first disable the trigger at the very start of the function with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

disable_trigger();

and after the player use the first trigger set a falg like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag_set("stop_wait");

and make the trigger that you disabled to wait till the flag has been set up to show it to the players like

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag_wait("stop_wait");
enable_trigger();

it would be easier to understand if you could post your code to make the required changes

what if i have multiple triggers to disable and enable:

What i mean:

( player uses trigger 1 = makes trigger 2 usable
player uses trigger 2 = makers trigger 3 usable

and so on.....)

can i keep on changing "stop_wait"

to stop_wait_two

stop_wait_three

and so on..... ?!?!

Yes, you can set it up to do that.
Personally I wouldn't use flags, I would just set it up like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

trigger1 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff
trigger2 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff
trigger3 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff

you hide them and show them where I said "do stuff"
also to set the hintstring you simply put:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

trigger1 SetHintString( "What ever you want it to say" );

well i prefer using flags cause i've had bad memories using waittill player but i think it might work the same

if you want the hint string to have something like "press F" you put

Code Snippet

Plaintext

press &&1

inside the hinstring, also if ou want the text to be yellow you put

Code Snippet

Plaintext

press ^3&&1^7

ex:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

    level.storagecost = 500; 		
trig setHintString("Press ^3&&1^7 to store your weapon["+level.storagecost+"]");

your way should work, however flags can be a bit buggy and not always work.

Well if I wanted something from another script to begin, then I would rather call it,
or use a level notify

The stuff I said about flags is not a personal choice, that is how the game engine works.

dosn't sethintstring make if so when your near the trigger it will display a little message

then thing i want is a message to show up after i use the trigger (like an objective thing on the top left corner)
