The problem is not missing entities. When you use getentarray it returns an array of objects, not a single object.

What you need to do is start a new thread for each trigger and rebuild your prefab so as to link the trigger to the block it relates to.

First open your prefab. Remove the block targetname (by using the delete key / pair button in the entity properties window). Then De-select. Next select the trigger and still holding shift, select the block. Then press 'w'. A line with an arrow on it should appear linking the two entities. You can move the enties apart to make this step easier and once linked move them back into position.

Next to the script:

main()
{
   triggers = getentarray ("trigger","targetname");
   
   for(i=0; i < triggers.size; i++)
      trigger[i] thread waitfordamage();
}

waitfordamage()
{
   block = getent(self.target,"targetname");
   
   if(!isDefined(block)) // check that the trigger is linked to a block
   {
      iprintln("Missing Linked Block Entity");
      return;
   }
   
   self waittill("trigger");
   
   block delete();  
}

You can adjust things like the allowed methods of damage and the amount of damage the trigger has to take before triggering in the entity window.

about time pedros back on the forums lol

Hats off to you, Pedro. That made it work. Thanks alot.

Where/how have you learned C? (Pedro)

Self taught mainly. First scripts were for a mapping project, but then that turned to small mods and then more complex projects built from scratch.

Did a bit of C and C# at uni, but with CoD it was just a matter of getting stuck into some of the stock scripts. C# and C are both stricter than cod scripting, so I find scripting a lot more enjoyable for this reason.
