About the script:
I used the default trigger in 1.5 to make this script. It spawns a
health item when you enter the trigger and deletes the health item
when you leave the trigger. This could be changed to display a sign
on the screen or something like that. I used the health item because
it already existed in 1.5. Its something quick and simple, it could
be done different ways of course, I just through this together kinda
quick.


Here is the code:

You need to save it as 'healthKitTrigger.cs' in the server folder.
And then add exec("./healthKitTrigger.cs"); in game.cs.
