Well, first off, sorry for all the questions, as ive said im still pretty new at this

I need a way to make an entity that:
A: Doesn't spawn at start so activation is required to spawn him

B: Gets destroyed when he is activated again.

I've tried editing the FPI so that
Activated=2 ? Would make him Vanish. Well, that doesn't work, going along with my noobish prowess at FPI (none of my scripts work...(well...2 work ) )


As always, any help is appreciated!

Using a trigger zone would be your best option for in game spawns. When a player steps on the trigger zone it will spawn the toon you want so no toon on start untill you walk on the trigger.

Directions..

Put a trigger zone on your map someware where your guy would walk
Add the entity where you want him someware normal out of sight

Property's
Trigger zone
- If used = guard1

Entity
- Name: guard1
- Spawn at start = No
- Spawn after Delay = Yes

Dont put anything in delay number

Now when your toon walks on the trigger zone it will spawn your guard/mob

Edit: Forgot to mention this method will only spawn the guard once so when you walk over the trigger again it wont spawn

Anyone else? This is really important for the next level of my game, as there are a lot of characters so i need to be able to delete some and free up processing

Any help is really appreciated guys, if i can't figure this out, i'll have to rework just about the entire level design.

I have a destroy script I created last night actually, I can post it when I get home as I'm at work right now,

It just is a follow waypoint then destroy script

...actually if you take the follow script from the stock scripts and change :waypointstate5=x to :waypointstate=5:destroy

Basic set up would be:
entity with followdestroy script, with properties set to start at spawn no, and spawn after delay yes, set waypoint from entity start and where you want it to dissapear and the apply the entity name to the trigger zone and change the main to plyinzoneactifused script.

That should do the trick, if not, let me know and I'll post the script later.

Code now attached!

Video example also attached!

I had to end up using variables, I added to his script, that if the variable goes to 2 or higher he gets destroyed and a i made a trigger zone that increases the variable, therefore destroying him


Thanks for your script though, as i may need that as well!

All the best
