I am trying to get a simultaneous reaction. I think I might have it figured out. Any way what I want to happen is when the player picks up this battery and walks over to a derelict car the car turns in to a new one just like it. I need the battery to activate the trigger zone. Then the trigger zone to activate the derelict car to "destroy" its self or disappear. Then upon disappearing spawn the new one in its place. I have read everything I can get my hands on as far as tutorials and forum posts but I just can figure it out. Quite a few of the things I read spoke of a activateifused.fpi but I can't find it in the script bank file. Is it something I have to script my self? Please help!

"Activateifused" is a command in the script to activate the name of the entity specified in the IFUsed field of an entity or trigger.

"Appearifactivate.fpi" is the start script you would assign things like a trigger, story zone, win zone, sound zone, decals, etc. The script waits for the element to be activated and then it "activates" or appears.

For example, I script my battery so that once I pick it up, it has the "activateifused=1" command in the script. In the properties for the battery, I set the name of the trigger to be activated. I place the trigger where I need it and edit the properties for it by assigning the "appearifactivate.fpi" to the Start script for the trigger.

In case you need the script for "appearifactivate.fpi, here it is:

For the trigger zone, try plrinzoneactivateused.fpi as the main script. Here it is;
