////Door Kick Tutorial by Ace008\\\\\



Alright lets get started

Step 1: Create a node_scripted and give it a targetname:

Value:targetname
Key:door_node



Step 2: Create an actor of your choosing and give him a targetname:

Value:targetname
Key:doorkicker




Step 3: Create your door, which the actor will kick, and turn it into a script_brushmodel. To do this while the door is selected right click in your grid and look for something called script. Inside that you will see script_brushmodel, which you will click. The door will turn blue on the grid to let you know it is
now a script_brushmodel.

Now give the door a targetname:

Value:targetname
Key:door

Also while the door is selected press N and put a check in the box that says DynamicPath.



Step 4: Create another door the same size as the first with the same texture of course and turn it into a script_brushmodel. This door is where the first door will
swing to after the actor kicks it so place it where you want the door to end up.



Step 5: Now select the first door and then the second door and press W to connect them. You will see a blue line indicating they are connected.



Step 6: Draw out a brush and make it a trigger_once. To do this right click in your grid and under trigger there will be
something called once. Now give it a targetname:

Value:targetname
Key:door_trig



Step 7: This is the last part for mapping! Place the scripted node about 10 units away from the door so it looks like the actor is actually kicking it. If it is any farther away it looks kinda odd. Also make sure the node is facing towards the door . To do this on top there is a button that has a Z with an arrow to N(The 8th button on the row) click that and an arrow will appear from the node. Make sure that arrow is pointing towards the door so the actor kicks in the correct direction.

Okay now the feared part, the part everyone hates...Scripting WUHAAAAA.

Step 1: Create a GSC file called mymapname.gsc and copy this code into it:

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;


main()
{

	
              maps\_load::main();
              maps\mymapname_anim::main();

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("enfield");
level.player switchToWeapon ("enfield");

thread kick_door();
}
kick_door()
{
	
	
	
	
door_node = getnode ("door_node", "targetname");
		
doortrig = getent("door_trig","targetname");

doortrig waittill("trigger",other);
	

level.doorkicker = getent("doorkicker","targetname");
	level.doorkicker.animname = "doorkicker";
	level.doorkicker.anim_node = door_node;
	level.doorkicker notify ("stop friendly think");

             level.doorkicker thread magic_bullet_shield();
             level.doorkicker.ignoreme = true;
	
	level maps\_anim::anim_reach_solo (level.doorkicker, "kickdoor", undefined, door_node);
	level.doorkicker pushPlayer (false);
	door_node thread maps\_anim::anim_single_solo (level.doorkicker, "kickdoor");
	
	level.doorkicker waittillmatch ("single anim", "soundfx = kickdoor");
	
              door = getent ("door", "targetname");
	door playsound ("kickdoor");
	
	door rotateyaw(90,.5,.2,.2);
	
	door connectpaths();

              level.doorkicker notify ("stop magic bullet shield");
	level.doorkicker.ignoreme = false;

	}

Step 2: Now make another gsc fille and call it mymapname_anim.gsc and copy this code into it:

#using_animtree("generic_human");
main()
{	
	
	//animations
	level.scr_anim["doorkicker"]["kickdoor"]		= (%kickdoor_guy2);
}

Thats it for scripting, aren't you happy!

//////////////////////

Okay Now for the Sound in your COD2 main folder create a folder called Soundaliases. Inside that create
a new text document and place this code into it:

name,sequence,file,vol_min,vol_max,vol_mod,pitch_min,pitch_max,dist_min,dist_max,channel,type,probability,loop,masterslave,loadspec,subtitle,compression,secondaryaliasname,volumefalloffcurve,startdelay,speakermap,reverb,lfe percentage

#door,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

kickdoor,1,doors/door_wd_kick.wav,0.92,0.92,foley,0.9,0.9,350,2000,auto,,,,,mymapname,,,

Save this as mymapname.csv and you are all done.


Now go compile and admire your work!

"Honey I'm home" lol

Nice tutorial, we needed this..Thank you!

Your Welcome! I am glad to help contribute to this great website after all the help you guys have been.

hey cool - permission to add it to the tutorials section?

Good tutorial, nice to see a new single player one.

Just wonder, if someone were to kick a locked door, wouldn't it fall on the floor? If it was unlocked, why kick it?

hey! thanx ace! been looking for this one...gonna use it in my new map...good job as usual man

Go ahead and add it to the tutorial section if you want Stryder. Also thanks for the compliments guys!




Wouldn't be as dramatic to just turn a door handle. Not to mention it is fun to destroy things.

Nice one going to use it soon i hope.

UPDATE


Sorry guys but I forgot to add something in this tutorial. When you make the first door make an origin brush with it that has the same targetname. Make sure the origin texture is touching both the door and the wall near it. Basically think of it as your door hinge. Everything will still work without the origin brush but the door moves really fast without it and looks a little unrealistic. Again I am sorry I forgot to put that information in. If a mod could please update the tutorial I would be thankful.

Hi when i go to play my map it comes up with a error saying.

------- sound system successfully initialized -------  --- Common Initialization Complete ---  Error during initialization:  Sound alias file house.csv: Volume Mod Group 'loop' not found.

Hope someone can help me out
