Hi, I've been searching around the forums and tutorials but I've had no luck with the following:

A door that opens when you press the use key
&
Lights that shine in a given direction rather than all around.

The reason I want the doors is just to aesthetically please the players. The lights, I want to have shining up from the ground. I want it to have the sort of effect that this light would: http://img.tradekey.com/images/uploadedimages/offers/0/7/A541514-20070226025307.gif

Have you ever seen those lights in the sidewalk that shine up from underneath you? That's the sort of effect I want.

Makeing a door is easy. I'm sure if you surch the forums there is something you want.

As for the lights, i have never done it but there a thing, a html document, that came with my Call of Duty 2 Mod tools. The path to it is,

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\Docs\lighting

There it gives you screen shots and a txt tutorial on how to do the lighting. You may want to look in the Docs folder for something about a moving door.

Hope this helps [thumbs_up]
nullFew tips for coding.
1. Keep the script as short as possible.
2. Don't comment every line. Only comment portions where they may be needed to point something out.
3. Don't over complicate the script, keep it organized and easy to read.

These help you find simple errors and makes it easy to make changes.

Well I'm very aware of how to add normal lights to a map. I've done this before, you see.

You'll want a spotlight for a directional light. This is covered in the docs (as suggested by playername).

For a moving door, I suggest you take a look at the elevator tutorial for COD1. This shows how to add the triggers and script entities to your map. If you think about it, once you have your 'door' moving, you can just change how it moves. Check the script page in the documents, under the 'motion' heading.

The elevator tutorial is a bit difficult to understand if you know nothing about scripting... my suggestion is the "moving things, an intor to scripting" tutorial in the CoD1 tutorial section. It deals with... moving things.
