ok, i'm noob at scripting, that's why I'm asking you guys for help. Ok here's my idea, I wanna make a script, that if you shoot a texture in, a gate opens.

Now i have a texture named Mushroom, and I placed it in my (test) map. I right clicked on it @ 2D view and made it a Trigger_damage. Then i made the gate and made it a Script_brushmodel.

Mushroom texture:
Classname: Trigger_Damage
Targetname: Mushroom

Gate:
Classname: Script_Brushmodel
Targetname: Gate

Now I made this script (which is obvious wrong):



I used a diff script to make this one, and forgot to change the movements, but i can do that later.

Then I compiled my map, and when I shot the Mushroom, the gate didn't open?

Can anybody please help me?

Thx!

scripting is not my forte' but it seems to me that you have to have the trigger activated. You can do this by making the trigger damage as you did but then give it a value to trigger when it's shot. The accumulate works for this:

Key: accumulate
value: 20 /or something like that

and then check off what weapons will work with it. Then when the trigger is shot it will start the process you have in your waittill.

I hope that's right

NuuuuUU!

A trigger MUST HAVE the trigger texture. Make another brush around ya mushroom or w/e and get it the targetname "trig_mush"

main()
{
	thread gate();
}

gate()
{
            trigger = getent("trig_mush","targetname")
	while(1)
	{
		trigger waittill("trigger", user)

		user iPrintLnBold ("^2Access Granted");
		wait 0.5;
		gate rotateYaw (-90, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
		gate waittill("rotatedone");
		wait 5;
		gate rotateYaw (90, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
		gate waittill ("rotatedone");
	}
}

you need a gate and a trigger brush. and if i'm not mistaken, it should be trigger waittill("damage"); and not "trigger"

OK thx for the replies, but it still doesn't work.

Here's what I did.

I selected the trigger texture from ''common'' and made a trigger in front of the mushroom, and made it a trigger_damage surface or entity or whatever its called, targetname: trigger_mush, after pressing enter, I pressed escape to deselect.

Then I selected the gate, and made it a script_brushmodel, targetname: gate.

Then I copied oppdelta's script, and followed Sevenz instruction, so I replaced trigger waittill ("trigger") to trigger waittill ("damage")

I made a .pk3 map, and put it in maps/mp, called trigger_mush.gsc

Then I tested my map, shot to the Mushroom, but nothing happened?
s
Should I ''connect'' the Mushroom and the Gate together? Or did I do anything wrong at scripting? Here's my script.



I hope you know how to fix.

Thx!

GRRRR... Maybe on COD4/5 It's "damage" but on vCOD it's "trigger"


Put it back to my way >.>

Oh i forgot to add somthign to the script, use this.

main()
{
thread gate();
}

gate()
{
trigger = getent("trigger_mush","targetname");
gate = getent("gate","targetname");
while(1)
{
trigger waittill("trigger", user);

user iprintlnbold ("^2Access Granted");
wait .5;
gate rotateYaw (-90, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
gate waittill("rotatedone");
wait 5;
gate rotateYaw (90, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
gate waittill ("rotatedone");
}
}

ok "trigger", i don't really know vCoD

but the problem is obvious:

targetname: trigger_mush

trigger = getent("trig_mush","targetname")

It says: Script Compile Error.
The error in console is: bad syntax.

This is what I did.

I selected the Mushroom, then I made it a trigger_damage
I deselected, and made a common trigger brush around it, and made it a trigger_damage too.

I selected both entities, and entered this:

classname: trigger_damage
targetname: trigger_mush

Then I compiled map, no errors yet.

After that I made a .GSC file with this script:



And put it in my maps/mp folder of my .pk3 file.

But when I tried to test it, it failed?

Should the gate be a Script_brushmodel?

Thanks for the help!

Can anybody make me a test map? Like a .pk3 file with the .map file included where you show how it works?

I mean like you quickly make some brushes, doesnt have to be a gate and a mushroom but just some examples, and quickly follow the right instructions and send me?

If so, thank you so much!

if is wasn't clear enough
you missed "ger" in the script:

trigger = getent("trigger_mush","targetname");

if it doesn't accept while(1), which shouldn't happen, use for(;;) instead

missing semicolon:
trigger waittill("trigger", user);

i don't think you can call iprintlnbold on a player entity, but idk vcd that well
user iprintlnbold ("^2Access Granted");
