Just wondering which uses more proccessing power to spawn entities destroy and activate or tiggerzones?

I am not sure. Logic tells me that "destroy and activate" uses less processing power because FPSC knows to activate the entity in the IFUSED property after the first entity is destroyed, while a trigger zone is constantly checking to see if the player is within the zone.

It really depends on what is happening in the story or what you want to happen in the game. If you want the player to just be walking along, minding his own business, when he is suddenly attacked by lots of badguys out of nowhere, use a trigger zone. If you want the player to destroy something in order to get a reward (like a health pack), use "destroy and activate." That's how I view it.

Hope it helps,

i thought the activate-trigger in the editor would be the same as when you use a zone, also checking a script constantly because it has to be done in a way. scripts are simply the language to tell fpsc what it should do (same for fpe/fps/fx etc.), that were my thoughts until now ^^

would be interesting if someone answers who knows for sure about that stuff (dbpro-coder, modder, tgc...)
