Would it be possible to make a trigger, activate another trigger. Eg. You walk into a room, walk through a trigger inside of the room, which would make the trigger at the door active, then go back through the door and trigger the activated trigger?

If that made any sense then would it need a seperate script or could it be done in the editor w/o any custom scripts?

Unfortunately, no. You can use a trigger to spawn or trigger a win zone or dynamic entity, but you can't trigger a trigger. However, you can spawn a trigger via an entity. For example, I have a map that the player picks up and spawns a trigger. In the properties for the map, under AI Automated IF Used field, I put in the name of the trigger. Then in the properties of the trigger under AI scripts Start, I use the appearifactivate.fpi script. So the way it works is when the player enters the room, they pass the trigger which has not been activated. When they pick up the map, it then spawns the trigger and when they go back out of the room, the trigger runs.

So in your example, the player could enter the room and pickup an object, which could spawn your trigger at the door.

Hmm... Another question but I don't want to make another thread, are you able to activate a trigger by killing an entity?

In what we discussed earlier, yes you could. In the properties for the entity, under AI Script Destroy field, you can use destroyandactivate.fpi (found in scriptbank\destroy folder). Make sure in the IF Uses field for the entity you put the name of the trigger, just as we discussed earlier.

Could you explain what you want to achieve with the triggers?

I moght have a solution but that depends on what you want the player to be able/unable, see or whatever
