Hi all, I'm making doors in my map. But special doors. When you get in an special area around the door the door goes open and then you can go trough. When you are out the area then door closes again. how the hell do I do this

Trigger multi in the area you require to pick up the players, trigger activates the door, the trigger gets whoever activated it, opens the door and then waits at a while statement while the players is still in the trigger.
For eg: A rough layout of the script would be like this.

ent = getent("door","targetname");
ent_trig = getent("door_trig","targetname");

ent_trig waittill("trigger",other);
ent moveto or moveZ or rotateyaw
ent waittill("movedone"); or rotatedone

while(other isTouching(ent_trig))
wait(1);

//player must have left the trigger, close the door
ent moveto or moveZ or rotateyaw

My script:

main()

{

maps\_load::main();

ent = getent("door","targetname");
ent_trig = getent("door_trig","targetname");

ent_trig waittill("trigger",other);
ent moveto (64, 136, 256),
ent waittill("movedone"); or rotatedone

while(other isTouching(ent_trig))
wait(1);

//player must have left the trigger, close the door
ent moveto (64, 136, 64),


}


Its not working, the thing that has to move isnt moving (and yes the door's a brushmodel)

The moveto syntax is not right and text that is not code needs to be remed with //
Also make sure part of the brushmodel includes a brush with the origin texture, this brush MUST be part of the script_brushmodel makeup.
Also things like this should be in a separate thread outside of the main thread.

main()
{

maps\_load::main();

thread auto_door();

}


auto_door() {

ent = getent("door","targetname");
ent_trig = getent("door_trig","targetname");

//to make it easier define ent's origin here
//this will always send ent back to the startng position
org = ent.origin;

ent_trig waittill("trigger",other);

//move the door to a specific position
//moveto ((x,y,z), total time, speedup time, slowdown time);
ent moveto ((64, 136, 256),2,.5,.5);
ent waittill("movedone");

while(other isTouching(ent_trig))
wait(1);

//player must have left the trigger, close the door
ent moveto (org, 2, .5, .5);

}
