Hi

I want to affect another entity's property from a script.

In this case I have a trigger zone that is placed behind an enemy (the enemy is facing in the other direction, causing him not to be able to detect the player by seeing him)

When the player steps on the trigger zone I want the enemy to turn around so that he can see the player.

Can this be done by using only the script in the trigger zone?

Best regards!

Yes this can be done. Try using the "rotatetoplr" action. This action needs to be in the entity script not the trigger zone script.

Yes, that is the command I'm looking for.

But,,, the triggerzone script must be able to tell the entity script to face the player. Somehow this may be done,,, I'm not sure if it's even possible,,, If it is possible in an easy way, I don't know how

One way I can think of is to make use of the "settargetname=" and "activatetarget=" actions and the "activated=" condition.

Set the trigger zone script within something like:

:plrwithinzone:settargetname=EnemyName,activatetarget=10

Then set the Enemy's script up with something like:

:activated=10:rotatetoplr

Your enemy will NEED to be the one to rotate to the player, as the triggerzone cannot force another entity to rotate if that entity is not precoded to rotate.

Take Ched's advice and put the code in the enemy.
