I tried to start with scripting, following the Treyarch wiki (http://wiki.treyarch.com/wiki/Intro_To_Scripting)

When I run the map though, nothing is moving, and I get an error that the script cannot be found. Ofc I check that the script is in my mp_movetest.gsc.

I tried putting the move thread in a seperate gsc and included that in the main gsc.
I reread and tried the manual several times, compiled the map after changes to the script. I disabled the X axis movement so that the error wasn't in the size of the room...

But I cannot seem to solve this. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Or better yet, what is wrong with the manual?

Did you include the .gsc in your fast file?

Yes... But I think it has something to do with the location, especially since I saw that error in the console (can't remember the exact error, since I am not behind my homepc atm).

But the example on the Treyarch wiki should work?

Yes it probably should, where exactly did you put the file, and what is your line in the zone file list?

NovemberDobby writes...No, coz. there is an error.
The move() function isn't called from the main() function

It should look like this:

main()
{
	//maps\mp\mp_yourmapname_fx::main();		
	maps\mp\_load::main();
	
	//maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_yourmapname");

	// If the team nationalites change in this file,
	// you must update the team nationality in the level's csc file as well!
	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "german";
	game["attackers"] = "axis";
	game["defenders"] = "allies";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "german";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "german";

	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );
	setdvar("compassmaxrange","2100");

        thread move(); //  !!! missing line !!!
}

move() {

    // Assign any script object in the map with "targetname / move" to "moveEntity"
    moveEntity = getEntArray( "move" , "targetname" );

    //Always going, "while true" and 1 = true, 0 = false
    while (1)
    {
        //Rotating moveEntity 360 degrees in 5 seconds with 0 speed up time and 0 slowdown time
        moveEntity rotateyaw( 360, 5, 0, 0 );
        
        //Move moveEntity along the X axis 512 units in 5 seconds with a 1 second acceleration time and a .5 second deceleration time.
        moveEntity moveX( 512, 5, 1, .5 );

        //Having a slightly shorter wait time than move time assures us there are no hitches.
        wait 4.9;
    }
}

ARGGGGHhh. Gonna try that right away when I get home. Can't believe I missed that.

Ok, now, I know it loads the gsc, since I got an error that it couldn't find _move.gsc (I re-merged the _move.gsc and the mp_movetest.gsc).

However, my brush still isn't moving, and I get the followinf error:

Error: Could not load rawfile "clientscripts/mp/mp_movetest.csc"

Yes, it says csc. Am I still doing something wrong?
