Perfectly possible for player character!

I'm not sure if you can script for NPC's to activate triggerzones or not.

However they can obviously open and walk through doors based upon proximity so I think there's a good chance you could achieve this for player and ai characters.

You would need to either modify an existing automatic door script and apply it to the door entity directly or place a triggerzone infront of the door and use a destroy script ensuring the door entity is defined in the 'if used' field and the door entity properties are set to explodable=yes with the required values.

Sorry if I come off as harsh, but please only post one post on one board. Do not make double posts with the same question. People will not answer you question mure quickly, instead, they will scream "n00b" at you. So, for futute reference, read the stickies at the top of the boards as well as the board use guidelines.

And, yes, I have been working on a solution for you. While is is possible to make the door be destroyed, it is much harder to make it "explode" It is possible, but it will take some work.

Here is the door destroy FPI:



This above sode just makes the door dissapear and not explode.

What I would think to do, is use this script:



use this to spawn an explodable barrel named "boom" a little off of the ground. Then, its hurtfall would be set to 1. this way, when it spawns, it falls and explodes, making the explodable door explode.

I can even make the barrel invisible for you. use this script as it's start script:



Hope all of this information will help. Now I have to put this on all of your boards sinceI don't know which one you would check.

Why dont you make the door script emit a sprite when the door is opened then tell the door to 'kill' its self.

when you refer to "kill" you refer to the "destroy" action in FPI scripts. Spawning a sprite would work, nut if you want it to do damage and affect the physics system, you should use my way.
