Is there a way to script a trigger zone to create an explosive effect at another location (like a grenade explosion).
If so can some tell me how to make. (im terrible at scripting)

I have been helping my wife with her game design. She has a level where the player enters a room with 3 entrances, 2 of which are blocked with crates. The player will walk up to the blocked entrance and see that there is a passage, but can't push the crates. When the player finds a scroll through the first entrance, the crates are destroyed even though the player is in a different location. I'll share what I did and feel free to use it or modify to your liking.

The first thing we did was set the crates up at the entrance. We used small crates and had two stacks of three. The properties for the crates were set to the following:

Strength- 1
Explode Damage- 10
PhysicsForceDamage- 100
isImmobile- Yes

I then created two barrels, calling them both cylindera. I positioned them above the ground and made sure they were touching the crates. These are used to explode the crates when the trigger is activated. The properties for the cylindera were set to the following:

Spawn at start- No
Strength- 1
Physics Force Damage- 9999
Explode Damage- 100

The next step was to set the trigger. My wife had it placed overtop the first scroll the player had to pickup. Properties for the trigger were as follows:

Script- plrinzoneactivateused.fpi
If Used- cylindera

The trigger is activated when the scroll is picked up, which spawned the barrels and then the barrels exploded both themselves and the crates, making the 2nd entrance accessible.

For the third entrance, the same steps were repeated, except I called the barrels cylinderb, and the trigger in the 2nd scroll had cylinderb in the IfUsed field.

Please note that we used the crates from the Egyptian model pack, the barrels were from the WW2 section. You may need to tweak depending on what you are using. However, this should give you an idea how to set an explosion using a trigger.
