hey there guys,
I have a problem..
I have made my own script(first time!!), and am having some troubles.
Here it is....





Well, basically, I applied this to a trigger zone, and then called the if-used bit Triggerbarrels, and then put in some barrels, and then called that Triggerbarrels. Then I clicked Spawn at start?No.
and spawn after delay?Yes.
What am I doing wrong??

The purpose of this script, is to make barrels appear when you walk through this trigger zone.
Please help me. Thanks.

i am not that good in scripting, maybe you can just do it without scripting, but if you insist, you can loop, put at the end:

state=0

I think, dont know for sure.


PS: Phlystire is the best on scripting, the one and only


bye

That is incorrect. If you put "Triggerbarrels" into the IfUsed field of the zone's properties, then you should be able to use "activateifused". Now... you also have to activate it with a value. Normally activating with a "1" is the way to go for spawning entities, so a simple "activateifused=1" is what you'll want.

Hey there. Thanks for locating my problem!!
I would really appreciate it if you could post a revised version, with all the errors corrected.
I am not very good or experienced with scripting, so please do point me in the right direction if you can!!

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = plrinzonestartimer

;Triggers

:plrwithinzone=1:timerstart,state=2
:state=2,timergreater=25000:activateifused=1

;End of Script

Change the IfUsed box in the trigger zone to your barrel names. All those states weren't really necessary, but here's the script "translated" into English:

If the player is within the trigger zone, then start the timer and go to state 2.

If the state=2,and the timer is greater than 25 seconds, activate the entity described in the IfUsed box.

Hope it works

You could optimise it further by using this script:

:plrwithinzone=1:timerstart
:timergreater=25000:activateifused=1

That second one won't work, marc. As long as the player is in the zone, it'll continuously restart the timer and it'll never activate.
