hey there

i have a quick question regarding this script:

main()
{

thread door();
}


door()

{
door=getent("door","targetname");
trig=getent("trigger","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
door rotateto( (0,90,0),2.7);
door waittill ("rotatedone");
trig waittill ("trigger");
door rotateto( (0,90,0),2.7);
door waittill ("rotatedone");
} 
}

is it possible too make changes to the above script so that the rotation would be continuous and a trigger not needed, basically i want the rotation to keep going without a trigger but if a trigger is needed what sort of trigger can i use so that it would start say when i enter a room in which the object is in i want rotating.

what i am making is something with a few moving parts which all move in different directions at the same time, up till now i have'nt found any script that can do this, but i could be wrong

any and all help is appreciated

i know dude but that is a different script, i was hoping to modify the one i posted, that other script can only be named rotate as i believe it and i found it difficult to make more than one rotate function which would rotate a different way in conjunction with another.

that is also why i added this post because that other script is not what i was looking for. i want to be able to rotate multiple items going in different directions all moving at the same time.

I sent you a pm Ghost.

And thats EXACTLY what the other script does!

i don't understand how though as i wrote in the other post, if a brushmodel is named rotate then surely all that are named rotate will rotate in the direction selected, i've tried adding the code twice but as i stated the brushmodels all rotate in the same direction.

i want to know how to rotate brushmodels on the y,x,z axis all at the same time..

thanks again

It tells you right there at the top of the script what key values you need to add to each model to make them rotate the direction you want.

For you again.
Try this:
Create two script_brushmodels you want to rotate in different directions.
Now give the first script_brushmodel the following keys/values:


And give the second script_brushmodel the following keys/values:

Now, when you start your map, the first script_brushmodel will rotate along the z-axis with a speed of 2 (2 sec. for a full rotation) and the second script_brushmodel will rotate along the x-axis with a speed of 3 (3 sec. for a full rotation).

I just made a small demo map to test out why you are having problems. The model I made had four rotating parts all on different axis, zyx and it works fine.
Look at the screen shot of the properties box for a model.

i tried that myself just before coming here and now i see you have posted some great help for me which is so much appreciated, i'm really really new at this and i tend to ask alot of questions sometimes the answer confuses me lol

thanks for that little extra help
