Is it possible to create a mobile trigger?
By "mobile trigger" a mean a fixed area around a character regardless of his position.
If the player leaves that trigger a script fires that kills the player. The script is no problem but triggers are normally set in areas and not for creatures.

You could do that with a pseudo-heartbeat event that checks the distance between the character and the player.

An Area of Effect (AOE) applied to a creature is the correct way to address this issue. An AOE acts very much like a static trigger except that they are created at runtime and can be applied to moving objects.

An AOE has the same ENTER and EXIT event types as a trigger however there is an important difference: the event creator (returned by GetEventCreator) is not the object that triggered the event but rather the object that created the AOE effect (the oCreator parameter in ApplyEffectOnObject and Engine_ApplyEffectOnObject). To get the object that triggered the event you must use GetEventTarget.

When you create an AOE you specify the effect's id (which corresponds to a row in the AOE 2DA file which in turn determines its shape and size); the script it should use to handle its events; and, if you like, a visual effect (VFX) to be displayed.

I've thrown together some notes which you can download from my website. They are a little rough just now so if you have (or anyone else has) any questions let me know. Once the Friendly Toolset Initiative has worked its magic I'll expand them into a proper tutorial for the new toolset wiki.

Thanks, Sunjammer.

You are a god

I'll study your notes and give you credit on my mod.
