Hi their i am in the process of making a omaha map and was wondering how to make the higgins boats ride up to the beach and the gates droplike in the normandy landings at point duhoc. is their a way to make the gates themselfs just be open as well?

well heres a script thatll get the ship to the shore, but the only problem is that it loops so the boat will go to the shore respawn and go to the shore again LOL.

k if ur boat is a model from the game or that u made make it script_model and if u made it out of brushes select all the pieces of the boat and make it a script_brushmodel

k the select ur boat (all pieces) give it a targetname of boat
deselect it. create a script_orgin place this near ur boat give it a targetname start_boat. then create another orgin and place it where u want the boat to end. give it a targetname of end_boat.

now heres the script.

main() 
{ 

thread boat(); 
} 

boat() 
{ 
boat = getent ("boat","targetname");
end = getent ("end_boat","targetname");
start = getent ("start_boat","targetname");

while (1) 
{ 
boat moveto((end.origin), 4);
boat waittill ("movedone");
boat hide();
boat moveto((start.origin), 0.1);
boat waittill ("movedone");
boat show();
	}
}

i take no credit in this script what so ever this came from my friend creator this script was origannly meant for a plane i just renamed parts of the script to make it look neater hopefully u can find a way to only make it stop at the end orgin.


as i wrote that last paragraph i got an idea . ok instead of that script try it with this one. this might get it to stop at the last orgin. as for ur opening of the gate i do not how to do that srry.

main() 
{ 

thread boat(); 
} 

boat() 
{ 
boat = getent ("boat","targetname");
end = getent ("end_boat","targetname");
start = getent ("start_boat","targetname");

while (1) 
{ 
boat moveto((end.origin), 4);
boat waittill ("movedone");
boat hide();
}
}

not sure if itll work but give it a shot


good luck

To work the door or ramp in this case couldnt you use the script that opens doors in buildings? You would have to change a few things but I would think the principle is the same. A script is located around here somewhere or someone has a script for it. If this works then all someone has to do is hit their use key to open the door/ramp.

btw, the looping function is while (1)

take that out and it wont loop

i think it's too much to ask from someone that doesn't know what's a script ...

btw if you want the door to drop, you need an door-less higgins model AND a higgins door model. if both are attached together, you can't make that work.
