Hi again,

just making another map and since it is a fallout vault i`d like to have moving doors. Looked at tutorials here (and others around the web), but somehow i fail to make it move? All tutorials are telling about rotating here and there, and if tutorials about slide, then with ready made prefabs, not with a brush. I`d like to slide the brush up and down.

What i`ve done is:

- made a brush, textured it, gave it targetname door_slide, 2D>dyn>brushmodel
- made a trigger_use around it and named it door_trig
- selected both and pressed W to connect

then i have this as moving script:

main() 
{ 
	thread slidedoor_slider (); 
} 


 
slidedoor_slider() 
{ 
	slidedoor = getent( "door_slide", "targetname" ); 
	trig      = getent( "door_trig", "targetname" ); 
 
	while(true) 
	{ 
		trig waittill ("trigger"); 
		//wait 4; 
		slidedoor movey ( 512.0,-4.0,80.0); 
		slidedoor waittill ("movedone"); 
		wait 4; 
		//trig waittill ("trigger"); 
		slidedoor movey( 512.0,-4.0,64.0); 
		slidedoor waittill ("movedone"); 
	} 
}

The file is in the zone_file and called in the mp_mapname.gsc

The best i could get after several hours of try and error was, that the door remained completely transparent. I mean, it`s there, but i can walk throu it, but i guess that is connected with the error that no physic preset is specified for the dynmodel.

Thanks for any help or ideas :)

The door needs to be a 2D>script>brushmodel. The door needs to be a script brushmodel, NOT a dynamic brushmodel.

When you connect the trigger and door, you need to make sure you select the trigger first, then a piece of the door, then press W to connect them.

main()
{
thread slidedoor_slider ();
}



slidedoor_slider()
{

slidedoor = getent( "door_slide", "targetname" );
trig = getent( "door_trig", "targetname" );

while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
//wait 4;
slidedoor movey ( 512.0,-4.0,80.0);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
wait 4;
//trig waittill ("trigger");
slidedoor movey( 512.0,-4.0,64.0);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
}
}

aw... dumb dumb dumb :D 2D>script>brushmodel of course, thanks, can`t wait to try it

And yes, i have first the trigger, then the door, not sure why i did it that way, but i did. I just felt somehow it would be wrong the other way.

Thanks again to both

Um... is there something i could be missing? I mean, the door moves, but like 1mm per second and it never stops moving :D

... and it moves away from me, not up, but i guess i just change the movey to movez, right? The coords can stay the same, or do they change, when i change the movey to movez? I tried a bit to play around, but got not very smart out of it yet (my first moving door).

Thanks again for any ideas

BTW, does it matter, that the door has to go throu some other brushes or should that not be an issue? I mean, if the door has to have free movement space?

slidedoor movez ( distance,time,acceleration, deceleration);
distance = + or -
time = +
acceleration + deceleration <= time

movez (distance to travel, travel time , acceleration time, deceleration time);

mainly mess with your second input variable to decrease amount of time it takes to move.

keep the number above 0, but close to 0 makes it faster while further away makes it slower.

also the acceleration and deceleration time can not be greater than total time spent traveling.

Tried, fooled around with it for a bit to get a feeling how it`s done and i must say - briliant :) worked just as wanted, thanks again

I can`t believe, that i made all my maps until now without triggers :)

One last add (if someone else may read it later for study like i did)

DO NOT allow other brushes to block the door from movement. It won`t go :) i just spent 4 hours of compiling, debugging iprintln lines and whatnot just to find that one out.

Maybe there is a workaround like making it not solid, but that would obviously loose the point of having a door there, wouldn`t it :D

Umm... not so sure anymore, because it could be connected with the wrong used trigger brush. Tried another door and it went throu the wall like a knife throu butter

here 1 that i used in cod mw for double sliding doors


<sub>main()
{
thread door_start();
}

door_start()
{
doortrigger = getentarray("doortrig","targetname");
for(i=0;i doortrigger thread door_think();
}

door_think()
{
stuff = getentarray(self.target,"targetname");
for(i=0;i {
if(!isDefined(stuff.script_noteworthy))
continue;

if(stuff.script_noteworthy == "g_left_door")
self.left_door = stuff;
else if(stuff.script_noteworthy == "g_right_door")
self.right_door = stuff;
}
self.doorMoving = false;
while (1)
{
self waittill("trigger");
if(!self.doorMoving)
self thread door_move();
}
}

door_move()
{
self.doorMoving = true;
self.right_door movey(31,2,0.5,0.5);
self.left_door moveY(-31,2,0.5,0.5);
wait 3.5;
self.right_door movey(-31,2,0.5,0.5);
self.left_door moveY(31,2,0.5,0.5);
wait 3.5;
self.doorMoving = false;
}</sub>


remember that your brush is .script_noteworthy, named (g_left_door)&(g_right_door) you can use your own name
these are like star trek doors
hope this helps

also if you want malty door though out your map
you will need more scripts like thread door_1(); , thread door_2(); thread door_3(); and each door needs it own brush name


<sub>main()
{
thread door_1();
}

door_1()
{
doortrigger = getentarray("doortrig_1","targetname");
for(i=0;i doortrigger thread door_1_think();
}

door_1_think()
{
stuff = getentarray(self.target,"targetname");
for(i=0;i {
if(!isDefined(stuff.script_noteworthy))
continue;

if(stuff.script_noteworthy == "glass_left_door")
self.left_door = stuff;
else if(stuff.script_noteworthy == "glass_right_door")
self.right_door = stuff;
}
self.doorMoving = false;
while (1)
{
self waittill("trigger");
if(!self.doorMoving)
self thread door_1_move();
}
}

door_1_move()
{
self.doorMoving = true;
self.right_door movex(31,2,0.5,0.5);
self.left_door moveX(-31,2,0.5,0.5);
wait 2.5;
self.right_door movex(-31,2,0.5,0.5);
self.left_door moveX(31,2,0.5,0.5);
wait 2.5;
self.doorMoving = false;
}</sub>
