I would like some help with something I am trying to do.

I am trying to get a character to trigger off an event. The character

would trigger a closed door, So it would open when the

character(enemy) hit the trigger zone.

Is this possible, I have already searched and didn't come up with

enough info to amke it happen.

Failing that, If I say, shot a light, the door would open?

Thanks

You can make use of the anywithinzone condition to check if there is an entity within it. Then just do the standard procedure of opening the door.

Add this script to the main section of a trigger zone:

:state=0:state=1
:state=1,entitywithinzone=1:activateifused=1,state=2
:state=2:state=2

Then, under the IfUsed settings in the trigger zone, type 'dooropen'. Then place the door you want to open, and rename it 'dooropen'. Set it's main script to doorremote.fpi. That should work.

Thanks for your help Marc.

It sort of works. The door is opened even before the entity has triggered anything.

Not going so well with FPSC. I seemto find more issues with the program.

I guess when you place the trigger zone you have to make sure that there's no dynamic entities in it. Otherwise you'd have to look into the anywithinzone command.

I do believe characters are capable of activating nearby entities. This is how they open doors and whatnot.

Perhaps you could use the same idea behind that to have your entity activate a nearby entity (instead of a triggerzone) that would then activate the door.


That's my two cents.

That's a good idea Plystire.

Could you give me a rundown on how I would go about it?

Thanks

Rundown:

- Open up a character script (one that follows waypoints) and look for the command that lets them activate the entities nearby, because I forgot what the command is.

- Place a small entity on the floor, or wall where you want the activation to take place (basically, where you had your triggerzone before)

- Script that entity something like so:


- Also, give that entity's "If Used" the name of your door

- Rescript your wandering entity to use the command that you got from the character script, and have it use an activation value of 2.



Should work.. I obviously haven't tested it. But it makes sense in my head.

Good work Plystire, I hadn't even thought of doing it that way
