Hi there, me again :biggrin:

For the life of me, I cant work out how to target an imp to teleport :(

I've set "teleport" value: 1

I have a "trigger_once" entity ---> Cant find out how to actually target something with it though! ("target" [imp's name] doesn't seem to work)

I've spent hours now! I even set the trigger to call a script, and inside that script wrote:

void Spawn_Imp () {
$Imp,teleport(1)
}

I have no idea what it means, but sorted followed the jist of foylemans handy rotating door vid! (I called the monster "Imp")

please help me

bam

there are two easy ways to target something from the editor.

- super easy way: select the trigger entity first. Then select the entity you wish to trigger. Finally hit CRTL + k

- more precise way: rename or note the name of the entity you wish to trigger. select the trigger entity and enter the key of target and the value of the the name you noted earlier.

That script won't work the way you want it to

void Spawn_Imp () { $Imp,teleport(1) }

First of all there is a syntax error there. you have a comma instead of a period. Secondly, there is no semicolon(;) to tell it that the command is over. I suggest you use lower case letters, at least for the first one. It moght give you a warning. ex: imp.teleport(1);

Also, that's not going to trigger the imp to teleport, and I'm not even sure it will set his teleport value to 1. It might.

Use a different name. I'm not sure how the doom3 engine handles its namespaces (objects having the same name in different levels of code) but that might be the problem that "imp" is being used by something else internally. Change it to "myimp" or something like that

Finally, check out my post on triggering entites in the console.

Hope this helps

tee hee hee

Sorry for the no doubt ugly coding blunder... hope it gave you guys some entertainment... :)

(It was a little hard to make out the comma --> fullstop in the vid... else, those tutes are fantastic m8!)

So i guess I mispelt something:

Key: target
Value: ent_name

hehe thats the FIRST thing i tried :(... damn, must've been a bit hasty and moved on in a panick
