Find the Community guide and read the scripting tutorials. This type of thing is covered in the first and second tutorial referencing light switches... just relate that and imagine that instead of having the Light's "If Used" field set to the light, it's set to a spawnable entity.


Find out what script a triggerzone uses to spawn an entity and mold that (if necessary) into a switch script.

Sadly, you cannot have a spawn point ONLY spawn a single item whenever it is activated. When you activate a spawning entity, it will start spawning and will not stop unless it has reached it's maximum amount of entity's to spawn.

Gun_Guy,

I would have the character's settings set to spawn when used, then set the switch to activate the character's name. That should spawn the entity once the player activates the switch.
