it's the standard trigger-script approach, just like doors indeed. take a doors tutorial, and replace the door script_brushmodel by a lamp script_brushmodel or a script_model of a lamp. once the trigger gets triggered, do whatever you want with that lamp ... here's an algo: wait till trigger move lamp to ground wait till movement done start small fire thread wait some amount of time kill small fire thread start medium fire thread wait some amount of time kill medium fire thread start big fire thread and you probably want to add some playsound lines in there as well.

yeah well ... i don't really feel like writing the code for you :) but take a look at the tutorial I made for exploding barrels. it is kindda similar to what you want to do. feel free to post your code here if you got an error you don't understand.

ok, I just took a baby step I added my trigger n stuff, but my lamp isnt moving, here is my code. Quote: main() { maps\mp\_load::main(); // set background ambient noise ambientPlay("ambient_mp_zombie"); game["allies"] = "american"; game["axis"] = "german"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy"; game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy"; } door_rotate1() { door1 = getent("lantren", "targetname"); trig1 = getent("lantren_trigger1", "targetname"); while (1) { trig1 waittill("trigger"); door1 rotateYaw(0,390,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); wait (0); door1 rotateYaw(0,0,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); } }

i see .... well first thing I notice is the organisation of your script. make a new .gsc file, name it "whatever". for the sake of the explanation, let's call it flubberLamp.gsc. put it in maps/mp, beside the mapname.gsc. that new gsc will be the lamp script. in the mapname.gsc enter the following line right above the maps\mp\_load::main(); one : maps\mp\flubberLamp::main(); this will start the lamp script when start your map. in flubberLamp.gsc you will have : main() { //whatever code } now please tell me you have C or Java basic knowledge or this will go nowhere

anyway it does look as if you have some knowledge ... so put that doorrotate1() function you have there and put it inside the flubberLamp main() function and see what that does. previously, your script wasn't called at all, which explains why nothing happened.

Ohh ohhh I did what you said now it wont run because ........ Quote: ***** script compile error ***** bad syntax: (file 'maps/mp/flubberlamp.gsc', line 4) { * Here is my code now, Zombie.gsc Quote: main() { maps\mp\flubberlamp::main(); maps\mp\_load::main(); // set background ambient noise ambientPlay("ambient_mp_zombie"); game["allies"] = "american"; game["axis"] = "german"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy"; game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy"; } flubberlamp.gsc Quote: main() { flubberLamp main() { door1 = getent("lantren", "targetname"); trig1 = getent("lantren_trigger1", "targetname"); while (1) { trig1 waittill("trigger"); door1 rotateYaw(0,390,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); wait (0); door1 rotateYaw(0,0,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); } } edited on Jul. 27, 2006 01:42 pm by Flubber

make it like this: main() { flubberLamp door1 = getent("lantren", "targetname"); trig1 = getent("lantren_trigger1", "targetname"); while (1) trig1 waittill("trigger"); door1 rotateYaw(0,390,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); wait (0); door1 rotateYaw(0,0,2,2); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); } I think that would do the job...I'm no exellent scripter, but i think it should work...
