Post subject:	Script depending on other script
Is it possible to have a script that depends on another one? Like, if script A results in 'true', it would trigger Script B (Which is a completely different .lua file that is attached to a different emitter/particle/actor/whatever). If it is possible, then i'd like to know how. PS. I can do this in rather hacky ways, but i'm asking if there's a direct way to do it.

Yes, but a global variable would be changed by each instance of the object; say you had a screen that would only work if there's an antenna for it. If someone built one antenna that has global variable "showscreens" then any screen on the map is going to be lit up. So you could do a global list, and find a partner within that list (see: teleporters, etc) or you can use mail's increasingly insane workarounds.

Well, I already did what I needed to do with some hackyness.
