well, i tried to make an elevator using the tutorial, and im 99 percent sure that i've done everything right (then again that 1 percent could get me)
in the thing im supposed to add to my .gsc file, there is a script compile error with the line
level.elevatorDown = true;

it says bad syntax, and this is exactly what it says to have in the tutorial. Who's wrong, me or the tutorial?
Also, how could i fix this problem?
thanks
brave

maybe use false in stat of true?

Ok, post the .gsc you are using, and are you having your elevator start at the top or bottom?

Thanks,

Supersword

it might be the line before that which has the error... Post your entire .gsc file, maybe we can fix it.

here it is:
main()
{
setCullFog (0, 8000, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_mp_chateau");

maps\mp\_load::main();

game["allies"] = "british";
game["axis"] = "german";

game["british_soldiertype"] = "commando";
game["british_soldiervariation"] = "winter";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "wehrmacht";
game["german_soldiervariation"] = "winter";

game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";

game["layoutimage"] = "";

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

elevator_start() {
elevator = getentarray ("elevatorswitch","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 ("elevatormodel", "targetname");
level.elevatorMoving = true;
speed = 2;
height = 192;
wait (1);
if (level.elevatorDown) {
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1");
wait (1);
elevatormodel moveZ (344,7,2,2);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else {
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1");
wait (1);
elevatormodel moveZ (-344,7,2,2);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}

Remove the } above the level.elevatorDown = true;. Because that } close your main() function.
