EDIT: IT WORKS. OH BOY YES. IGNORE ALL THAT STUPID POST BELOW. I TRIED IT ONCE AND IT FAILED. I TRIED IT AGAIN... AND IT WORKED! Dont know how... but Im not complaining!
Well a quick update, I've got a script that does the trick -
well, at least it's MEANT to!. it's linked to the Lift Button found in the sci-fi entitybank (I liked the look of that button!).
It happily spawns the first crate, but yeh you guys no I'm not much cop at scripting. I've tried my best here but unfortunately I fail to be terribly impressive at this thang.
Btw the script isn't finished yet, but I'm not gonna finish it obviously until I get it to work!
Oh yeah, the problem of course... It doesn't spawn the second crate. I didn't know what command to use to get it to change the "if used" field, and I didn't think there was one (or at least I didn't find it). So I thought the nearest thing was the "settargetname=" and "activatetarget=". Laugh at me if I misunderstood these commands and it doesn't work like that. And once your laughing stitch has gone... please give me a hand
I thought "settargetname=" would set the name for a target. Then "activatetarget=1" would activate the target. So, for example, settargetname=fall2, activatetarget=1 would activate fall 2 and make it spawn... come on, its only logical..
