I have a sctript for a baydoor I am working on and everthing should be right, but, I am getting script errors from the Game, whats wrong with it? All the console says is bad syntax. no line for errorr or anything.

called from main .gsc:

maps\mp\mp_townraid_lid::main();

mp_townraid_lid:

main()
{
thread door_open();
thread light_flash();

}

door_open()
{
door = getent("lid1", "targetname");
trig = getent("trig1", "targetname");
lip = getent("lip1" , "targetname");
switch = getent("switch1","targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
wait 2;
door moveto((0, 503, 0),20,5,5);
lip moveto((0,0,-52),20,5,5);
door waittill("movetodone");
trig waittill("trigger");
wait 2;
door moveto((0, -503, 0),20,5,5);
lip moveto((0,0,52),20,5,5);
door waittill("movetodone");
}
}
thread light_flash();
{
trig = getent("trig1", "targetname");
light = getent("light1", "targetname");
trig waittill("trigger");
light moveto((0,0,-23),.1,0,0);
wait 1;
light moveto((0,0,23),.1,0,0);

thread light_flash();
{

remove the semicolon.

If you don't get a line which the error is on in the console, enter /developer 1 before loading your map. You'll then get a better description of the error, including its location

Remove the text in red.

thread light_flash();
{
trig = getent("trig1", "targetname");
light = getent("light1", "targetname");
trig waittill("trigger");

And remove the extra } at the bottom of the script

Could I substitute the moveto with a hide/show loop? If so how do you get it to work with the lights? (i am trying to make a light that changes color to red when the bay opens and flashes while the doors are in motion).

Ive tried hide/show before in UO with no success on brush_models with a light value. Best to just define it's origin from one spot to another, same as your moveto lines but simpler to type

Grassy

Is there a command that changes light values?

ie. light setkey("intensity",".5")

or something like that?
