Correction, you are a newbie. n00bs are people who spam the boards.

and to activate a button.

forget dealing with the enemy... if you do you have to edit several files and that gets annoying as complexity increases. Instead make sure there are no other dynamic objects surrounding the switch and give it this script.

:anywithin=60,plrdistfurther=60:activateifused=1


What this does is activates whatever the switch activates if the enemy is near it... but the plr has to be far away (anywithin=bugged i think).

What I did in these circumstances was to place a switch that was to activate an entity.

Then I place a trigger zone and attach a script to it with its script set to activate the switch. You need a script with the anywithin command and then set the ifused field in the trigger zone to the name of the switch.

Sounds a little complicated and perhaps it is - but I found other methods gave less precise control of when the switch activated.

Merranvo,

Your method is easier - so if that works which I am sure it will then that should be used. I tried it but the results in my scenario were less stable - that dont mean its the same for everyone - thats FPSC for you.

In my opinion, setting the character's IfUsed field to the object to be activated's name using the .fpe should work.
Use a script which has waypointstate= and also use the script that the ActivateIfUsed uses.

Yeah tom... but he has to edit the FPE... and if he has 2 enemys doing that then he has to edit it more.

I know, but it can still be done, if he wants to achieve what he wants, then he will need to work for it, imo.
