Yes
You could settargetname=x then activatetarget in the characters destroy script before you destroy it.

An example would be the stock script destroyandactivate.fpi found in your scriptbank\destroy folder.
However, that script uses the activateifused=1 instead of setting the target, but it will work either way.

Then, the other entity that is being activated must be scripted to perform some action when activated, which in your case it would call its own destroy script when activated.

Woah, you lost me at The other entity that is being activated. I don't want to activate anything, just destroy something

Activating it is nothing more than giving it a signal so that it knows it is time to destroy itself.
So, if the death of the character is triggering the other entity to be destroyed, then that other entity must have a way of knowing that happened.
The character's destroy script is the best way to let the entity know it has been killed, and activating the entity when that happens lets it know that it happened.

Please do not simply write "Noob Question", "I am a newb", "One Noobie Question", "A question", "Please help", "This isn't working" or anything similar as the title of your post. We have a search facility, and meaningless titles do not help others find answers to their questions. It will also help you to get quicker responses if people have an idea of your thread content.

Yes. Have the player start in a trigger zone. Set the main script of the trigger zone to set the ambient, RGB values to what you want them to be.

I don't believe so in stock FPSC. There was one for Project Blue.
