Somehow I can't spawn invisible walls. I make the IW dynamic and change the "spawn at start" to no and the "spawn at delay" to yes. Next, I put the "plrinzoneactivateused.fpi" as the main script of the triggerzone and type the name of the IW in the "ifused" field.
In the testgame when I walk into the trigger zone, it doesn't spawn anything.
Does anyone know how to spawn invisible walls?

Thanks

Lol, hard to tell if its there or not...right
I believe your issue may be solved by using colon/coloff instead of spawning it, no ones going to know its there if its invisible. If for some reason you really need to spawn it, it might be best to simply have the wall appear as normal and destroy before spawning so collision is calculated at build.
Also if your placing your wall near another dynamic entity it will be kicked somewhere else on the map (you wouldnt know this as its invisible), suggest you test a normal texture on it till you get it working.
I dont know that you need to be delaying the spawn.

Awesome! Its one of those threads.

Well I can tell because I can walk through the place where the IW is supposed to be when spawned.

This doesn't mean its not there, it could be moved or collision isn't on.
Use a normal opaque texture to be sure so you can eliminate possibilities.

Without knowing exactly what your designing its hard to say what the problem is I still think turning collision on off would be easier than spawning.

Place your entity in the map. set it to immobile=0 dynamic=1

Put this in your entities appear script.



Put this in the mainscript.


Put this in the triggerzone. Put the name of the entity in the ifused section under properties.
