What I did was make a invis. weapon that shot a Proj. called " USEAMMO".
And the weapon was called WorldUse.
You cant see the "weapon" or "bullet"in game but when it shot it would damage any actopr that had th attribute " USE". Just the icon used. I used a hand pointing.
In the script it would run it's " In_ USE" command when it's life reached 0.
Takes a little to get the "USEAMMO" boxsize set to you desire.
And for the boxsize on the actor. I just set the Boxsize to fit the desired " HotSpot" I need for the specific situation.
Heres a script I used for a 6 button combo needed to turn the gears on for a bridge to be created.

The scripting Gurus or yourself may be able to simplify this script.
But for me it worked. And take my word for it. If it works Leave it.. LOL.
I also think a update of RF does have some mouse commands added in now. I my self havnt attempted using these as of yet. This worked great in it's day.
As for having a close up shot. I made a small version for the player to simply activate. Then in a new area I set a Cam on a detailed verstion of the keypad. In the script I set the cam. A simple teleport player command
or teleport self deal. With a simple text appear in the Lower-center of the screen thatc says "Back" If hit teleport player back to posistion.
Ur set. Works rather well if I dont say so myself....
Anyway. Good Luck. Hope I helped somewhat.
