Hey guys another problem...

So I don't get the damn sounds working so I decided to make it on another (and in my opionion better way) with text messages!

So far so good. All works fine WITH 1 message but I I have a problem...
I want that the message1 comes when I activate the elevator and message2 when I activate the elevator a second time (And this everytime)
But I don't get it work I try some things but now it's only the "start script"

So I added the "waittill" function but what then? Is there some way to say the game "Only if the trigger was activated 2 times you start with your message"

Hope somebody can help me

Cya


main()

{
level.elevatorDown = true;
level.elevatorMoving = false;
thread elevator_start();
thread message1();
thread message2();
}

elevator_start() {
elevator = getentarray ("mytrigger1","targetname");
if ( isdefined(elevator) )
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++)
elevator thread elevator_think();
}

elevator_think() {
while (1) {
self waittill ("trigger");
if (!level.elevatorMoving)
thread elevator_move();
}
}

elevator_move() {
elevatormodel = getent ("mybrushmodel1", "targetname");
level.elevatorMoving = true;
speed = 2;
height = 92;
wait (6);
if (level.elevatorDown) { // moves to top
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1");
wait (1);
elevatormodel moveZ (height, speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else { // moves to bottom
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1");
wait (1);
elevatormodel moveZ (height - (height * 2), speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}

message1()
{
messagetrig = getent ("mytrigger1","targetname"); messagetrig waittill ("trigger");
iprintlnbold ("The Arena was activated");

iprintlnbold ("aaa1");
wait (1);
iprintlnbold ("aaa2");
wait (1);
iprintlnbold ("aaa3");
wait (1);
iprintlnbold ("aaa4");
wait (1);

iprintlnbold ("TEXT5");
thread message1();
}

message2()
{
message2 waittill ("mytrigger1");
messagetrig = getent ("mytrigger1","targetname"); messagetrig waittill ("trigger");
iprintlnbold ("xxx1");

iprintlnbold ("xxx2");
wait (1);
iprintlnbold ("xxx3");
wait (1);

iprintlnbold ("xxx4");
thread message2();
}

Nobody??? Come on guys :D

This is not to hard or?

not saying this is exactly what you will have in the end...but i am going to ramble off a script here - it should give you an idea - then you need to implement it into your own script

Code:

trigger_counter () { get_trigger = getent ("mytrigger1","targetname"); t_counter = 0; get_trigger waitill ("trigger"); t_counter = t_counter++; if (t_counter == 1) thread play_message1; if (t_counter == 2) thread play_message2; }

the above script isnt perfect, but it should give you an idea of how to proceed

Oh that's a good thing I think ;)

How you "Scripting Guys" get ideas like that???

btw I have another question:

Anyway to move a trigger hurt like a elevator? :D

Cya

i havent played with this...but you "may" be able to move a trigger using scripting, by getting the trigger origin, then moving it the same as a script_brushmodel
