        game["axis"] = "russian";
        game["attackers"] = "axis";
        game["defenders"] = "allies";
        game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland";
        game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland";
 
        setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );
        thread jumper();
}
 
jumper()
{
        jumpx = getent ("jump","targetname");
        glow = getent ("glow","targetname");
        air1 = getent ("air1","targetname");
        air2 = getent ("air2","targetname");
        air3 = getent ("air3","targetname");
        air4 = getent ("air4","targetname");
 
        level._effect[ "beacon_glow" ] = loadfx( "misc/ui_pickup_available" );
        maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("beacon_glow", (glow.origin), 3, (glow.origin) + (0, 0, 90));
 
        time = 1;
        for(;;)
        {
                jumpx waittill ("trigger",user);
                if (user istouching(jumpx))
                {
                        //throw = user.origin + (100, 100, 0);
                        air = spawn ("script_model",(0,0,0));
                        air.origin = user.origin;
                        air.angles = user.angles;
                        user linkto (air);
                        air moveto (air1.origin, time);
                        wait 1;
                        air moveto (air2.origin, time);
                        wait .5;
                        air moveto (air3.origin, time);
                        wait .5;
                        air moveto (air4.origin, time);
                        wait 1;
                        user unlink();
                        wait 1;
                }
        }
}

Thank you

Why are you checking if the user ittouching on the trigger?
If you want the player to trigger the trigger script from touching, you should use a trigger_multiple.


"user.angles" should be "user getPlayerAngles();".

You also need "air enablelinkto();"

Add those few things and let us know if there are any errors.

"user.angles" should be "user getPlayerAngles();".

Just wondering, why is this necessary? Do they not hold the same value? Because if you want to get the angles of an entity rather than a player, you have to use entity.angles since you can't do entity getPlayerAngles(), right?

[Nekoneko]

.angles will only return the angles of the collision cylinder, leaving out the x value (player looking up/down)

I see, thanks for clearing that up for me.
