Hi all.
I found this script for some lide doors.

main()
{
thread slidedoor_slider ();
}

slidedoor_slider()
{
slidedoor=getent("slidedoor","targetname");
trig=getent("slideopen","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
//wait (4);
slidedoor movey (-64,2,0.5,0.5);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
wait (4);
//trig waittill ("trigger");
slidedoor movey(64,2,0.5,0.5);
slidedoor waittill ("movedone");

}
}

But this door is "stupid" and they will trap player if he is standing under them when closing.
So i want to make AI dors which doesn't close while player is nearby.
I prepared this byt I'm not sure if it's right.

main()
{
thread slidedoor_slider ();
}

slidedoor_slider()
{
slidedoor=getent("slidedoor","targetname");
trig=getent("slideopen","targetname");
 while(1)
 {
 trig waittill ("trigger");
 slidedoor movey (-64,2,0.5,0.5);
 slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
 wait (4);
 player = getentarray( "player", "classname" );
 if(player isnotTouching(trig))
	{
         slidedoor movey(64,2,0.5,0.5);
         slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
         }
 }
}

I don't know if is function 'isnotTouching' or something similar so pls correct me if I'm wrong

I don't think that it is a function, but "istouching" is.

Try this instead:

if(!player isTouching(trig))

"!" make negative in syntax

tomalla writes...That will be work to block the door.
But then he will run into a further problem.
If the player leave the door, the door won't be close and stays open.

ok thanks
i know what ! do byt i wasn't sure

How works 'if' function?
In pascal is there also 'else' or 'elseif' so if 'if' is false then goes 'else'.
And if player isn't touching this trig, what it do?
Because AI door should check if player is touching and if no then close and if yes then wait maybe 1s and then check again if player is touching.

it works just like that

if (...)
{

}
else
{

}

not sure if elseif works, but you can easily try that yourself.

The_Caretaker writes...
Works.

if (...)
{

}
else if (...)
{

}

Can be trigger_use used for function isTouching?
________________________________________
ok so i saw script where is command "return;"

main()
{
    thread alert_sound();

}

alert_sound()
{
	alerts = getentarray ("enginesound", "targetname");
	while (1)
	{
		
		{
			for (i=1;i<alerts.size;i++)
				alerts[0] playsound("T34engine");

			alerts[0] playsound("T34engine");
			
			wait (3);

     self thread alert_sound();

     return;
		}
		}
	}

I dont know if I'm using 'return;' well but this is what i did.

main()
{
thread slidedoor_slider ();
}

slidedoor_slider()
{
slidedoor=getent("slidedoor","targetname");
trig=getent("slideopen","targetname");
 while(1)
 {
 trig waittill ("trigger");
 slidedoor movey (-64,2,0.5,0.5);
 slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
 wait (4);
 player = getentarray( "player", "classname" );
 if(!player isTouching(trig))
	{
         slidedoor movey(64,2,0.5,0.5);
         slidedoor waittill ("movedone");
         }
 else if(player isTouching(trig))
	{
         wait(1); //time between returning = rechecking if player is touching
         return; //should return script to if(!player isTouching(trig))
         } 
}
}

or should i use only 'else' instead of 'else if'

wouldn't matter... else would only mean less code, because you don't have to use the elseif statement.

Usually else if is only used if there are more than two options..
a = 1, 2 or 3...

if (a ==1)
{

}
else if (a == 2)
{

}
else
{

}

Since in your case the player is either not touching the trigger or he is, the else if doesn't have to be used.
