I have had problems like this before and people think it pertains to the gcz script placer, and somehow i added a zipline script (which worked) and deleted some brushes and whoop di doo i get screwed with not being able to turn on power . any help would be apprieciated thanks

Does it give you the annoying hand icon when you walk up to it?

yep

yep

That's probably a problem with your script. When the script runs it sets everything so you don't get that, but if you put a trigger in your map without running a script for it to set the hintstring and remove that icon, it shows up with a hand. Unless you changed the kvps of that trigger? I think the one to turn on the power is targetname>"use_power_switch". Does the power come on when you start your map? If not then your code is not reaching the power script, most likely.

Perhaps you are calling a function that has a wait or a while loop in it before the script for power, instead of threading it?
