hallo all I am making a ferris wheel with scripts.
I'm having a bit of a problem..

this is the Tutorial script im trying to use for the movement of the baskets http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-475.html

main()
{
Patanosta thread Patanosta_Move();
}
Patanosta_Move()
{
Patanosta = getent ("patanosta","targetname");
while (1)
{
Targ1 = getent(self.target,"targetname");
Targ2 = getent(Targ1.target,"targetname");
Targ3 = getent(Targ2.target,"targetname");
Targ4 = getent(Targ3.target,"targetname");
Targ5 = getent(Targ4.target,"targetname");
Targ6 = getent(Targ5.target,"targetname");
Targ7 = getent(Targ6.target,"targetname");
Targ8 = getent(Targ7.target,"targetname");
Targ9 = getent(Targ8.target,"targetname");
Targ10 = getent(Targ9.target,"targetname");
Targ11 = getent(Targ10.target,"targetname");
Targ12 = getent(Targ11.target,"targetname");
Targ13 = getent(Targ12.target,"targetname");
Targ14 = getent(Targ13.target,"targetname");
Targ15 = getent(Targ14.target,"targetname");
Targ16 = getent(Targ15.target,"targetname");
Targ17 = getent(Targ16.target,"targetname");
Targ18 = getent(Targ17.target,"targetname");
Targ19 = getent(Targ18.target,"targetname");
Targ20 = getent(Targ19.target,"targetname");
Targ21 = getent(Targ20.target,"targetname");
Targ22 = getent(Targ21.target,"targetname");
Targ23 = getent(Targ22.target,"targetname");
Targ24 = getent(Targ23.target,"targetname");

while (1)
{
self moveto (targ1.origin,20);
Targ1 moveto (targ2.origin,20);
Targ2 moveto (targ3.origin,20);
Targ3 moveto (targ4.origin,20);
Targ4 moveto (targ5.origin,20);
Targ5 moveto (targ6.origin,20);
Targ6 moveto (targ7.origin,20);
Targ7 moveto (targ8.origin,20);
Targ8 moveto (targ9.origin,20);
Targ9 moveto (targ10.origin,20);
Targ10 moveto (targ11.origin,20);
Targ11 moveto (targ12.origin,20);
Targ12 moveto (targ13.origin,20);
Targ13 moveto (targ14.origin,20);
Targ14 moveto (targ15.origin,20);
Targ15 moveto (targ16.origin,20);
Targ16 moveto (targ17.origin,20);
Targ17 moveto (targ18.origin,20);
Targ18 moveto (targ19.origin,20);
Targ19 moveto (targ20.origin,20);
Targ20 moveto (targ21.origin,20);
Targ21 moveto (targ22.origin,20);
Targ22 moveto (targ23.origin,20);
Targ23 moveto (self.origin,20);
Targ23 waittill ("movedone");
}
}

the error im getting is

unexpected end of file found: (file 'maps/mp/patanosta_move.gsc', line 63)


I don't get whats wrong with it I thought I needed the last basket added

Targ23 moveto (targ24.origin,20);
Targ24 moveto (self.origin,20);
Targ24 waittill ("movedone");

but I still get the same error so now im lost and confused. any help would be greet ty.

Go back to the tutorial and check the script there.

Your script has a number of parts missing - all the code is all required.

LOL working now, I was trying to put the script into its own .gsc but failed trying :p

I put it into the main .gsc and works fine ty again

Plus, you have 3x { open but are only closing 2 of them

} x2

Add a third } to the end of the script, it shud stop that error. But as pedro says, check the other script for the other parts to the script.

chears for your replys. Its working great, just need to add a 2nd script to get the frame to move with the baskets :D

anyone know a script I can use to make the frame move? I can't find one anywhere that would work..

I was going to use something like this.
http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-566.html

I edited it so now it looks like this

main()
{
thread frame_rotate();
}
frame_rotate()
{
frame = getent("frame", "targetname");
while (1)
{
frame rotateyaw(360, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);
frame waittill("rotatedone");
}
}

problem is I don't have a clue about scripting lol and im not even sure what I have is even right.

As far as I can see the script you have should work fine. As long as you put a brush with the origin texture on it in the center of the frame and selected everything when you made it a script_brushmodel, it should spin around that origin.

I would just change:
frame rotateyaw(360, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);

to

frame rotateyaw(360, 20); (Change the 20 to whatever time it takes for one of the baskets to complete a rotation)

That way it takes the same amount of time for the frame complete a full rotation as it does for a basket.

It's been a while since i've done anything, so hopefully what I'm saying works / is correct haha

lolz script works... just not the way needed :P http://www.xfire.com/video/30a0b7/

anyone know what I need changed, to get it going the right way?

You need to change the rotateYaw to: rotateRoll or rotatePitch

Roll moves it on the x axis and Pitch moves it on the Z axis from what i remember.

Btw, nice ferris wheel, looks really detailed

thanks dude for the rotateRoll / rotatePitch works great now, and ty for the compliment. looks more detail than there is :p

It does go off from the baskets a wee bit but should last upto 30mins without anyone seeing it lol

another thanks to all the other replys :D
