too bad you can't have an enemy hold an entity, such as a key or radio. That would solve this problem.


Come see the WIP!

I have found a solution of sorts to this problem.

Add a charcter to a game and then the key. You will have to design the room/level so the character cannot move too far from the key position (or make the character static and put the key near it). Give the key a name and refer to this name where you see any reference to key below.

Change the key properties so 'Spawn At Start' value is No

Make a copy of the characters fpe file (I always do this as a precaution when changing stock media files) you want to put in your game.

Open up the characters fpe file in Wordpad.

In the ;ai section, add the line ifused = key

Change the Destroy script of the character to activateifused

When you play the game, shoot the character and the key will appear.

Thats as far as I've got.

The one thing I'd like to do is have 5 enemy in a room. Shoot all enemy, door opens. I can do this with 1 enemy but not more than 1.

Thx guys, oh and Tzap thats because scripts are generalized so you can't put in
,colonel x1=destroyed,colonel x2=destroyed:state=2
:state=2:opendoor

that would be to specific for this particular engine to handle
