Is there any way to have a trigger zone unactivated so when the player walks in it nothing happens until an event like completing an objective then have activated so when the player walks over it it works. if can be done just point me in the right direction and I shall attempt it.

ok so i'am thinking now i should use the variables in sequence like objective 1's trigger zone would be activated some how when a seperate event happened and adds 1 to the list which raises another question:

Are varibles global or are they only dealt with inside there own script?

Variables are not a requisite for this type of action, just a little extra thought.

Consider the following script:




There, giving that code to a triggerzone will make it not do anything until it has been activated by another entity. After it has been activated, then it will do something when the player enters the zone.

thought that would work but then FL's FPI Editpad described it as a substitute for state= or something like that.

Technically they are both variables but the "activated" variable can be changed by outside scripts, whereas the "state" variable must be changed from within the same script.
