*'''Method A''': Add the properties <tt>ForceSpawnEventScripts</tt> or <tt>ForceDamageEventScripts</tt> in the [[zdoom:GameInfo_definition|GameInfo Definition]]. This helps if you want all actors to execute these events. Note that using this method in the case of '''GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED''', actors with the <tt>NOBLOCKMAP</tt> or <tt>NOSECTOR</tt> flags still won't execute the event. This way, only the non-trivial actors are accounted for. | *'''Method A''': Add the properties <tt>ForceSpawnEventScripts</tt> or <tt>ForceDamageEventScripts</tt> in the [[zdoom:GameInfo_definition|GameInfo Definition]].
