Hi

I'm Just playing around with FPSC, just to see what it's able to do.
I was trying to use a Trigger Zone to open a Remote door.
Everything went on fine, and I made everything right.
I thought. It didn't work.
I walked happily in to the Trigger Zone, and heard that wonderfull "pling"-noise. I turned around to see the door, which should be open.
But it was NOT open! It was closed! WOW!
Then The Nerd told me that the Trigger Zone had to "cover" the door that it should open. So I stretched the Trigger Zone so it covered the door. There ya go. It worked.
Now, what I actuallly am trying to say is, that is there any other way to make a door open with a Trigger Zone, where the Trigger Zone DOES NOT have to cover the door?
Or is it a bug?
I don't know with you, but I think that it would be cool if a Trigger Zone could activate a door from a certain distance. If for example you place a hidden Trigger Zone in the start of your level, and if the player is that lucky to find it, he/she is rewarded by a door that opens later on in the level, with tons of ammo and cool things.
Just an example.
But is it a bug, that the Trigger Zone has to cover the door it's supposed to activate, or have I just missed something?

Thanks to you all.

You need to make the door a remote type door and give it a name like tDoor (for trigger door).

Then add in a trigger zone where ever you want it.

In the trigger zone properties, put tDoor in the IFUSED box.

Next you need to modify the script (copy the plrinzone.fpi to the userdirectory naming it something like plrinzone_door.fpi and modify the user script) Change activateallinzone=1 to activateifused=1.

This will tell the script to activte rDoor when trigger is activated.

I've attached a level demonstrating this to this message.

Attached to this message is the script mentioned above and has to be put into the scriptbank\user directory.
