Correct me if i'm wrong demonseed, but, he wants a trigger_hurt to link to a moving scriptbrushmodel and if you touch the trigger whilst the scriptbrushmodel is moving, if you touch it, you die. The trigger he is currently using is a trigger_use_touch (as he says).

I've had trouble with this as-well, when you move a trigger_hurt with the move command (movex, moveyy, moveyz(or any other movement for that matter)), it loses its damage value and theoretically because a moving trigger with not purpose (theroretical as we don't know its moving or not as we cannot see it).

I tried numerous things with this one and failed. I tried enabling the trigger to link with other things, then link it to the scriptbrushmodel.

That didn't work and i've also tried welding them together, nothing.

Would like to know if you solve this

Also, for a trig_hurt, you need these values/keys for it to hurt somebody.

Key: dmg
Value: #


Where '#' is an integer.

If a trigger_hurt loses its damage when moving, I would approach the problem from a different angle - I would simply give up using trigger_hurt and use a trigger_radius instead and script the damage to the player manually by using radiusdamage(). Just look at iw_07.iwd\maps\mp\_minefields.gsc and customize the code accordingly.

I did a script once for COD2, where a trigger_radius followed a set of node points. If a player touched the trigger at any point while it was moving he was teleported to a Jail model (it was for a version of Liberation gametype). Getting the trigger to move was really easy, and didnt require the use of Linkto(). I just used the moveto() function.

You can link the trigger to the thing that moves though.

...Yes?

i know what you mean but there is a way of simply attaching a trigger_hurt to a moving script brushmodel without it losing its power, it was a simple command called link to or something there was a forum on a different website about it.

All it does is "link" the trigger_hurt to the brushmodel. i no it works because i had it on my other map but my computer when dodgy and had to reformat and lost everything. so im trying to get everything back again and start up modding again that why im asking so many questions.

But the bottom line is there is a simple way to do it.

all it was was connecting the trigger_hurt to the brushmodel without it losing power. using the "enablelinkto" function

something like this

it was something like that although i might of made some blatent mistake as i am rubbish at scripting

actually used to work to solve this problem only problem is the websites gone.

managed to come up with this script idk how it will work but this is along the right lines.

Try this:

main()
{
	thread slidedoor_slider ();
}

slidedoor_slider()
{
	slidedoor = getEnt( "slidedoor", "targetname" );
	trig = getEnt( "slideopen", "targetname" );
	trig EnableLinkto();
	trig Linkto( slidedoor );
	
	while( true )
	{
		trig waittill( "trigger", player );
		
		if( isPlayer( player ) && player isTouching( trig ) )
		{
			slidedoor movez(-64, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
			slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
			
			wait (5);

			slidedoor movez( 64, 2, 0.5, 0.5 );
			slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
		}
	}
}
