Anyone help please looked at following script till my Eyes Cross Pretty sure its just a Brain Fart at least i hope it is

  main() 


 maps\mp\_load::main();
 thread moveslider(); 
{
moveslider()
   {
     hoist = getentArray("slide","targetname");
     if(isdefined(hoist))
    for(i=0;i< hoist.size;i++)

  } 
     trig = getent ("slide_triger", "targetname"); 
   
   while(1)
      { 
      hoist movey(-199,0.05);
      wait(20);
      trig waittill("trigger");
      lamp movey(199,0.05);
      lamp waittill("movedone");
      wait (5);
      }
}

Am getting following Error when i try to compile:



im sure we have all seen that.
looked and nothing is in the Consolel.


If someone find's the obvious please post it for me
and any sugestions if this is going to work.

Thanks

I'm not much of a scripter but I do have some experience in programming, something seems odd with your "for loop". It doesn't do anything, it just adds 1 to "i" until it reaches the size of your array. Is it suppose to do something?

Wow ok i really messed up some reason my editor didnt updat my file so it wasent even right Script Here is the Correct script im trying to debug.

 main() 


 maps\mp\_load::main();
 thread moveslider(); 
{
moveslider()
   {
     hoist = getentArray("slide","targetname");
     if(isdefined(hoist))
	 for(i=0;i< hoist.size;i++)
    } 
     trig = getent ("slide_triger", "targetname"); 
   
   while(1)
      { 
	  trig waittill("trigger");
      hoist movey(199,10);
	  hoist waittill("movedone");
      wait(5);
      trig waittill("trigger");
      hoist movey(-199,10);
      hoist waittill("movedone");
      wait (5);
      }
} 

Zestycookie i am still learning with the Scripting its verry possible i left something out.

your whole script is messed up. brackets in wrong places, function definitions inside other functions, missing for-body, maybe logical problem with the trigger entity* and bad usage of an entity array.

i suggest you redo the whole script yourself or explain what you try to do*, so that anybody else offers working code.

*Do you really want to have a single trigger for many script_brushes?

This would be more of what it should look like, Snipethis.
You had missing brackets, reversed brackets, a for loop in which i saw no use for. I did see the getentArray ..but still.. I have no idea what you are trying to do.

main()
{
	maps\mp\_load::main();
	thread moveslider(); 
}

moveslider()
{
	hoist = getent("slide","targetname");
	trig = getent("slide_trigger", "targetname"); 

	while(1)
	{
		trig waittill("trigger");
		hoist movey(199,10);
		hoist waittill("movedone");
		wait(5);
		trig waittill("trigger");
		hoist movey(-199,10);
		hoist waittill("movedone");
		wait (5);
	}
}

me neither, so i tried to keep the original semantics as good as possible (but don't really like it):

main()
{
	maps\mp\_load::main();
	thread moveslider_thread();
}

moveslider_thread()
{
	hoist = getentArray("slide","targetname");
	if(isdefined(hoist))
	{
		for(i=0;i< hoist.size;i++)
		{
			hoist[i] thread moveslider();
		}
	}
}

moveslider()
{
	trig = getent ("slide_triger", "targetname");
	
	while(1)
	{ 
		trig waittill("trigger");
		self movey(199,10);
		self waittill("movedone");
		wait(5);
		
		trig waittill("trigger");
		self movey(-199,10);
		self waittill("movedone");
		wait (5);
	}
}

you better say you started learning

ok Sorry what i am Trying to do is

Have this Item wich i made in Radiant of a Overhead Crain , then made a origin brush selected all and made it into a:


with targetname, slider1
placed said item into a map conected it to a Trigger-Multiple - targetname, slider_triger - target, slider1

So all i am trying to do is move the Crain cariage back and forth on the "Y" axis.

everything i have read says if have more than one brush your moving it must be in a Array format.

As i said i am still learning or trying to

Thanks again

that's not right, you have to use entity arrays if you name (targetname) more than one entity, e.g. script_brushmodel, the same way.
