Hey all, I have a problem with one of my elevator's (Multi player map) and have been trying to get it working now for 4 days.... (been driving me mad)

I dont really like asking for help untill im really really stuck, and I am lol.

I have 4 elevator's in my map and the first 3 work fine its the last one that is driving me mad (a rocket looking elevator) I have redone this elevator 3 time's in Radiant thinking I most of fucked something up along the way but its not looking like it, Its something to do with the script (I hope)

Here is the picture of the settings in Radiant

and here is the script's I use for the .iwd
(each elevator has its own script)
elevator 1

main()
{
thread elevator();
}

elevator()
{
elevator=getent("elevator","targetname");
trig=getent("trig_elevator","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (504,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (512,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (514,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (-514,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (-512,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (-504,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
}
}

elevator 2

main()
{
thread elevator2();
}

elevator2()
{
elevator=getent("elevator2","targetname");
trig=getent("trig_elevator2","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (90,1,0.0,0.0);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(0);
elevator movez (-90,1,0.0,0.0);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(10);
}
}

elevator 3

main()
{
thread elevator3();
}

elevator3()
{
elevator=getent("elevator3","targetname");
trig=getent("trig_elevator3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (728,11,0.1,0.1);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(3);
elevator movez (-728,11,0.1,0.1);
elevator waittill ("movedone");

}
}

elevator 4

main()
{
thread elevator4();
}

elevator4()
{
elevator=getent("elevator4","targetname");
trig=getent("trig_elevator4","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (10000,2,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(1);
elevator movez (-10000,1,0.1,0);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
}
} 

and here is the .gsc file

main()
{

	maps\mp\teleportenter::main();
	maps\mp\mp_elevator::main();
	maps\mp\mp_elevator2::main();
	maps\mp\mp_elevator3::main();
	maps\mp\mp_elevator4::main();


game["allies"] = "american";
game["axis"] = "german";
game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";
game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";


}

the trigger for the 4th one shows up when im in the map, but when I go to use it nutin happends, It just wont move. I have tryed changing how high it goes but still nutin
(tryed making others move up more and it works)

I am a noob to this scripting stuff but I really thought I could do it with out asking for help but if anyone could help me with this it would be great.

i think i know the problem not to sure, but next time when u test ur maps run them in /developer 1 or 2, then u could post the error from console now what i think is wronge is the time. u have 2 diffrent times try this,

elevator movez (10000,2,1.9,1.9);

elevator movez (-10000,2,1.9,1.9);

same thing basicly i think this should work.

if this dosnt work then u need to make sure that ur elevator 4 is a brush model and they have the same name in radaint and gsc.

The scripts look fine, maybe you don't have something named right or placed right in the map.

In elevator script 4:

elevator movez (10000,2,1.9,1.9);

In that line you have the time for it to complete its movement set for 2 seconds, but the acceleration speed and de-acceleration times are 1.9. And 1.9 + 1.9 = 3.8, higher than 2, which is causing your problem. Change 2 to something higher than 3.8, or lower those values to add up less than 2.

If you haven't seen it already, to help with any scripting you do later on.

Dont know what to say dudes, Its not working. I even made a mini map with only a 4th elevator in it, didnt work, tryed the scripts from the other elevator's and changed the names to what the 4th one should be and still nutin....


lol -=INSANE=- I thought that had to be it :P

edited: just going to give up on it.... but thanks for the info and the help dudes.

Edited2: think theres something wrong with my radiant I cant make any doors scripts or anything that moves now..... flick!
