Well we almost had it. You said the first keypad worked. And when you added the second keypad, neither of them worked. Correct?

Sounds to me like the scripts are conflicting with eachother.
So i renamed every word in the second keypad inside the threads just to be 100 percent sure this wouldn't pose a problem.

I guess try these two files.
Here

If that doesnt work... uh... I haven't done alot of mapping.. So just make sure your triggers in your map are the right name, and at the right location.. etc. If that sounds silly, its cuz i dont know what i'm talking about

If they don't work. Try the first one alone.. If that works, try the second one alone. If it doesn't work on the second one.. Then thats where our problem lies, and we need to work on that.

Other than that, good luck. I hope it works

The scripts posted in my last post are completely separate - they will only conflict if you try and merge them into one file.

Looking at your map:

- You need a skybox as currently the map leaks - check the compiler for details
- a DM spawn would help testing and is always good to include incase all else fails.
- Less lights in the bit room with the ramps and circle thing - just increase the radius.

------------------

Ok I did get it working.

Not quite sure what the exact cause was. The three keys 3, 6 and 9 were not working on the first keypad.

I:

1. Recreated these triggers from scratch
2. Moved the trigger multiple inwards slightly - not sure if this was a problem
3. Created a caulk skybox

One or more of these may have fixed the second keypad, but that worked straight away for me. For some quirky reason I suspect it was the lack of skybox. Scripts are both fine. If you want to check that a button is being triggered add a debug line to the script

while(1)
   {
      if(isDefined(level.buttonPressed))
      {
         iprintln("found a button " + level.buttonPressed); // Add this line
         if(level.buttonPressed == nextButton)
         {
            entryPosition++;

For the keypad2.gsc change the level.buttonPressed to level.buttonPressed2 on the iprintln line.

As a sidenote your arena file has a double extension - it should be 'mp_treehouse3.arena' not 'mp_treehouse3.arena.arena'

Lol. Yeah, pretty much like Pedro said.

how do i fix the triggers then?

Well first try creating a skybox - caulk will do. If that doesn't help rebuild the triggers.

If you are really struggling, remove your keypads (save them as a prefab) and insert the keypad from my download as they definitely work.

sry for double post :| but this might actually be good.

i fixed the leak thing like you said, but now i get an fx error which i will rewrite. i think this is good though, cause the leak file might have been messing up my scripts so if u can help me fix this, everything else might work.

Error:

********* SCRIPT RUNTIME ERROR***********
type undefined is not an int: (file '/maps/mp/_fx.gsc', line 189)

looper = playLoopedFX (level._effect[FXiD], ent.delay, ent.org, dist);

started from:
(file 'maps/mp/_fx.gsc', line 152)
wait .05 //wait frame

******************************************

Looking now at your mp_treehouse3_fx.gsc file you are trying to run a non-existent effect.

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["mp_treehouse_bubbles"] = loadfx ("fx/mp_treehouse_bubbles.efx");
	level._effect["mp_treehouse_mist"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/fogbank_small_duhoc.efx");
}

ambientFX()
{
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("watertutorialbubbles", (408, -328, -160), 0.9);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("watertutorialbubbles", (448, -64, -168), 0.9);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("watertutorialmist", (432, -224, -190), 0.7);
}

You load the bubbles effect with the fxid 'mp_treehouse_bubbles' but you are trying to play an effect called 'watertutorialbubbles'. The same problem is happening with the mist.

Give this a go - try and see how the fx file works.

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["mp_treehouse_bubbles"] = loadfx ("fx/mp_treehouse_bubbles.efx");
	level._effect["mp_treehouse_mist"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/fogbank_small_duhoc.efx");
}

ambientFX()
{
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("mp_treehouse_bubbles", (408, -328, -160), 0.9);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("mp_treehouse_bubbles", (448, -64, -168), 0.9);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("mp_treehouse_mist", (432, -224, -190), 0.7);
}

I'm not sure why the stock fx creation file is generating an error as it should be checking all the function arguments. If that doesn't work then we'll look again ;-)

I'm surprised that the error is saying that a variable is undefined and should be an int as fxid should be a string :-S

that fixed the fx error thanks, and now the second elevator keypad one is working. but i cant get the first one to work, i have remade the triggers multiple times, but still nothing works. i looked at your mp_keypad2, but couldnt find a keypad or anything so i will keep trying to recreat the triggers using different methods. any more suggestions?

Did you try this, Notdeadyet ?

what trigger multiple??? i am using all damage triggers. :|
