Looking at the script attached to that object when used in the Omentor Temple the changing of the graphic and spawning of the undead appears to be achieved using the command "special_event 8", I don't know if those special events are hard coded or if they are something we will be able to script in the official editor but it doesn't look like you can accomplish it using the current one.
Special events are little bits of hard-coded goodness. The one in Omentor probably spawns the undead, closes some gates, and shows the message about not taking their gem. Not sure why it couldn't have been written without a special event, honestly. Here's my best guess at what the special events in Book III are:
1. Baptism in fire effect. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside Moonrise.
2. Opens the passage through the trees to Baizel's dungeon. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
3. Unused. Makes mouse cursor disappear
4. Unused. Sleep in your own bed from Book II
5. Destroys the clam container after taking Crux of Terra. Not sure how it's called, though.
6. Runs after talking to Erubor when leaving Akadai underground, unknown effect
7. Ulgolek gives you a branch
8. Undead spawn when you take the crystal in Omentor. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
9. Creates/removes path through the lava in Omentor. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
10. Drink sparkling divinity
11. Explosion when you kill Baelgar in Moonrise Underground. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
12. Sets the random combination for the Wizardtorium the first time you enter the Oceana Lowlands map. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
13. Shows Karamiklan animation
14. Lucky's gambling mini-game
15. Daedrotha death trap - 100 damage explosion
16. Karamiklan breathes fire. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
17. Lets you pick a side in the final battle. Depending on your choice, teleports you to a location and spawns final battle NPCs. Happens at specific coordinates, so difficult to use outside its home map.
18. Xaphus killed, show Malkur win graphic if you sided with him
19. Malgaelor killed, show Erubor win graphic if you sided with him
20. Show dialog between Karamiklan, Malkur, and Erubor. Afterward, main display goes blank.
