Description

A very simple 'Secret Object' heartbeat script that can do two things; either make a non-static and non-usable object usable, or spawn in a hidden object from a blueprint. Use it as the heartbeat script of either the non-usable object (to make it usable when found), or use an Ipoint to spawn something in from scratch.

The test module includes three searches:

A rock placeable that is non-static, non-usable (so it doesn't highlight using the Z key) and has collison on so that it blocks a hidden doorway. A successful search causes it to become usable, so you can 'talk' to it and choose to destroy it via a conversation.

A non-static, non-usable collision-on tapestry that hides a doorway behind it. Finding it makes it usable and bashable. A second Kill/Replace script then replaces the 'dead' tapestry with a non-clip damaged version, revealing the doorway behind it.

A completely hidden lever that will spawn at an Ipoint location with a successful search check.
