Put this in the On Activation Trigger:

Playername dofire hostagename

BTW: If you have him in an EffectStand animation then you will have to write:

Playername switchmove "EffectStandNull"

Though I'm not too sure on the second one. Try looking at one of the tutorials here. But thats basically how it works.

There is lots on this forum about hostage situations, have a good hunt using the forum search function.

There are several ways of achieving what you want, depending on the precise circumstances.    Probably the easiest way, if you want him shot by the guards, is to make him on the opposite side and write

this setCaptive true

in his init field.   Then, in your detection trigger (and assuming you have named him loon1) have this

On Activation:   loon1 setCaptive false

As long as the guards can see him they will shoot him.

Dofire is usually best preceded by a dotarget command:  however, coded commands like this only work on AI controlled units, not human controlled ones.
