well azz and stryder...i got it working...well sort of!!!

the bridge now retracts...but it goes back to where it started! I used the .gsc from the tutorial on scripting...and changed the wait (4) to a higher number to make it take longer. But that's just not what I had in mind, i was looking to make it so that it won't re-extended until you press the trigger again...here's the .gsc any ideas? Looking at other scripts at the moment so i can try to figure it out!

Code:

main() { thread door_slider (); } door_slider () { door = getent ("bridge", "targetname"); trig = getent ("bridge_move", "targetname"); while (1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); door moveY (400, 5, 0, 0.5); door waittill ("movedone"); wait (120); door moveY (-400, 5, 0, 0.5); door waittill ("movedone"); } }

Hi m8, glad to see you cracked it. Stryder is the man isnt he?
If you want the bridge to stay extended till the trigger is actioned just remove the wait (120); line and replace it with a copy of the trig waitill ("trigger"); line

I think thats what your after but may be wrong.

Cheers A

i will try that...once i reinstall COD and UO...last night right after i got it moving..when i was compiling...i went to rename Call of Duty to Game to finish the compile process, and accidently deleted the Call of Duty files. So...I'll let you know if that works once i re-install...thanks for the help Azz and Styder...you guys rock!!!!

okay i got it working the way i want it now...yahoo!!!! Now i just have to figure out how to make it make noise when it moves...(almost got that down i think), and how to make the switch animate from the down position to the up position and vise versa! You know how they look if you play the CNQ mode of play from After-Hourz. ANy ideas on where to find this info out?

Thanks for all your help guys!

ok - here is the sample i said i would get out http://www.modsonline.com/Downloads-full-2337.html

it is nothing special...but hey - it should get the idea across

as for sound...take a look at the elevator in mp tutorial here it walks you through adding sounds - just keep in mind that UO may require you to have a second sound csv

animations....ehrm...i havent seen the mod, so i dont know whther it is an actual animation or simply replacing the model with a swith in the on position to a switch in the off position...
if it is a simple model replacement - then ya...easy as pie....animations...well....thats BR3NT's speciality

okay well get this...i'm the world's biggest idiot....after spending months on this map, and days getting this bridge to move...what do you know I go and delete the whole directory with all my map files :-( How i do this...accediently when i went to move the back-up files to a safe location off this computer...when to hit copy, and hit delete by accident. I know I know i should have used the recyclebin but I always forget to empty it, and don't wanna have the misses finding the porn in it :-) Well thank you Styder, AZZ, and everyone else who has helped me figure some of this scripting stuff out! I guess this time i'll just go for even bigger challenges! Anyone know how to put a satellite in space? Looking for help here!!!! J/k Thanks everyone!!!!
