here is what I am trying to do. The player starts the level in the basement. The first door is remotely activated when a "door control box" on the wall is destroyed. I have it set up so when the control box is hit with a mele attack and destroyed. A damaged controlbox is spawned in it's place. What I would like to do is also spawn a "spark" decal coming out of the destroyed control box when the first one is destroyed.

When the damaged control box spawns, it can activate the decal.

In the main script for the damaged control box, make sure you have the "activateifused=1" action present in that script. You would most likely have that towards the beginning of the script.

Then in the IfUsed field of the damaged control box properties, put the name of the decal.

In the decal properties, set the main to decalactivate.fpi and in the start script, use this script:

Decalactivate.fpi

In the entity's destroy script, set to "scriptbank\destroy\destroyandactivate.fpi", and in the IfUsed field you put the name of that entity to spawn.
