Star Post Activator
Sector type 4096, Star Post Activator, is a sector type which automatically activates any Star Post in the affected sector once the player enters the sector. This allows players to activate Star Posts without touching them directly. This special is commonly used in Circuit maps to ensure that players cannot accidentally skip a Star Post. However, it can also be used in Single Player maps.
Because the game only associates Star Posts with the in-level sectors they are placed in, the effect cannot be normally used with FOFs. To work around this, place a Star Post inside the FOF's control sector and give it the same Angle as the in-level Star Post. This way, the Star Post in the control sector is activated when the player enters the FOF and the in-level Star Post activates along with it.
