In the script that runs for that entity (usually the main script), you can "call" on another script to run with the "runfpi=" command. We've used it successfully, and it is mentioned in the script commands section of the guide.

i think you can set it up with a setuptarget-activate-trigger or a globalvar-trigger. then add an activated=x(/varequal=x):runfpi=x in the mainscript, but i dont know if the main-script will stop running or still runs beside the second one. try it... and ask blackfox

It should work the same way as if the script was attached to a character rather than a trigger. I usually use the method on character scripts for in-game interaction based on the choices the player makes.

From the setup in the scripting I have here, it appears that the script called runs and the previous script (original that did the calling) is terminated.

You can spawn entities by triggerzone via activation. Check out some of the tutorial vids on FPSC, and look into the spawn related options for the entity.

Are you referring to spawning an entity? Meaning, for example, you walk down a corridor, pass through a trigger, and a crate, character, or other dynamic entity enters the game?

If so, yes you can. Trigger, the script to activate the name of the entity in the IfUsed field of the trigger, and the entity (dynamic) placed on the map and configured to appear when the trigger is hit.

If that is not what you were referring to, I'm afraid more information is required.
