well here is the script. it supposed to open a door (by moving it upwards):

main() {
simpson = getentarray ( "simpson", "targetname”);
simpson thread function();
function()
{
simpson movez ( 30, 10);
}
}


lol simpson it from the tutorial

i didnt understand the tutorial completely. im *ucked up =]


Thanks!

you sure you got the correct trigger brush etc and in the right place mate?



just carefully check tutorial and make sure!


the script seems right to me (i think lol!)

Code:

main() { simpson = getentarray ( "simpson", "targetname”); simpson thread function(); } function() { simpson movez ( 30, 10); }

Functions go outside of main.

ok...well...you missed a couple of points from the tutorial

when you have more than one "simpson" and they are all going to do the same thing - then you need to get an array of them...and assign each one a number...like so:

Code:

allsimpsons = getentarray ("simpson", "targetname"); for (i=0; i<allsimpsons.size; i++);

since you are only getting one simpson...you should be using the getent command...like so:

Code:

simpson = getent ("simpson", "targetname");

i also see that you dont have a trigger call....so you need to create that in your .map (if you havent) and call on it in your script

in your .map - create a trigger_use (using textures --> common --> trigger) and draw out a trigger...right click it in 2d and select trigger --> use
bring down the entity editor and give it the targetname simpsontrigger

your script will now look something like this

Code:

main() { simpson = getent ( "simpson", "targetname"); trig = getent ("simpsontrigger", "targetname"); trig waittill ("triggered", other); simpson thread function(); } function() { simpson movez ( 30, 10); }

other than that....if you have your door in your map...have made it a script_brushmodel...and given it the targetname simpson....all should work

U guyz rule... really helpful 10x il try it

oh man something is wrong... i did exactly what u typed (stryder
) and it doesnt respond to anything plus whenever i try to put a trigger brush in radiant it disappears after i deselect it :( WTF is wrong?

click view --> show --> and make sure that everything has a checkmark....you will find your missing trigger...and probably some other things

i have also created a sample map that you can look at for how things are put together - using the methods in the tutorial
you can download it here

Thanks dude

Ah its working ! (mine not yours) lol

now heres another issue:

main ()
{
level.doorDown=true;
simpson = getent ("door", "targetname");
trig = getent ("doortrig", "targetname");

trig waittill ("trigger");

if (level.doorDown) {
simpson movez (100,5);
simpson waittill ("movedone");
level.doorDown = false;
}

else {
simpson movez (-100,5);
simpson waittill ("movedone");
level.doorDown = true;
}


}


supposed to open a door by one [Use] and close it by anoter.

if u post the answer please explain things that u think are necesary.

i have some experience in C/php....
