I just now read the scripting tutorial on this site and I did everything it said to on the last part about making a sliding door and i tryed it out in a map and it didnt work. I dont get any script compile errors or anything like that its just that my brush does not move. I got my trigger with the targetname of "slider_trigger" And i got my script_brushmodel with the targetname of "slide" and the origin is inside of it. One question about the origin tho, am i supposed to make the origin be a script_brushmodel" like my door?
And am I supposed to make my origin have the same targetname as my door because that is what I did. Maybe that is the problem. Could someone please help me out on this I really want to learn how to script.

delete your origin textured brush and try it again

in most cases - the origin will be used as a hinge, and a sliding door doesnt want to rotate on a hinge, plus - if you followed my tut exactly, then you should be defining the entity movement (movez) without needing an origin brush

Ok, thanks ill go try it out right now.

Ok i erased the origin brush like you said but it still doesnt work. Here is the script. I think i got it down right.

main()

{
thread door_slider ();
}

door_slider ()
{
door = getent ("slide ", "targetname");
trig = getent ("slider_trigger ", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
door movez (80, 2, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");
wait (4);
door movez (-80, 2, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");
}
}

I dont get why you told me to erase the origin tho because in your tutorial it says "keep in mind to include a brush origin inside." But you better than me with all this so im not gonna question you lol.

Yep also stuck with this tutorial [hence my post on "request"]

Not enough details is given about the origin brush.

I make both Brush and Origin a script_brushmodel yet it still doesn't work. Definitly a problem somewhere to do with the origin. Any more info you could give to help us Stryder?

ok...here is how it works

when you draw a brush - it has an origin...this is the exact center of your cubic coordinates...

think of the exact dead center of a cube...this is that cubes origin

when you draw an origin brush (for a hinge on a door, or a rotational axis) and link it to the object (either through scripting or in the map editor) you are changing the origin of the cube (because you are in essence changing the rotational axis....or making a hinge)

double check your .map entities, especially your targetnames, as most often they are the culprit

hopefully that answers your questions

if not i will throw together a little map tonight (if i have time) that will have a rotating and a sliding door...and post it in the suppliments section - let me know

LMAO, sorry for being so dumb. Could you please make a small map that shows me how to move anything?

If your need my email address it is Jesse_Bowen123@hotmail.com

see tuts on moving along the z access...like doors, and x acces like the sliding door up..but how about along the y access...want to use it to slide a bridge across a canal!

and i'm having the same problem here...help would be appreciated!

Yes! I got it working. Thanks a lot guys. I gotta question about it tho. Right now im using a button that i have to press to open my door. Is there a way so that when i run through a trigger it opens my door? And when im using buttons is there a way i can press the button again after it goes to the end to bring it down without waiting for the seconds i told it to wait in the script? (I hope that made since lol.)
