Yes it's possible.

- Place an enemy in the room and change destroy AI to 'pickupkey.fpi'

That works for keys so you'll probably need to use 'pickup1.fpi' or an amended version for other objects. Using 'ammo.fpi' should work for extra ammo etc.

Nomad, if you do that, the enemy you kill will be counted as a key, meaning the enemy will disappear as you walk over him.

I tried a bunch of things using destroy and activate AI with enemy and an object.

You can't add an IfUsed field to an enemy .fpe so I don't think getting an object to appear will work and even if it did you'd be limited to having the object spawn in a fixed location unless they are setup just to shoot at you.

Enemies dropping things other than guns and ammo which they can is not a huge concern. You could still have pickups on dead static characters or in animated furniture etc which is nice is done well.

The key script approach isn't ideal but its functional.

You CAN add an "IfUsed" field to the character's FPE file. Simply type it in with the name of the entity it should be activating.

That in mind, why not try this:

- Script a DESTROY script for the entity to activate another entity (A key) when the player gets close to it's corpse.
- Script the key entity (the one to be activated) to be picked up when it's activated.


Now, when the player approaches the dead body, they will pick up the key and the body will still be there.


The one and only,
