ok ive read thru the tutorial on this and have had the example map running but can figure it out.
if i have a sound trigger in my map (with the sound script_model) with targetname doors what should i put in the gsc file to call the trigger?

Im a total noob at scripting so im probly missing the obvious, but im stuck

{
soundorigin = getent("nameofthesoundorigin","targetname"); //get place where the soun will come from
doors_trigger= getent ("doors", "targetname"); //get trigger
doors waittill ("trigger"); //wait untill triggered
soundorigin playsound("soundwhenopeningdoor"); //play the sound
}

well its nearly working as i hear a wierd sound clip when i press the lift switch but no sound. Im not sure what to rename the trigger to in your example above as i seem to have a level.trig?
And i want to trigger three different sounds when this lift gsc runs, is that possible with thexample above?
Thanks again

main()
{
thread gate_init();

}
gate_init(){
level.gatemoving=false;
level.gate1 = getent("lift2DL","targetname");
level.gate2 = getent("lift2DR","targetname");
level.gate3 = getent("lift1bottom","targetname");
level.gate4 = getent("lift1top","targetname");
level.gate5 = getent("elevatormodel_2","targetname");
level.trig = getentarray ("elevatorswitchleft_1","targetname");

if (isdefined(level.trig))
for (i=0;i level.trigthread gate_handler();
}

gate_handler() {
while (1) {
self waittill ("trigger");
if (!level.gatemoving)
thread move_gate();
wait(1);
}
}
move_gate() {
level.gatemoving = true;
soundorigin = getent("woodenGates","targetname"); //get place where the sound will come from
doors_trigger = getent "elevatorswitchleft_1", "targetname"); //get trigger
//doors waittill ("trigger"); //wait untill triggered
soundorigin playsound("openingGates"); //play the sound

level.gate1 rotateto ((0,-90,0),1.66); //the bottom left door opens
level.gate2 rotateto ((0,90,0),1.66); //the bottom right door opens
}

Which tutorial did you read?

Not this one. That's our working elevator tutorial. There is a "sound" thing in there too.. though you might have to adjust for the CoDUO sounds.. oh.. and the switch model in that tutorial doesn't work.

I also suggest reading a couple of scripting tutorials (like the "moving things" from the CoD section) before attempting doing something like this.. Because if you just copy a script, errors are easily made.
