Hi there, I have an entity that is spawned when the player goes into a zone. What I want is another zone that destroys the same entity.
Is there a way to do that?
All other scripts involve just the one trigger to activate the entity script and destroy it, but my entity spawns when it is activated by the first trigger zone.

Help me.... I'm new!

Thanks foe the help. When I go into the first trigger, he spawns alright, but he doesn't go away when I go into the second trigger zone. Do you think this could have anything to do with the fact that I'm using the free version at the moment?

I see what your trying to do here, but can an activation have variables like that? Again, using this script I'm having the same problems, the entity spawns, but is not destroyed by the other trigger zone.
Is it possible to have a value set to an activation, I thought you were either activated or not. I'm not sure that activated=0 actually does anything.
I'll try using a global variant instead, do you think that will work?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Use this instead:

activateifused=2

ifused=2

to destroy the entity in the second trigger.

Awesome! Its one of those threads.

Hi bobbyisthebest
This is an entity and not a npc,right? To activate and destroy same entity w/triggers
First and Second triggers are the same

For the entity use another state in the main script that when activated it destroys it.

This will work. Always run the cleaner between tests.

i does nothing but it is a condition and a condition just check if it is true or not! And activated=0 check if it is deactivated!
Quote: "First and Second triggers are the same"

No, i try this and it works not!
And your scripts dont work! they just destroy the entity!

Descrition how this works(my scripts): (chose folder "With Activation")
First triggerzone(to appear entity)
Set as main script the trigger_first.fpi
Ifused="entity"
Second triggerzone(to destroy the entity)
Set as main script the trigger_second.fpi
Ifused="entity"
Entity(must be dynamic)
Set as main script entity.fpi

Descrition how this works(my scripts): (chose folder "With Variables")
First triggerzone(to appear entity)
Set as main script the trigger_first.fpi
This time no ifused!!!!!
Second triggerzone(to destroy the entity)
Set as main script the trigger_second.fpi
This time no ifused!!!!!
Entity(must be dynamic)
Set as main script entity.fpi

Do not say this time:" It is not working" It works 100%, i test it five times and it always work! If not update to 1.20 beta3, then you maybe have a old version!

Personally I have only used activateifused=2 and know for certain it works, I am not sure how high you can go with these values but its a lot simpler than using variables.

Awesome! Its one of those threads.

Well, I downloaded the most recent update, and what do you know, it keeps spawning me in the top right hand corner of the map when I test it!
I'll search for this problem on the forums, but it'll be a while before I can test of the script again.

Help me.... I'm new!

ched80 and me use activate=666 for common destroy-commands, so i think minimum up to 999, maybe its only limited by calculation (as dimvars are only limited through codelimit, too).
