a Lever

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-15 22:56:00 UTC

ok, im trying to make a lever, im trying new things everyday lol. Ive ran into some problems, it wont move. I dont know y cause ive never made one like it before and i would search, but my crappy dial up keeps cutting me off every few mins so i dont get to stay on long enough

here is the map for it

its just a prefab model,no ground or nothing

and here is the script

door_trigger
{
spawn
{
}
trigger doorleverup
{
accum 1 abort_if_not_equal 1
trigger doorlever up
accum 1 set 0
wait 9000
}
trigger doorleverdown
{
accum 1 abort_if_not_equal 0
trigger doorlever down
accum 1 set 1
wait 9000
}
}

doorlever
{
spawn
{
}
trigger up
{
setrotation 45 0 0
}
trigger down
{
setrotation -45 0 0
}
}

Hope someone can teach me how to make one of these things, i need one really bad for my level

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-15 23:03:36 UTC

SORRY about the double post on the site, i hope someone can delete the other one, my internet cut me off right as i sent the first one and i didnt know it went in, sorry everyone

Oxygen_o2 · 2004-12-15 23:18:29 UTC

got a script_multiplayer?

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-15 23:25:07 UTC

yea, i got one in the map that it came from

zl1corvette · 2004-12-16 02:38:14 UTC

"classname" "target_script_trigger"
"origin" "298 -720 -1564"
"targetname" "door_callscript"
"scriptname" "door_trigger"
"target" "door_lever"
}

this entity calls something like this in the script


door_trigger
{
trigger door_lever
{
//do stuff
}
}

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-16 02:51:47 UTC

The target of the target_script_trigger has to be the name of the trigger in the script. You have the target as door_lever, while the door_trigger script has doorleverup and doorleverdown. If you want the user to control both activating and deactivating the lever, maybe you can have the func_invisible_user target 2 different target_script_triggers, and control which one runs the script_mover according to accums.

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-16 18:52:24 UTC

i would do that, but i dont understand much about accums yet

TFate · 2004-12-16 19:44:22 UTC

accums are very easy to use, I suggest you take a look at the .script files in xscript.pk3 to get a general idea of how they’re used. Believe me, they’re much easier to understand than this lever stuff.

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-16 19:54:22 UTC

The func_invis will target 2 target_script_triggers, and the script for those will look like this:

lever_trigger_up
{
spawn
{
accum 1 set 0  //starts in up position, so do not allow this to be run before going down
}
trigger setaccum  //accums are only relevant to the specific script they are in,
		  // so this allows other scripts to change the accum local to this script
{
accum 1 set 1  //this is triggered when the lever is moved down, to enable it to come back up
}
trigger leverup  //target of target_script_trigger
{
accum 1 abort_if_not_equal 1
accum 1 set 0  //prevents up from being run next
trigger lever_trigger_down setaccum  //allows down to be run next
trigger doorlever up
wait 9000
}
}


lever_trigger_down
{
spawn
{
accum 1 set 0
}
trigger setaccum
{
accum 1 set 1
}
trigger leverdown
{
accum 1 abort_if_not_equal 0
accum 1 set 1  //prevents down from being run next
trigger lever_trigger_up setaccum //allows up to be run next
trigger doorlever down
wait 9000
}
}

doorlever
{
spawn
{
}
trigger up
{
setrotation 45 0 0
}
trigger down
{
setrotation -45 0 0
}
}

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-16 20:11:16 UTC

thanks, im understanding alittle about the accums stuff, that is the main thing that is still confusing me, but least im learning lol, thanks for ur help

carnage · 2004-12-16 20:59:29 UTC

accums are basical 8 sets of vairiables (names that can hold a number)

each object can hold 8
e.g.

door
{
}

door is a object so it can have 8 inside that part of the script

when you have accums with numbers inside them you can use code to say stop running that part of the scritp

obort is accum 3 > 1

so the script will only be able to run right to the end if the accum 3 is less than 2. When you understand that you can use them to cleverly manipulate your script.

and btw you dont need a script multiplayer to run a test script map, the poaint of a script multiplayer is to give the object

game_manager
{
}

so inside that it can control the entire game

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-16 22:49:09 UTC

I hope you use the script I wrote, because it will work. But I’d understand if you’d be uncomfortable using something you didn’t write.

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-17 03:50:54 UTC

i tried the script, but it didnt work for some odd reason, i dont know what is wrong

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-17 05:19:09 UTC

Did you add the 2 target_script_triggers named lever_trigger_up and lever_trigger_down? Lever_trigger_up will have a targetname of leverup, and down will have a target of leverdown. Both target_script_triggers will have a targetname of door_callscript, according to the func_invisible you posted above.

EB1 · 2004-12-17 11:38:57 UTC

just in case you start over…HeRe

and accum and script tutorials…best I have found >>>HeRe

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-17 14:30:59 UTC

There you go, it’s the same system of setting accums I suggested. I actually learned most of my scripting by studying BoltyBoy’s work in WildWest.

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-18 03:21:59 UTC

ok, i got the lever to work and to some added scripting, i got it to make the gate do up and down

But now i have to questions

First, How do u get it to start in a -45 angle

Second, when i pull it up it doesnt want to work anymore, how can u make it where it keeps working?

Gringo_Starr · 2004-12-18 05:23:22 UTC

Post the script you are using now. To start it at a certain angle, you can either rotate the brush in Radiant, or each time the map loads.

Do this:

doorlever
{
spawn
{
wait 100 //allows time for entity to be created before trying to move it
setrotation -45 0 0
}

Lock_Ness_Monster · 2004-12-18 16:24:06 UTC

Here is the problem:

lever_trigger_down
{
spawn
{
accum 1 set 0
}

trigger setaccum
{
accum 1 set 1 <-------this should be 0
}
trigger leverdown
{
accum 1 abort_if_not_equal 0
accum 1 set 1
trigger lever_trigger_up setaccum
trigger door_lever down
trigger Gate down
wait 1000
}
}

Also, it looks like the gate_up and gate_down blocks are pointless, but maybe you were experimenting. I would steer clear of using capital letters, just in case (except for text the player will see of course :)).
