He's in luck. I've already created a mod that can do this: BTME. The mod has an actor called InventoryConfigurationTrigger. The actor can be configured to change the players inventory. It's possible to attach this actor to regular trigger-actors, ZoneInfo-actors and possibly NavigationPoint-actors.

Al has all kinds of embedded custom code in actors all over the map. He's not a big fan of external mods and he (and Titled) will very often script stuff and just attach it to existing actors like triggers. I'd helped him fix various stuff but stopped hearing from him a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe he had dropped away again so this release is a bit of a surprise. He's been working on this for a few years off and on, it's nice to be able to talk about it publicly.

Have you fought a tank yet? <Boom!>
