heres a vid of what im trying to do. its what ive done so far. i just need to sort the [select] bit out now. which is why i need 2 trigs to remain active and the player can choose from 1 of the 2 & depending on which one they choose depends on whether the script 'proceeds' or returns to start.

heres the code i have written also-

```

gun_machine()

    zombie_ppsh = getEnt("zombie_ppsh","targetname"); //zombie_ppsh

    zombie_mg42 = getEnt("zombie_mg42","targetname"); //zombie_mg42

    zombie_ppsh hide();

    zombie_mg42 hide();

    zombie_cymbal_monkey hide();

Actually, what are you trying to do here, you're psuedo code is not really specific and what do you mean by "lot"?

this is what i mean by "lot" https://imgur.com/4gBsbWw
there are 2 weapons and monkeys in the machine. so 3 "lots" of trigs & each "lot" containing 2 trigs. 1 to cycle to next weapon & 1 to select a weapon.

Can I see how you have it setup in Radiant? Also, add me on discord: LilGabe#2429

You need to thread the methods to achieve your goal.
you know...
self thread Test1();
self thread Test2();
self thread Test3();

Like a crossway where you can task your workers to do stuff for you.

like you mentiond before-

"I don't know which way you want
you can loop through an array of triggers and thread it to one method
or you can get a few entities like I have here and thread those"

im currently trying out- "you can loop through an array of triggers and thread it to one method".

issue im having is even tho i can choose between 1 or the other trig. in order to get weapon 2 i 1st Have to get weapon1. i can cycle thru the 3 functions with no problem. it just wont let me get access to another other weapon until weapon1 trig has been activated. so even tho i can choose. i still have to also use both trigs to proceed to acquiring weapon2 from func2. i tried endon & notify. which i got it working. (to killt the function i mean by 'working'. not the script). but i need to call on each func at the end so terminating the func is no good here. as both trigs are within a loop and i have a break; outside of both trigs, but inside the loop. i thought that by selecting any trig it would then break out of the loop, therefore forgetting about the other trig and then proceed to func2();. but this isnt the case
