Explain to me how this works *spoilers?*

[tyranius]

So basically I was messing with the level editor and was looking at the Daniel's Room map. It's the one where you get the key behind a frame, you have to smash a little glass bottle to get this key.

Well, there's a trigger in this map to spawn a monster after you read a note (or after you pick up the key, can't remember which). Anyways, what I want to know is, how do I know what triggers the monster to appear? I mean, clicking on the monster gives me no clue as to what triggers it.

Thanks in advance!

Scripting.

And how do I edit scripts?

Try to visit wiki, and see how Frictional Games made them. They're in .hps files with same name of map, like test.map & test.hps

Ok, I found the hps files. What scripting language is that? Sounds pretty simple to script your own stuff.

It's AngelScript I believe... the syntax is pretty much like C and you can find all the available functions on the wiki. Just open the .hps files in notepad and you're ready to go.
