I would like to make a trap door, like the one off the Ramelle map, where you go up to it press a button and it opens, and plays a sound like a creak. Could anyone post a tutorial or pm me.

Have a look around this swiggy, it may help you. The .map file is included so you can load that in the editor and peruse that.

Also check out the "moving things" tutorial by stryder in the cod section. The scripting is much the same for cod2

Right i downloaded what you told me and im trying to make a norm door. So i changed the normdoor.gsc. And i got an error.

Heres my script:

main()
{
thread door1 ();
}

door1()
{
door1=getent("door1","targetname");
trig=getent("open","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
door1 rotateto( (0,-90,0),2);
door1 waittill ("rotatedone");
wait (3);
//trig waittill ("trigger");
door1 rotateto( (0,0,0),2);
door1 waittill ("rotatedone");
} 
}

And heres my error:

undefined is not an object: (file 'maps/mp/mp_swiggy_doors.gsc', line 12)
trig waittill ("trigger");

There are many posts on making working doors swiggy m8 and I dont have time to go over most of it all again, there are also more tuts, including a video one. There are also more than one way to make a working door, its horses for courses.

However briefly here goes, make your door, and texture it, create another small long thin brush, give it an origin texture, place it down the side of the door you require the door to hinge on. Select the door and origin together, right click and make them a script_model, press n with them selected and give them a targetname of door1.
Create a brush in front of the door (quite large about 24X cube) with that selected give it a trigger texture, still with it selected right click, and make it a trigger_use. Still with it selected press n and give it a targetname of open.

Press esc., compile, create the .gsc for the door script (just use the normdoor .gsc from that lil download.
Dont forget to add the line in yourmapname.gsc to call on that normdoor.gsc

Ok i got my door to work just fine. I can open it, go inside my building and close it. However becuase my trigger is outside, i can't open the door from the inside, lol.

Heres my script:

main()
{
thread door1_open ();
}

door1_open()
{
door1=getent("door1","targetname");
trig=getent("open","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
door1 rotateto( (0,-90,0),2);
trig waittill ("trigger"); 	
door1 rotateto( (0,0,0),2);
door1 waittill("rotatedone");

}
}

Make the trigger bigger so It's inside the building as well

Try adding sounds to the door as well, one for opening, and a different one for closing.

Here's my door.cfg

main() 
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

thread door1_rotate();
thread door2_rotate();
}


door1_rotate()
{
door1 = getent("door1", "targetname");
trig = getent("door_trigger1", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
door1 rotateYaw(90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);
door1 playsound ("dooropen"); 
door1 waittill("rotatedone");
wait (3);
door1 rotateYaw(-90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);
door1 playsound ("doorclose");
door1 waittill("rotatedone"); 
}
}

door2_rotate()
{
door2 = getent("door2", "targetname");
trig = getent("door_trigger2", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
door2 rotateYaw(90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);
door2 playsound ("dooropen"); 
door2 waittill("rotatedone");
wait (3);
door2 rotateYaw(-90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7);
door2 playsound ("doorclose");
door2 waittill("rotatedone"); 
}
}

Hi Preacher. I tried the script you posted but it doesnt work. I made my trigger bigger so it fits on the outside and inside. But i think that because the trigger is going through my door its causing it not to work. My door is closed at first, I want it so I can open it, then the door stays open untill i press it again, which will close my door.
Any help will be great.

the trigger going through the door shouldn't cause the script to fail. If it worked with the trigger on one side, it should work with the trigger going through.

Just use your original script, get it to work before adding sounds and stuff like that.
