I need a little bit of scripting help. What im doing is making a train that just goes straight 1912 units. To make the train move you press this little button outside of the train. When you get to where it stops. There is another button there that you can press to go 1912 units in reverse. I have the script made for it and everything. Its just that when my train is at the first stop, and I jump out and go back to the button to make it go foward. It keeps going forward. Through the wall and everything. How can i get it so when i press that button again the train wont go any farther. I got it to work one time I just erased the waittill ("movedone") part but then the forward button doesnt work anymore. Will someone please try to help me with this and i hope you all understood that lol i cant explain things to well.

Post your script. So we can see what you've got going on.

Ok here is my 2 scripts.

trainforward.gsc

main()
{
thread door_slider ();
}

door_slider ()
{
door = getent ("train", "targetname");
trig = getent ("train_trigger", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
wait (1);
door movex (1912, 20, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");

}
}



trainbackwards.gsc

main()
{
thread door_slider ();
}

door_slider ()
{
door = getent ("train", "targetname");
trig = getent ("train2_trigger", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
wait (1.5);
door movex (-1912, 20, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");

}
}

If i had to guess you need to reset the threads after they are completed. so they look like this:
trainforward.gsc

main()
{
thread door_slider ();
}

door_slider ()
{
door = getent ("train", "targetname");
trig = getent ("train_trigger", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
wait (1);
door movex (1912, 20, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");
thread door_slider();
}
}



trainbackwards.gsc

main()
{
thread door_slider ();
}

door_slider ()
{
door = getent ("train", "targetname");
trig = getent ("train2_trigger", "targetname");
while (1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
wait (1.5);
door movex (-1912, 20, 0, 0.5);
door waittill ("movedone");
thread door_slider();
}
}

Ok man ill go try that out thanks.

Sorry man it doesnt work, thanks a lot for trying to help me though.

i would suggest taking a look at the elevator tut/map/prefab. Pretty sure you need to put if..then statements in the script..so that its basically...

if train is at switch A..move forward
if train is at switch B...move backward

don't know the scripting language to write it out...but take a look at those tuts for help!

lmao...was just about to type the same thing...but was removing the double post

the elevator tut will show you how to define if the train is moving...and if so...to disable the triggers

lol ok thanks guys ill look at it. I think i have it downloaded already.

Hey guys i dont think that elevator script will work with the map i made. Because it has the go up and go down button in the same script. Ill see if i can explain what im trying to do in my map a little more. Ok im trying to make this train move (its not really a train but it slides on these rails lol) its got 2 buttons with 1 trigger for each button ok. The first button moves the train foward the second one moves the train back to the first one. Im trying to get them to work so that when i press them twice they dont go through the wall. I still have the same scripts as i posted up there.

Im very new to this scripting thing lol.
