ok,
here is a thought. what if when you press your first button the "train" moves to the other end, waits for a few seconds, then returns to where it started from. then resets.
also if you are at the other button and press it, the train moves to the end where the second button is, waits a few seconds, then returns to the other end again. then resets.

or it could wait for the second trigger before the first one will work again.

Just an idea, don't know if it will work for you or not.

the elevator script would still work for you...just look at how it is working, and modify it to suit your needs...2 buttons is not a problem, unless you want to be able to use the trigger while the train is moving...if that is the case...i dont think there is any scripting that will help you

use the elevator tut, and change the movement to horizontal, add a second trigger...pie!

Hey my script for button 2 is in another script if i tell trigger #2 to wait for trigger #1 to be pressed will it read the second trigger since its in another gsc?

Lol you guys gotta believe me when i say im trying lol. Ok when I think I got the elevator script good for my map and try it out i get a script runtime error. I dont remember the error totally but it says somethin like this lol. entity is not array on this elevator waittill("trigger");

Here is the script that i tryed to get working. I didnt know if you had to change the "elevator"'s in this script to door. Like i had in my other script but here it is.

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

level.elevatorvar = "bottom";
elevator_start();
}

elevator_start()
{
trig = getent ("train_trigger", "targetname");
elevator = getent("train","targetname");
if(isdefined(elevator))
{
for(i=0;i {
elevator waittill("trigger");
elevator thread elevator_move();
}
}
}

elevator_move()
{

if (level.elevatorvar == "bottom")
{
thread elevatorup();
}

if (level.elevatorvar == "top")
{
thread elevatordown();
}

}



elevatorup()
{
elevatormodel = getent("train", "targetname");
elevatormodel movex(1912, 20);
elevatormodel waittill("movedone");
level.elevatorvar = "top";
thread elevator_start();
}

elevatordown()
{
trig = getent ("train_trigger2", "targetname");
elevatormodel = getent("elevatormodel", "targetname");
elevatormodel movex(-1912, 20);
elevatormodel waittill("movedone");
level.elevatorvar = "bottom";
thread elevator_start();
}

Lol i should just make my train go around in a oval around my whole map. If I knew how lol. there would be lots of scripting probably because of all those turns. I would have to rotate the train a lot.

Quote:

elevator_start() { trig = getent ("train_trigger", "targetname"); elevator = getent("train","targetname"); if(isdefined(elevator)) { for(i=0;i { elevator waittill("trigger"); elevator thread elevator_move(); } } }

you have an error here
try this

Code:

elevator_start() { trig = getent ("train_trigger", "targetname"); elevator = getent("train", "targetname"); trig waittill("trigger", other); elevator thread elevator_move(); }

if you call an array, that means that you have more than one location of an object simultaneously...so the way you are calling it...you have one trigger, and multiple elevators, the way i wrote it...you have one trigger and one elevator


also, look at the way that the script for the elevator tut uses the elevatormoving...that way if your train is moving, it will disable the trigger(s) to prevent it from travelling off the map or out of the range that you specified
