I've been playing around with volumes and spawn points to try and get some traps working. I seem to have a rather interesting problem though - the condition
When linked volumes(s)[MYSELF] are breached by [Category_Player]
never seems to work! I have tried to perform really simple actions after this, like giving the player 1 broadhead arrow, but to no avail, so i'm pretty sure that this condition is the root of my problems. Anyone encountered this before?

I'm pretty sure I've used this function, for instance to trigger cut scenes. I remember it being kind of buggy though, as in if you edited the volume after creating it, it would break - try creating a clean volume, ie just from the intial brush.

I know the volumes can be a bit weird, so try with a brand new one - also try making it *not* touch any other BSP. I think that was just a water volume I was having trouble with, but if it touched any other brushes, it just didn't work for some reason.

Yeah, I use that condition a lot in my maps. Like Str8g8 said create a new volume. I use Ctrl-W to close things when I can, but when I did it with volumes they wouldn't work right.
I was trying to do it so the links I had made would all still be on a second volume.

Seconded and thirded and fourthed! I created a script that just flashes up a message when the volume is breached, and connected it to the volumes as I created them. That way I knew whether they were working before I got into the proper scripts.

I often had to create new brushes too, volumes & zone portals especially, because those often get corrupted if you try & resize them.

Hm, thats probably it then, as I do resize my volumes alot. I know i did get this script to work once in the past, for the player to finish my Jailbreak mission, but even in that mission I remember I had to scrap a lot of things I was planning because I could not get volume triggered scripts to work. Thanks guys!
