In my map it looks like I've got no choice but to add in a damage region via LUA script. I just have one question:

Damage Regions
Name Prefix : damage
Parameters : key=value, key matched to minimum number of characters
damagerate=<float>
Damage per second applied to objects that enter the region
personscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is a person
animalscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is an animal
droidscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is a droid
vehiclescale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is a vehicle
buildingscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is a building
buildingdeadscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is a dead building
buildingunbuiltscale=<float>
Scales the damage if the object in the region is an undamaged building


I dont understand what exactly is the bolded text is asking for.

The Parameters line I think is the same as we see in the odfs in that it just says the following lines are the...well...parameters. Key=value is the basic setup for all of the parameters you set. That last bit has me a bit thrown off, though. I'm not exactly sure what it means.

I don't understand why you can't just put it in via ZeroEdit.

Because you don't begin to choke and die until the Life Support system is destroyed. AND DamageRegions don't seem to be affected by RemoveRegion() and DeactivateRegion()

are they affected by ActivateRegion("")?
oh and this is some stuff from DS that might help, just maybe, not sure
function TrashStuff()

trash_open = 1
trash_closed = 0

trash_timer = CreateTimer("trash_timer")
SetTimerValue(trash_timer, 7)
StartTimer(trash_timer)
trash_death = OnTimerElapse(
function(timer)
if trash_open == 1 then
AddDeathRegion("deathregion")
SetTimerValue(trash_timer, 5)
StartTimer(trash_timer)
trash_closed = 1
trash_open = 0
print("death region added")

DeathRegion and DamageRegion are two completely different things.

yeah, but i thought maybe just something would come out of it
