Im trying to get an entity to respawn only after another trigger.
EG.
The object is to repeat a sequence of kills
1.I kill enemy #1
2.enemy #2 spawns
3......etc.
4.after the last enemy #1 respawns.
I can get the list of entities to spawn using activatetarget,but I cant get the first one to respawn.
It will either respawn as soon as it dies or not respawn at all.

I know that making the enemies not spawn at start then activate them makes them spawn but for the respawn just put another enemy where he "respawns"

With your method I would have to place a huge amount of enemies in each of the spots.
(An entity can respawn instantly after a kill or respawn after a time delay.)
Im looking for a method that the respawn will wait for some kind of trigger.
This could be used for many other purposes.
Eg. a "portal" or "creature generator" where any time the player hits a switch an entity appears.

There is a very basic problem behind that: A respawn is NO entity on its own therefore its impossible to trigger the respawn. You can only activate/deactivate the whole entity.

Mo idea if this actually works but its an idea for the creature main script:
state=0:timerstart,state=1
state=1,timergreater=10000,destroy,activate=0

If the spawn is destroyed and the entity deactivated in one go it should wait to be triggered again by a switch.

Of course the entity is destroyed even without the player killing it so its use would be limited even if it works :/

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^
