alright, the goal of this script is to make it so when i place a book named 'hb' on a table, a nearby remote door will open. (This is an edit of a script inside the fps guide)
Heres my work so far:

[/code] ;Artificial Intelligence Script
;Header
desc = open up
;Triggers
:state=0,entitywithinzone=hb:activateifused=1,state=1
:state=1,entitywithinzone=0:activateifused=0,state=0
;End of Script [code]

So I was wondering if anyone know where the issue is, i know that I have all the other things set up correct as in I have the 'ifused' and 'remotedoor' etc.

(in line state=0 'hb' is the name of the entity)

I think entitywithinzone takes a Boolean only - true or false - 0 or 1.

Best.

Unfortunately, the command you're trying to use "entitywithinzone" is not programmed. It won't work... it's pretty much nonexistent.

However, there is another command you can use to get the results you're looking for: "anykeywithinzone"

This command will be TRUE if the zone's "UseKey" is in the zone and false if the key is not in the zone.


You may have already guessed, but triggerzones do not HAVE a "UseKey" property, which is a bit problematic. To get this to work, you'll need to make a NEW triggerzone entity, open its FPE file and add the line:

UseKey = NameOfKeyEntity


Obviously, you'll put the name of the entity that the zone should use as it's key. Make sure the name in the file is exactly the name you give the key entity.


Hope this helped.


The one and only,

-Removed- (question answered)

Edit: So I am to copy the triggerzone and make a different version of it by adding the line to the .fpe file?

Edit again: I Added the line and I figured that I should put the name of the door in the 'ifused' box. Thanks

Edit a third time: Errr, well I put the correct name in the ifused box but I notice that the 'hb' entity does not activate anything and the zone makes the normal 'zoneactivated' ($0) sound when i walk through it. What script should I use for this zone to allow the usekey to be the trigger?

I have done this exact thing before using anywithinzone. It was a controlled environment and only one item was available to be placed in the zone, so it worked for me. It may not be suitable for you. This is the simple code I used.

:state=0,anywithinzone=1:activateifused=1,sound=$0,state=1

Best.

I have an idea. Ill make all other entitys static so the player can only move the entity that i want to be used to open the door.

Thanks for the help

theres a script in the script bank'zoneanyactivate.fpi' give that to the aimain of the trigger zone, in the trigger zone enter the doors name in the ifused field, then whenever you place a dynamic entity withn the trigger zone the door will open, take the entity out and the door will close

Code can be confusing when your new (Im a newbie too) but this one can be achieved without editing any fpi's or fpe's

hope that helped

but yeah your right just have the one dynamic entity nearby as any dynamic entity within the trigger zone will open the door whereas you just want it to be your book

X10 user - I am trying to do something similar and I did everything as far as the trigger zone. What does my object(key) need to be set as? I gave it the pickup1 script so that the player can pick it up, but when I take it over to the trigger area I get a press enter to open and when I hit enter, I hear a door opening, but my remote door doesn't open. Is there something I am missing?
