We use
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then...

for the player to trigger a zone but does anyone know if there is a way for an AI entity to trigger a zone when it enters it?

not for zones but you can detect if an object (including AI) is close to another object

+ Code Snippet

function GetDistance(e,v)
if g_Entity[e] ~= nil and g_Entity[e] ~= 0 and g_Entity[v] ~= nil and g_Entity[v] ~= 0 then
local disx = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_Entity[v]['x']
local disz = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_Entity[v]['z']
local disy = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_Entity[v]['y']
return math.sqrt(disx^2 + disz^2 + disy^2)
end
end

Thanks Smallg - I think you gave me a similar answer to another thread of mine - - I really need it for a square area rather than a distance which would give me a circular check - but beggars cant be choosers I guess! Just a shame that the zones wont work for the AI - was hoping for an ai trigger function of somesort.

well if you know the area then just check his coords are within the "area"
you can always set 4 (or more) objects to act as a square if you really want them to be movable in the editor too
