if you have played cod black ops you will have noticed the conveyor belt in radiation i need that in cod4

Maybe if you ask somewhere nicely what you want, you might get some help

Make an escalator with sloped stairs, should get a similar effect

Interesting Q in fact, as this conveyor belt in BO is not that simple to make, or maybe it is... I think the way its done is using a scrolling texture for the belt moving effect and the players triggers something that makes him move up top when on the belt...ill check the scripts to see if anything in there.

OK, here is the script Treyarch used in mp_radiation for the conveyor belt:

//Starts a thread to alter player's velocity as long as they're in the trigger
conveyer_belt_init()
{
	//Need to set dvar to determine force of momentum in trigger
	set_dvar_int_if_unset( "scr_coveyer_speed", 45 );
	
	conveyer_trigger = getent_and_assert("coveyer_trig");
	
	//The trigger targets a script struct. The struct contains angles to determine the force direction.
	trigger_struct = getstruct_and_assert(conveyer_trigger.target);
	
	//Find direction that my trigger is pointed toward
	trigger_angles = AnglesToForward(trigger_struct.angles);
	
	//Create intensity of conveyer force equal to my script DVar. Store it on my trigger for a seperate function to use.
	conveyer_trigger._conveyer_vector = vector_scale(trigger_angles,GetDvarInt( #"scr_coveyer_speed"));
	
  while(1)
	{	
		conveyer_trigger waittill("trigger", player);
		if(IsPlayer(player))
		{
	  	conveyer_trigger thread trigger_thread(player, ::player_on_conveyer);
	  }
	  
	  wait .05;
	}	
}

//Self is trigger. Function is ran when player jumps into the trigger.
player_on_conveyer(player, endon_string)
{
	player endon ("death");
	player endon ("disconnect");
	player endon(endon_string);
	
	while(1)
	{
		player_velocity = player GetVelocity();
		
		//Don't want jumping player to be pulled by conveyer 
		if (player IsOnGround())
		{
			//Gives player momentum in the direction of the conveyer equal to a dvar I created earlier along with their own momentum
			player SetVelocity(player_velocity + self._conveyer_vector);
		}

		wait .05;	
	}
}

So as i thought, the belt is a scrolling texture, there is a trigger_multiple around it and player gets "pulled" when touching it. They use the Player Velocity function to do that, not sure if avail in COD4/CODWAW, might give it a go later!

thanks

scrolling texture??? is it available in cod4

Of course, in all COD. Check the option in the Asset manager when converting your texture (yes you will need to create one). I havent had the time yet to try this but i will!

in all COD? im looking in the cod2 asset_manager and i dont see anything about scrolling texture? where would it be exactly? i never even heard of this and now im interested lol.

Very strange, i can see the Texture Scroll option for COD2 in the Deffiles for materials:

	checkbox( texScroll )
	[
		exec
		{
			visible( materialType == "model phong" && blendFunc != "Add" )
			righttext()
			height( 15 )
			label( "Texture Scroll" )
		}
	]

Yet i cant get it to show in Assman.....im pretty sure you can in COD2.
