Hey! I know you cannot move a trigger like a brusmodel, you you can change his origin right? In my map I got moving a brush, and with this for I would like to "move" the origin with the brush. Code: for(;;) { trig.origin = movingbrush.origin; iprintlnbold("for running"); wait .3; } But when the movingbrush starts moving, the trigger disapears. It does not stay at the position and does not follow the brush and does not appear at the end position of the brush. Is my script wrong? I dont know why this happens... Greetings

Um, how do you actually see triggers in game? So how do you know that it disappears? It might have moved somewhere else. That code is limited. I don't think trig.origin be equal to movingbrush.origin. I haven't tested it but you can give your trigger a targetname name and use the move function. Or use the teleport function. I never tried it but you can try it. Or just delete the trigger and create a new one.

Try something like Code: brushEnt = getEnt( "movingbrush", "targetname" ); // name of brush you linking trigger too trigEnt = getEnt( "movingtrigger", "targetname" ); // name of trigger trigEnt linkTo( brushEnt );

And you can't move a trigger like a brushmodel, you get an error.

trigEnt = getEnt( "movingtrigger", "targetname" ); // name of trigger
trigEnt linkTo( brushEnt );

The same, if you link it to the moving brush, it moves too, and this is not supported:

Code:

******* script runtime error *******
entity (classname: 'trigger_use_touch') does not currently support linkTo: (file 'maps/mp/mp_parlament.gsc', line 197)
 trig linkTo ( cockpit );

Greetings Judging from the source code, you could be better of by detecting the press of the usebutton, and a hud element showing ppl have to press F

But this distance from the origin is in all axis the same (x, y, z), and I don't know if it's possible to set a different distance on the different axis (the thing is a plane, so it's long). Is it possible?

Well, like I said before, you can also create 2 triggers and delete the first one.

But then the trigger does not move, it deletes itself, and at the end of the move then appears a new one... I prefer to use Hud element and the UseButtonPressed, but then I need to control this different distances of the different axis.

You may need to add an origin brush to the trigger, otherwise the game assumes its origin is at (0,0,0). Check out the sd_bombtrigger.map file in radient to see how to create one. This is a moveable use trigger for defusing the bomb in S&D.
