G'day folks,

Many have wanted a complete door script that will open doors away from a player, so I decided to give it a shot....

Man I was optimistic!

There must be something I'm missing, what I wanted was a script that will be usable by all map makers, it was intended to cope with any door placed either E-W or N-S but also rotate the door clockwise or counter clockwise and away from the player depending on what side of the door they are on...

Therein lies the problem, just too many variables to contend with I'm thinking.

So I have posted what I've got so far in here, and I leave it open source for you other script gurus to play with and complete.

I don't have a lot of hair left so I'm leaving the head scratching and hair pulling to others on this one.

//Filename: _cod2doors.gsc
//Location: maps\mp\_cod2doors.gsc
//Version 2:
//Updated: June 23, 2007
//
//Created By: <|WHC|>Grassy
//
//Description:
//For normal rotating type doors
//This script is for manipulating and playing sounds on multiple doors
//It will also rotate doors away from the user (most of the time :-) )
//
//Usage:
//Place this in the same directory as your map and call this script
//from the main function of your maps .gsc file
//
//Syntax:
//maps\mp\_cod2doors::main();
//
//Other notes:
//For the sounds to work you will need to have the relevant sound
//files and sound cfg files setup correctly
//
//Notes:
//Arghhh I'm going nuts!
//There are just too many variables to deal with!
//For all possible door orientations and players positions to calculate
//this method is too restrictive! or I'm missing something. Grassy
//I will leave this open ended for others to play with.

I have been developing a massive script for all kinds of doors in my project, "The Doorhaven Project". I have sliding and rotating doors, and single and double doors. I also have a bulkhead door and I am currently working on a garage door. It has all the necessary variables, and yes there are quite a few. However, adding a door can be done quite easily once the basic scripts are there.

I even have a rotating door that opens away from you as you approach, without pressing the use key, then it swings the other way back and forth about three times and closes. This simulates a swinging door like the kind in restaurants into and out of the kitchen. They kind that hits you in the face when someone else is behind the door going the other way.

I am adding lockable doors with keys that you have to find... a whole bunch of stuff. I hope to be finished with it shortly.

Hey sounds great mate!

Sorry for the delay, my net has been down for a few days due to a number of problems, cables, Isp's etc....

I am no stranger to all sorts of doors and model manipulation, but what I was trying to do was let the script do all the thinking on standard simple type doors for mappers to make.
I could have used triggers to detect what side of the door the player is on but that would have complicated the mappers life :)

How did you determine the proximity and on what side of the door a player is with your rotating doors? Just curious :)

Anyway the basic script is there for anyone to pull apart or add to.
Feel free to use it however you want people.

The Doorhaven Project started in March 2007 with the the beginning question: Just how many ways CAN you put a door in a map?

So, I started to think. Yeah, dangerous thing to do.... I thought there are sliding and rotating doors. Then I thought of some fancy house with two doors together, ie: double doors. Then, what about the kind of door that swings both ways on a spring like in a restaurant? From here the script began to grow into a massive script that handles all the kinds of doors I can think of.

Here is a zip file of just the scripts

I am in the process of creating it, so this is just a rough draft.

It is based upon the idea of using a switch statement based upon the door type.

The current list of door types and triggers is as follows:

Door Types
1 = Single Rotating. 2 = Single Sliding.
3 = Double Rotating. 4 = Bulkhead Door, Cellar door at an angle.
5 = Double Sliding. 6 = Swinging Door, rotates both ways, without "using".
7 = Gullwing Door. 8 = Garage Door.
9 = Double Trap Door. 10 = Outside Elevator Door.
11 = Inside Elevator Door. 12 = Positional Trigger.
13 = Trap Trigger.


Essentially you go down through a list of triggers and set them up to wait for their own door to activate. This way, if you put one trigger for a door, or two triggers for a door, you can control which way that door opens based upon the trigger that is activated. Hence a simple, not really that simple, way to control the opening of doors. I will also provide the entire map, the bsp AND the source map file when I get to some point where it is playable enough to show the basic uses of doors....

Some of the doors have taken a massive amount of time to figure out, some are simple.

I am looking right now for a way to implement a menu system, but I am having a hard time going through all those script files to figure it out. I hope to be able to allow the player to not only open doors, but also to find a key to unlock and even to lock a door.

There are lots of variables, direction of swing or direction of sliding movement is one of the major ones. Each door can have a specific sound file, each door can have a specific delay, a speed, all kinds of possibilities. All in one script file. Actually three at the moment. I have over twenty triggers working right now.

Then I guess I should do a Window Haven Project?

Holey moley!

There's more arrays in there than I've ever seen in any other script! And multilevel arrays too!

You must be a programmer, can tell by the methods used and extensive notes with updates done.

Nice one mate, good stuff.

Grassy

lol I jus looked at those door scripts and i gotta say THATS A LOT of arrays. It was kind of looking at some of teh .gsc files for the SP maps.

Scharfschuetze, could you read this topic and help me?

Is about elevator open door (when elevator arrives, doors open, and, when leave, close)

Thanks.
