Maybe it has a special flag for shooting. You can reset all its flags in Radiant.

Would like to see script and how you have made it (trigger textured brush + are you moving the trigger or just turning it on/off?)
you could also try:
trig setcandamage();
Just to make sure it is accepting damage.

Done.. I unlinked all trigger and make them static but they still wont work with bullets..
The biggest problem is that if i hit it with bullets it doesnt count "Hit" or "Missed".
If i knife it counts the hits and if i do nothing it counts the "Missed" so the trigger seems to noticed the bullets.. o.O

change trigger waittill("trigger", user)
to 'trigger waittill("damage", user)'
And see if that does the trick.
Also, clear all your mod directories into another folder while you test, just in case there is a mod affecting the damage.

sorry.
trigger waittill ("damage", idamage, user)
Btw, that 50 means that the trigger is detecting 50 dmg.

What he means is that only when the damage(one shot, not accumulative) applied is above 50, then the trigger will be triggered. This would for example mean that if regular pistol bullets deal less than 50dmg you won't be able to trigger this at all.
You could try adding a threshold value to the enitity in radiant:
key: threshold
value: 10

I think Rezil is mistaken. Damage triggers are different from hurt triggers. The 'dmg' thing is only supposed for hurt triggers and determines how much it hurts entities on one frame; for damage triggers you should use the key 'threshold'.
But by default, triggers should respond on any damage.

You're right, my mistake. Edited my post to use the proper term.

Maybe someone can get it working on my testmap and tell me how:

One massive problem after a lot of testing, I found your "user.hits" is actually already a built-in variable.
The game resets the hits variable to zero after every bullet misses a player.
So, you hit the target, the map script says "+1" then the game script says "player missed, reset to 0" (this is used for one of the challenges in the stock game)
I have rebuilt the map and code for a look at a neater approach, but your old code will probably work with the adjustment of changing the variable. I suggest taking a look at how I did the mapping for the triggers and how I tied that in to the code using arrays.
