Hello all,

I am working on making a button that activates another entity so it can spawn. I have tried scripting it in, but i am not used to this style of scripting.

So what i would like to do is press e on an entity and have it activate the entity in it's "ifused" box, so that the other entity can spawn.

I also need help for switching the texture of one switch led (from the fpe switch: "textured = mytexture_off_d.dds"
to "textureALTd = mytexture_on_d.dds"). Some of ALTernate texture...
For example: when player is near switch before is activate, that switch have one LED red light and after activation,
the red LED is changing in green LED color.
Thanks in advance

Solved with this script (for the card reader):


I've used two separate entities with same script but separate texture - "EntityOFF"-red light texture, and "EntityON" -green light texture), and set on the entities option:
for the EntityOFF set: Static Mode = NO, Use key = key card, If Used = EntityON, Spawn At Start = YES.
for the EntityON (put to cover EntityOFF at exactly match for cover it) set: Static Mode = NO, Spawn At Start = NO.

Short video example here:


This scrip for the door (set in the door options Use key = key card, If Used = open door):


This script for keycard:

So, the card reader unit is used just to have more realistic scene, because the door can be opened anyway without that unit, just using the key card
