Why isn't it efficient? It seems to be exactly what he wants...

playername, tried your but i get this error:

anyone? :/

brush_model = getent("brushname","targetname");
trigg = getent("triggername","targetname");
trigg enablelinkto();
trigg linkto(brush_model);

lol its depending off course where the origin of the brush_model is
because the trigger will center it self on that origin

somehow you dont have a script_brushmodel like you would think for you to move something and something on the field isnt an object. So i think you have to make it a script_brushmodel for it to work.

you need to remember that if you don't have a origin texture part of the trigger, it's origin is at 0 0 0. So technically you have to do something like.

brush_model = getent("brushname","targetname");
trigg = getent("triggername","targetname");

trigg.origin = (0, 0, 0) - brush_model.origin;

Nope, not working at all.

Isnt it possible to delete() the trigger and then re_spawn them 1000 yards ahead on the x-axis or at a origin?.

Only a trigger_radius, as you cant dynamically spawn any other type of trigger without a lot of scripting (i.e. it can be done, but it takes a lot of scripting). However, I have found the good ol' trigger_radius does everything any other trigger does with the right script - it can damage (using radiusdamage()) like a trigger_damage; it can trigger multiple times like a trigger_multiple; and it can be "used" like a trigger_use. So, why not use a trigger_radius? That way you can reposition it over and over again, just remember to delete() the original once a new one has been created, otherwise you will quickly run out of spawnable entities and your map wont load.

To give you an idea how it can be done, here is a script function I created for a COD2 mod I made:

init()
{
	if( level.gametype != "ctf" ) return;
	
	level.axis_flag_pos = cvardef( "ctf_axis_flag", "", "", "", "string" );
	level.allied_flag_pos = cvardef( "ctf_allies_flag", "", "", "", "string" );

	level thread reSetFlags();
}

reSetflags()
{
	
	if( level.axis_flag_pos != "" )
	{
		axis_original = getEnt( "axis_flag", "targetname" );
		
		new_origin = getcoords( level.axis_flag_pos );
		addobj( "axis_flag", new_origin, axis_original.angles );

		if( isdefined( axis_original ) )
			axis_original delete();
	}

	if( level.allied_flag_pos != "" )
	{
		allied_original = getEnt( "allied_flag", "targetname" );
		
		new_origin = getcoords( level.allied_flag_pos );
		addobj( "allied_flag", new_origin, allied_original.angles );

		if( isdefined( allied_original ) )
			allied_original delete();
	}
}

addobj( name, origin, angles )
{
   ent = spawn( "trigger_radius", origin, 0, 48, 148 );
   ent.targetname = name;
   ent.angles = angles;
}

getcoords( dvar )
{
	array = StrTok( dvar, "," );

	coords = ( int( array[0] ), int( array[1] ), int( array[2] )-60 );

	return coords;
}

Its job was to re-position the CTF triggers when a map had bad posistions for the flags.

First, you set up the new coordinates by going into the map, finding the posistions of the flags that YOU thought were right, and dropping down console and doing /viewpos.

Then you leave the server, grab the console_mp.log file, find the 2 instances of /viewpos and copy the coordinates. These then went into your config file. Something like this:

set ctf_axis_flag "234,-123,1436"
set ctf_allies_flag "6754,-123,1432"

When you reloaded the map, the flag triggers (i.e. trigger_radius) were moved to those new coordinates, and the old triggers deleted.

Credit for the getcoords() function above goes to Lion, from his AGE mod for COD2.

The point of the above example - notice how I simply spawn a new trigger_radius and then delete() the old one. I dont move it at all (I tried that method, with a hundred different variations, and whereas some of them worked, the amount of scripting to get them to work properly was just too inefficient, so I went with the simpler method instead).

Thanks Demon!

Ill try it when i get back home and can use radiant again (going way for a few days).
