OK..I'm a DB Pro'er, not an FPSC'er, and I can't work out this, my very first script attempt.

I want a Trigger Zone that destroys anything that enters it. If I chuck a crate in, it should be destroyed. If I chuck myself in, or a chair, potted plant or desk, they should all be destroyed.

I figure the script needs to be attached to the Trigger Zone "Main" AI Script. I tried:

:state=0,entitywithinzone=1:destroy

and failed, as did:

:state=0,anywithinzone=1:destroy

At a guess, I would say I am destroying the Trigger Zone, not the entity. Can anyone help me transfer this "Destroy" action to the entity?

well, coloff is the statement for the leavecorpse.fpi when the entity dies, try doing that. and you need a within distance thing,

:state=0,(objects within 100 of zone),entitywithinzone=1:coloff or destroy or whatever.

COLOFF simply ends collision for the player. This script is also specific to the entity you run it on.

I need to run a script on a zone which effects any entity that enters the zone.

:state=0:state=1
:state=1:activateifused=1,state=2
:state=2,anywithinzone=1:activateifused=0,state=1

//enemy
:state=0,activated=1:state=1
:state=1,activated=0:destroy,state=2

only thing is that steping in the zone destroys all enemys set...

you could also have a boulder do something

//
:state=0,activated=1:state=1
:state=1,activated=0:triggerforce=100
:state=2:moveback=100,state=0

Cheers, Merranvo. I'll try that when I've got 15 minutes to do it properly.

One thing...
activateifused=1

What does that do, it's been bugging me for a while? Do I need to put a value in the If Used property to make it work, and if so what value?

But I won't know the name of the entity involved, it could be anything

Or have I misunderstood?

'destroy' doesn't refer to the entity within the zone but the zone marker. That's why Menarvo suggests using the 'activateifused=1' action command.

Maybe you cuold also try 'activateallinzone=x', being x the value you want to check in the main fpi of the entities you want to destroy (do not use the common ones: 0 and 1).

Then, in the main fpi of every entity write:

:state=0,activated=x:state=1 (being x = 2, for instance)
:state=1,activated=0:destroy,state=2

AFAK, there is no 'destroyanywithinzone' command yet.
