I'm scripting my first trapdoor, using this tut http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-479.html

nullmapsmp_load::main();

2nd) Copy paste this script into a new text file and name it _door.gsc then save it in your maps/mp folder.


main()
{
*map stuff here*

doortriggers = getentarray("doortrig","targetname");
for(i=0;i<doortriggers.size;i++)
doortriggers[i] thread door_think();
}

door_think()

so, the question is what is "map stuff"?

Thank you,

That would the code that sets your minimap and player types

like -

main()
{
	maps\mp\mp_mymap_fx::main();
	maps\createart\mp_mymap_art::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();	
	
	maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_test5");

	//setExpFog(500, 2200, 0.81, 0.75, 0.63, 0);
	//VisionSetNaked( "mp_test5" );
	ambientPlay("ambient_test5_ext");

	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "opfor";
	game["attackers"] = "axis";
	game["defenders"] = "allies";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";

	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

	setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".25");
	setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".25");
	setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");
	setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800");
}

Hmm, I see people have started to use my way of scripting ^^

Okay, so just open mymap.gsc and copy everything and paste it to the top of _door.gsc?

I'm having the same issue....followed the tut to the letter but the door doesn't open. I'm also not sure what "map stuff" actually means. I wouldn't think its the same as what's in the mymapname.gsc. If anyone has working _door.gsc file....I sure would appreciate seeing it.

Thanks!

Take the first post, and Replace the words in the script that says "map stuff here" with .KiLL3R.'s code box.

That is what = map stuff, what he has in the code box.

Thanks Deek....I've been working on this for a couple of day now to no avail.

I've been trying to use what you did in this post but its still not working:

What is working and what isn't working?

If you have errors, post them, otherwise let me know what is going wrong.

Ok....I've made some progress. I made the trigger "trigger_use" (had been using "trigger_use_touch"). Finally I got it to work and made the door work going both directions. Oh, I am getting an error about missing sounds....how do I add them? One more thing....how do I reduce the time the door is open?

BTW....thanks so much Deek for your help. I'm no scripter and appreciate your help on these matters.

The sounds are semi-complicated for someone who never did them, you want to PM me a chat handle to make this easier?

Ok, I zipped up a default soundalias, and wooden door sounds and metal door sounds that you can use for the script.
