hmm why so complicated?

i used at my elevater with some floors the funktion "moveto" and i think its much easier ... am I wrong?

greets kAl

Well. I want 2 triggers on it (by the way: the elevator works fine, I'm now talking about a platform you stand on, which moves along X instead of Z).
If I use the function "moveto" and 2 triggers it works - except that the triggers doesn't work. The platform moves without me triggering it.

I'm not really sure why you are having so much trouble as your elevator work fine.

You need exactly the same script for your sliding thing. The one you've posted is not the same.

I'm not really sure where the script is going, as regards the trigger on / off functions which actually don't do anything (as self is never defined) - maybe you mean something like

sliderswitch triggeroff();

Are you sure your slider switch is created in radiant properly?

The trigger on/off functions works fine even though I didn't write "sliderswitch" before "triggeroff();"
I tried with and without "sliderswitch" and it worked the same way.. Then I decided to remove "sliderswitch" from the trigger on/off function since it looks better this way


I am using the exact same script as the elevator (just with diff targetnames). I added the trigger on/off in the elevator script, and it works fine.
But I think I found the error now.. I was looking through the script and then I saw something: When replacing elevator targetnames with slider names, I accidently deleted "Down".

Before: if (level.slider)
After: if (level.sliderDown)

I'm testing it now to see if it makes a difference (I think it does )

As I thought - it works perfect

uh...you guyz seem like you know a lot about this elevator/scripting thing. Me on the other hand, know NOTHING about either. I just made a pretty awesome map and i wanted to add an elevator

I don't want to seem demanding, but i am merely wondering if it is possible to make an elevator that goes up a certain distance, after, lets say 5 seconds, comes back down to it's original postion.

What I have already tried: The brush i am trying to move, i made it a script/brushmodel and put in targetname/elevator. Then, i made a damage trigger and put in targetname/trig_elevator. Then i made a script (.gsc) file called mp_elevator.gsc
The code inside follows:

main()
{
thread elevator();
}

elevator()
{
elevator=getent("elevator","targetname");
trig=getent("trig_elevator","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (-250,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(1);
elevator movez (250,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
}
}

(sorry i didn't put it into the code thingy)
I put this line into my map .gsc file:
maps\mp\mp_elevator::main();

And that's what i've done. The only problem is that the trigger either doesn't work or i did something WRONG!!

I'm not even sure if this code will make the elevator do what i want (and come down after 5 seconds)....

Btw, I have no idea how to make my own scripts, i'm willing to learn but i don't even know what computer language it uses....

So if you have any info that could help me out please don't hesitate to write it down asap! thanks
