ok what im having trouble with is one door + two triggers

i have tried copying the 1st trigger and giving the 2nd trigger the same targetname ( all i get is the door repeatadly going up and down)

as the triggers was opposite through the wall i tried making the trigger big to go through the wall for it to work. but as it touches a brush dosnt work.

therefore i thought i would script it.

so what i need is trigger 1 to activate (door goes up)
Or trigger 2 goes up if activate
trigger 2 OR trigger 1 for next sequence = triggered and goes down

so they kind of work with each other knowing if the door = up or down.

this is what i have so far
##################################
main()

{
thread electricdoor();
}




electricdoor()
{

trigger = getent("door_sequence_trigger", "targetname");
trigger waittill("trigger");
thread activate_the_door();
}
activate_the_door()
{
aufzug = getent("updowndoor", "targetname");
movingdoor = getent("doorsound", "targetname");
wait 1;
movingdoor playsound("gantrys");
aufzug moveZ(170, 5);
aufzug waittill("movedone");


thread electronicdoor2();
}

electronicdoor2()
{
trigger = getent("door_sequence_trigger", "targetname");

trigger waittill("trigger");
thread activate_the_door2();
}
activate_the_door2()
{

aufzug = getent("updowndoor", "targetname");
movingdoor = getent("doorsound", "targetname");

wait 1;
movingdoor playsound("gantrys");
aufzug moveZ(-170, 5);
wait 1;


aufzug waittill("movedone");


thread electricdoor();
}
#####################################
trigger 2 is called "door_sequence_2"

but not added yet

any help will be appreciated. thankyou...

You can do it like this:

Add a global variable to tell if the door is moving (like in the elvator tutorial) level.doormoving=false

Then add a second function kinda like this

electronicdoor2b()
{
trigger = getent("door_sequence_trigger_2", "targetname");
trigger waittill("trigger");
if (!level.doormoving)
{
thread activate_the_door2();
}
}

And call it at the end of your activate_the_door function, just like you did with the electronicdoor2 function.
Do the same on your original electronicdoor2 function.

In your activate_the_door2 function add the line
level.doormoving=true at the beginning and level.doormoving=false at the end, to tell the game the door is moving or has finished.

Voila.. something like that should work.

TC you didn't notice he didn't use getentarray...
Here you go

main()
{
thread electricdoor();
}

electricdoor()
{
level.doormoving=false;
level.doorup=false;

trigger = getentarray("door_sequence_trigger", "targetname"); //triggers

if(!isdefined(trigger)
	{
	iprintln("Trigger not found!");
	}
thread activate_the_door(trigger);
}

activate_the_door(other)
{

if(!level.doorup)
	{
	//if door is down, go up.
	other waittill("trigger");

	aufzug = getent("updowndoor", "targetname"); //door
	level.doormoving=true;
	movingdoor = getent("doorsound", "targetname"); //sound
	aufzug moveZ(170, 5);
	wait 1;
	movingdoor playsound("gantrys");
	aufzug waittill("movedone");
	level.doorup=ture;
	level.doormoving=false;
	}
else
	{
	//if door is up, go down.
	other waittill("trigger");

	aufzug = getent("updowndoor", "targetname"); //door
	level.doormoving=true;
	movingdoor = getent("doorsound", "targetname"); //sound
	aufzug moveZ(-170, 5);
	wait 1;
	movingdoor playsound("gantrys");
	aufzug waittill("movedone");
	level.doorup=false;
	level.doormoving=false;
	}
}

If that doesn't work let me go, I did this with coppy paste really fast.

He doesn't need to use getentarray, because he gave the two triggers different names, door_sequence_trigger and door_sequence_2.

thankyou i shall try and test after refixing my windows ;p

i tried the script but got a bad syntax error

"a syntax error" is not very helpful.. press the ~ key and get us the full error so we can work on the problem.

Also post the .gsc file you use so we can see the problem.

I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING ;P

thx for all your help i shall post the script here: its the same as tutorial but has 2 working trigger simultanious


main() {
level.elevatorDown = true; // elevator starts at bottom: true/false
level.elevatorMoving = false; // elevator is not currently moving
thread elevator_start();
thread elevator_start2();
}

elevator_start() {
elevator = getentarray ("door_sequence_trigger","targetname");
if ( isdefined(elevator) )
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++)
elevator thread elevator_think();
}

elevator_start2() {
elevator = getentarray ("door_trigger_2","targetname");
if ( isdefined(elevator) )
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++)
elevator thread elevator_think();
}


elevator_think() {
while (1) {
self waittill ("trigger");
if (!level.elevatorMoving)
thread elevator_move();
}
}

elevator_move() {
elevatormodel = getent ("updowndoor", "targetname");
level.elevatorMoving = true;
speed = 2;
height = 170;
wait (1);
if (level.elevatorDown) { // moves to top
elevatormodel playsound ("gantryso"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height, speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else { // moves to bottom
elevatormodel playsound ("gantryso"); // sound definition for soundaliases.csv
wait (1); // wait a second to hear the motor start and then start the movement of the lift - feels more realistic
elevatormodel moveZ (height - (height * 2), speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}

another problem

when the door comes down is there a way of adding a brush to stop ppl going underneath or hurt trigger to squash them?
