Hi All.

Not really a confusion, more of a curiosity laced with a hint of "how the hell?"

ok, is it at all possible to make doors that open slower? I have opening doors, but they seem to be "open" in a blink of the eye, and I vaguely remember seeing doors on a map that open slowly.

the code I am using is:

main()
{


doortriggers = getentarray("doortrig","targetname");
for(i=0;i doortriggers thread door_think();
}

door_think()
{
self.doormoving = false;
self.doorclosed = true;
self.doormodel = getent(self.target, "targetname");

while (1)
{
self waittill("trigger");
if(!self.doormoving)
self thread door_move();
}
}

door_move()
{
self.doormoving = true;
if(self.doorclosed)
{
self.doormodel rotateyaw(-90,1,0.5,0.5);
self.doormodel waittill("rotatedone");
self.doorclosed = false;
}
else
{
self.doormodel rotateyaw(90,1,0.5,0.5);
self.doormodel waittill("rotatedone");
self.doorclosed = true;
}
self.doormoving = false;
}

-----

Also (and I cant get my head around this: How do you do sliding doors? I have looked over many forums, and have found this:

main()
{
thread slidedoor_slider ();
}

slidedoor_slider()
{
slidedoor = getent( "slidedoor", "targetname" );
trig = getent( "slidetrig", "targetname" );

while(true)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
//wait 4;
slidedoor movey ( -64, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
wait 4;
//trig waittill ("trigger");
slidedoor movey( 64, 2, 0.5, 0.5);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
}
}

Would I be correct in thinking that this would work? if I am wrong can someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanx

-90 <--- is The y value to move the entity to, as a floating point number


1 <--- The time to move the entity in seconds. This is wat you want to change for slower doors more time added.


0.5<--- The time spent accelerating in seconds


0.5<--- The time spent decelerating in seconds

please use this as a reference guide for future questions u might have, as it comes in very handy:

goodl luck

Excellent reply. Thank you very much.

It's just what i needed to know, and something for future ref.

Much appreciated.

your welcome. theres also a version so u can dl that and keep in ur desktop w/o going online. dont remember where i got it but yea theres one out there. If u cant find me let me know ill be more than happy to post as an attachment.

Brilliant thanx

The offline version would be helpful, and your right (I couldnt find it anywhere)

On the sliding door bit though:

Seriously having a few probs with it.

Been semi playing around with some scripting, but everything I try doesnt want to work. I had a look into the "elevator" door idea, but couldnt figure it at all (could have just been me though)

what i am wondering is: If someone can point me in the right direction for A: naming of .gsc
and B: what the code would look like?

The last effort i tried was _slidingdoor.gsc

No dice ;-(

Thanx in advance.

Ps: I would post the script I used but in my frustration it kinda got shredded ;-)

if u want i can help you on xfre. My user name is "voidsource". but yea to create your own .gsc isnt hard. just rename a .txt file into .gsc and then make sure its in your zone source file. Whatever functions you put in the gsc you can later use if you include it on the original mp_mapname.gsc. You know at the very top where it says #include blah\blahldfa; yea just put ur newly created script in there. as for the standalone version try this link:

Cod4 Script Reference - Standalone version

dont know if it works or not but i found it through a google search.
dl at your own risk.

Appreciated.

Will add ya later today (DIY calling unfortunatley)

The link decided to not work, but I am always online so the online version will suffice ;-)

Cheers
