I'm sorry to disturb you guy's and gals for this but can someone give me working code for rotating door's. I did try to find that but couldnt find anything .

Ill explain so you understand what is happening in this script rather than just giving a bunch of code.

So lets start a new script. Create a new .gsc and lets just call it 'door.gsc'. As with any script we need to start it like so:

main()
{
thread door();
}

As you can see the function we are calling is 'door', so we now need to tell the script what 'door' is. To do this we first need to
grab hold of your door and its trigger. The door should be a script_brushmodel and the trigger a trigger_use.

door = getent ("door", "targetname");
trig = getent ("doortrigger", "targetname");

As you can see the script is now looking for a script_brushmodel with a targetname of 'door' and a trigger with a targetname of 'doortrigger'. When it finds them we need to tell it what to do with them.

So we want to wait for the door to get triggered. If you remember the trigger is now indentified as 'trig' so we use:

trig waittill ("trigger");

So somebody has come along a trigggered the trigger, but what happens now? ... Ok being a door we need it to open. So we want it to rotate on the 'Y' axis 90 degrees.

door rotateyaw (-90,1.5);

So you can see that the door will now open 90 degrees in 1.5 seconds. Either of these can be modified to suit your need. Everything is looking good except no sound will play yet so that is what we need to look at next. We want to play a sound you will need to specify in your .csv (which i wont explain at the moment).

door playsound("open");

The sound specified is ironically called 'open' as you can see in the code. Now it's a good idea to leave the door open for a while before it closes to allow the player to get through. So lets use:

wait (3);

Or in other words, 'wait 3 second before you close again'. Lets assume we waited 3 seconds and now we want to close the door back up. Lets play the 'close door sound' (again specified in your .csv as 'close') and rotate the door back 90 degrees.

door playsound("close");
door rotateyaw (90,2.25);

Lets do a quick check. We got the targetnames, we then waited for the door to be triggered. We opened the door and played the sound. We waited for the player to get through. We closed the door and played the 'close' sound. Only one thing left and that to tell the script that we are all done.

door waittill ("rotatedone");

Hope this helps.

Some how it gives me this error:
Script runtime error
(see console for details)
(file 'maps/mp/mp_door1.gsc',line 9)

and when I get back to game door is open but stay's that way.
My hole code is this:

main()
{
thread door();
}
door()
{
door = getent ("door1", "targetname");
trig = getent ("doortrigger1", "targetname");
trig waittill ("trigger");
door rotateyaw ( (0,90,0),2);
door playsound("open");
wait (3);
door playsound("close");
door rotateyaw (90,2.25);
door waittill ("rotatedone");
}


What I did wrong

I also have problems getting script brushmodels to move. I copy and paste my old .gsc files that used to work fine for COD1 and when I run a COD2 map with those .gsc's, the map crashes with a script compile error. Did they change their scripting methods or something when they made COD2?

Try this:

main()
{
thread door();
}
door()
{
door = getent ("door1", "targetname");
trig = getent ("doortrigger1", "targetname");
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
door rotateyaw ( (0,90,0),2);
door playsound("open");
wait (3);
door playsound("close");
door rotateyaw (90,2.25);
door waittill ("rotatedone");
}
}

Somehow it gives error for this:
trig waittill ("trigger");

Dont know why .
Should I do something to that trigger or what's my problem ???

In radiant, did you give the door the targetname door1 and the trigger the targetname doortrigger1?

You do this by selecting the door, then pressing N and entering "targetname" as the key and door1 as the value and press Enter. Do the same though with doortrigger1 for the trigger.

The reason you do this is that the COD2 engine needs to know which objects on the map you want to move. You obtain a reference to an map's object by using the getent function to retrieve a single objects and the getentarray to retrieve multiple references to similar objects which in programming is called array.

The line trig = getent("doortrigger1", "targetname"); searches the map for a script_brushmodel that has a key of "targetname" with a value of "doortrigger1").
