ok im making a lift in my map with doors that will have to move with the elevator as it moves. anyone know how i can connect my lift doors to the lift brush_model in my lift gsc file please?

here my lift script can you show me where in the script i should put it also:

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_2","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;
sound1 = getent("lift2doorstop","targetname");
sound2 = getent("lift2doorsbottom","targetname");
sound3 = getent("elevatornoise2","targetname");
sound3 playsound ("liftnoise");
level.gate5 movez (608,11,1.5,1.5,8); //the lift moves up
//now you need a wait on the gate5 move
level.gate5 waittill ("movedone");
//ok gate5 has stopped, now open upper doors
sound1 playsound ("metalgates");
level.gate3 movez (-59,4.5,0.5,0.5); //top door lower opens
level.gate4 movez (83,4.5,0.5,0.5); //top door upper opens
wait (5); //get into the lift
sound1 playsound ("metalgates");
level.gate3 movez (59,4.5,0.5,0.5); //top door lower closes
level.gate4 movez (-83,4.5,0.5,0.5); //top door upper closes
wait (5);
sound3 playsound ("liftnoise");
level.gate5 movez (-608,11,1.5,1.5,8); //the lift goes back down
//now you need to wait on the gate5 move again
level.gate5 waittill ("movedone");
//ok gate5 has stopped, now open upper doors
sound2 playsound ("gatesopen");
level.gate1 rotateto ((0,-90,0),4); //the bottom left door opens
level.gate2 rotateto ((0,90,0),4); //the bottom right door opens
wait (8); //this is the time to get in lift at bottom
sound2 playsound ("gatesopen");
level.gate1 rotateto ((0,0,0),4); //the bottom left door closes
level.gate2 rotateto ((0,0,0),4); //the bottom right door closes


//wait (2);

level.gatemoving=false;
}

thanks

To connect something to something else the command to use is linkto()
If you need to link a trigger to something then it needs to be enabled or forced. To do this use this command.
trigger enablelinkto();

I'm not certain which parts are your doors in this.

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_2","targetname");

level.gate1 linkto(level.lift1bottom);
level.gate2 linkto(level.lift1bottom);
//assuming the gates1/2 are your doors

well i tried it but the doors dont seem to move with the lift but i may have made an error. Also i didnt say that i have 8 doors to move about, and four door to link to the lift. Heres my lift gsc for anyone who can help.
Also i have a hatch in the top of the lift that opens closes..is there a way i can link a portal to the lift as well?

main()
{
thread gate_init();
}
gate_init(){
level.gatemoving=false;
level.gate1b = getent("passliftdoor_a1","targetname");
level.gate2b = getent("passliftdoor_a2","targetname");
level.gate3b = getent("passliftdoor_b1","targetname");
level.gate4b = getent("passliftdoor_b2","targetname");
level.gate5b = getent("door_ainner2","targetname");
level.gate6b = getent("door_ainner1","targetname");
level.gate7b = getent("door_binner2","targetname");
level.gate8b = getent("door_binner1","targetname");
level.gate9b = getent("passliftdoor2_a1","targetname");
level.gate10b = getent("passliftdoor2_a2","targetname");
level.gate11b = getent("passliftdoor2_b1","targetname");
level.gate12b = getent("passliftdoor2_b2","targetname");
level.gate13b = getent("passlift","targetname");
level.trig = getentarray("passlift_sw1","targetname");
//level.gate14b = getent("lifthatch","targetname");
//level.gate14b linkto(level.passlift);
level.gate5b linkto(level.passlift);

any helps always apreciated

you are linking them to the wrong name.


If the actual elevator that you move is this part
level.gate13b = getent("passlift","targetname");
then your linkto lines should be,
//level.gate14b = getent("lifthatch","targetname");
//level.gate14b linkto(level.gate13b);
level.gate5b linkto(level.gate13b);
level.gate6b linkto(level.gate13b);
level.gate7b linkto(level.gate13b);
level.gate8b linkto(level.gate13b);

You have to refer to the alias you assign an entity

Appologies as well, I see my other post was not correct and might have caused some confusion.

well i was too polite to say anyting lol...

i spose i should have asked this before but after i link doors to the lift do i need to unlink them for the doors to be able to open?

as it stands the doors and hatch move with lift perfectly, but the doors dont open.

Erm, ok........ ahh! have you used an origin brush for each script_model?

Each script_brushmodel should comprise the actual textured brush/s and a brush textured with origin, select them all and assign them as the brushmodel.

If your doors still wont move, then I suppose you will have to unlink them, move them, then link again before the elevator moves off...

To unlink use: FirstEnt unlink(OtherEnt);

oh well i thought origins were only for doors or breakable windows

thats not too bad...thanks again grassy
