Dear modsonline community,

I built an elevator into my map and followed exactly the tutorial.

http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-169.html

I wanted to make my elevator start at the top and go down to the next position, but even when I copy pasted the script it didn't even move a centimetre. The brushmodel is targetname elevatormodel, the trigger use is the elevatorswitch...

I want it to move down by 1194 blocks in 11 seconds...
The model itself is 112 blocks high.

Here's the code:

main()
{

level.elevatorDown = true; // elevator starts at bottom: true/false 
level.elevatorMoving = false; // elevator is not currently moving 


thread elevator_start();

}

elevator_start() { 
elevator = getentarray ("elevatorswitch","targetname"); 
if ( isdefined(elevator) ) 
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++) 
elevator[i] 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 = 1192; 
wait (1); 
if (level.elevatorDown) { // moves to top 
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (-1192,11,2,2); 
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone"); 
level.elevatorDown = true; 
} 
else { // moves to bottom 
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (1192,11,2,2); 
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone"); 
level.elevatorDown = false; 
} 
level.elevatorMoving2 = false; 
} 

Any ideas? Thx

Noone ?

I havn't used uo for a while now but i think that this used to work for me

main()
{
level.elevatorDown = true; // elevator starts at bottom: true/false
level.elevatorMoving = false; // elevator is not currently moving
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 = 226;
wait (1);
if (level.elevatorDown) { // moves to top
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height, speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else { // moves to bottom
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator1"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height - (height * 2), speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}


Now i look at yours again, it looks the same, so it should work
