So my first map is kind of an objective-based map, and for one of the challenges, I want the players to have to collect zombie souls to move on to the next area of the map. Now I dont exactly want a soul chest-type deal here, but very close to it. Basically i just want to use blunts script but on a different model instead of a soul chest. I have a table in the center of the room and it serves as kind of a "collect souls for satan" type thing. And I want the souls to go into the table. I know this is probably very simple to do but I'm a new, learning scripter and would love some help here.

Thanks!

stamp the prefab and remove the model. Make sure it is centered where it should be. I think that is all. ! IF ! the model has KVP's, copy them to the new model (im not farmillar with his soul boxes)

There is no prefab 

It's been a while since i made that script, so i'll have to take a quick look at it. I'll post what you need to change in a bit

Use this script, i have removed the chest-models from this one everything else still works the same. So you just place a trigger_radius and a clip with the correct KVP's and that's it ( just follow the normal tut )

I dont have time to test it now, but if something is not working / throw's an error just post back here...

Thanks blunt!

So I did everything like said in the tutorial, replaced the soul chest script with the new one you gave me, but I get this error:

Server script compile error
bad token 'Â'
soul_chest_area = getentarea ( "soul_chest_area" ,
"targetname");Â. Â. Â. Â.

Any thoughts?

Thanks blunt!

soul_chest_area = getentarray( "soul_chest_area" , "targetname");

This happens sometimes if I copy text into a file from my phone then paste into gsc.
In notepad++ double click a space to highlight it and press "ctrl c" , "ctrl f" then click "find and replace" and replace the space with another space made from your keyboard.
Same with the indented lines. double click a indented area and using "ctrl f" then "find and replace" with a new tab(indent).

Removing the space between the declaration and the semi-colon might fix it.

soul_chest_area = getentarray( "soul_chest_area" , "targetname");

Just copy it straight on your computer to a gsc not to another text file.

hey guys is there a link to a tut for sole chests As Id Like to try and use them in my map too

Thanks alot

sorry for the questions im still learning and askin is the best thing to do
