Scripting: track hits on a static object?

[mailleweaver]

I want to track how many times any junk car is hit with a Steelsaw and add scrap metal when the hit counter reaches a given threshold. My original idea was to attach the script to the cars and have a Begin OnHitWith DLC01SteelSaw block, but then I found out that static objects can't be scripted. Is there a way to do this the other way around -- script the Steelsaw to track what it hits and increment the counter when it hits a car? I'd rather not replace every car in the world with an activator to make them scriptable.
