Is there a way to script it so an enemy with the Coward script would run away from u on waypoints, through a trigger zone, and spawn guards to come attack you?

I think you can, but maybe I am wrong.
If you can script a bit, try this algorithm for the civilian script:

1. If plr can be seen, act coward and go to next waypoint
2. reach next waypoint and then activate if used

Of course, you if used field will contain the names of your enemies to spawn.

That would be nice script. Then you have to shoot civilians if they see you!

Theres a script for the security camera that means it spawns gaurds whenever it sees you. Perhaps you could implement it in some way.

The one I wrote ? It can and can't be done. While the scripting commands exist to do it essentially the same way, enemies/characters do not have an If Used field. I don't THINK there is a way to have the FPI point to a specific name, but they do it with teleporters, so it may be possible.

Airslide's right.
Having an ifused field for characters is something I mentioned as being essential to the updates... hope Rick et al took it on board.

Spawnin the enemies when the waypoint state is at the end of the waypoint path would be the best way...

You could even open the civilian's FPE file and make them character=0 then have them run a script that doesn't use sight, but player distance.

FPI seems to be like HTML. I'm a C++ programmer myself. Try combining the coward.fpi script with the pace.fpi script. If you know event programming (if, then) then this should be easy. Maybe create waypoints for guards, then civilians react to the coward script. Then guards would scan for the player.
