Soviet's Mapping Help

[Drofder2004]

I think you need the origin brush or it won't rotate where you want it...but you should've selected both door and origin brush and made them a script_brushmodel at the same time, if you made them separate brushmodels it won't work.

Ah, ofcourse. forgot Havent done rotations for a long time.

As luke said, Make the door, then make the origin brush (this will act as the "hinge") then select both and make them a script_brushmodel

ok, i did as you said and the map does not crash anymore, but the swinging door still does not work. If it is easier, could someone just tell me how to make a sliding door instead? because it really doesn't matter.

[Nightmare]

to make the slidding door just use my tut for the moving platforms.

[Soviet]

i tried to make a sliding door using your tutorial replacing trigger_multiple with trigger_use but it didn't work. This is my script:

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread secretdoor();
}

secretdoor()
{
platform = getent ("secretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("secretdoor_trigger","targetname");
while(1)
{
trigger waittill ("trigger");
wait(1);
platform moveZ (50,1,0.1,0.1);
wait(3);
platform moveZ (-50,1,0.1,0.1);
platform waittill ("movedone");
}
}

It doesn't work. I also tried moving it on the x and y axis with different time intervals. I checked several times and the names are correct. The thing i am moving is a script_brushmodel with the targetname secretdoor. The trigger is a trigger_use with the targetname secretdoor_trigger. The .gsc file is named secretdoor and is mentioned under my main .gsc. Is there anything i am missing?

[Drofder2004]

put iprintln's everywhere.

Code: Select all

main()
{
iprintln("Main started");
thread secretdoor();
iprintln("Secret Door Thread Run");
}

secretdoor()
{
iprintln("Secret Door Thread Started");
platform = getent ("secretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("secretdoor_trigger","targetname");
while(1)
{
iprintln("While loop running");
trigger waittill ("trigger");
iprintln("Triggered");
wait(1);
platform moveZ (50,1,0.1,0.1);
iprintln("First Move");
wait(3);
platform moveZ (-50,1,0.1,0.1);
iprintln("Second Move");
platform waittill ("movedone");
iprintln("Loop Complete");
}
}

And also. Just some quick checks for common errors...

Is the file....
1. Saved as GSC and not CFG
2. Saved with the EXACT same name as the bsp
3. In the correct folder (maps\mp)

[Soviet]

put that in place of my script, absolutely no change. And checked other stuff you said. Not sure what you meant by exact same name though im guessing main .gsc, in which case it is cause all my other scripts are working

[Luke]

sounds like its not running your gsc. it could be that there is another gsc with the same name conflicting with it...so maybe try naming the gsc file to something more unique.

[Soviet]

i changed name of .gsc and of trigger and door brushes by adding soviet in front. I also changed the main .gsc to access the new name. Still no result

[Luke]

Do you see a hint when you're near the trigger? you could also try adding the code as a new thread in the main gsc which you know is working, coz it should do something, at least one of those iprintln's should appear in game.

[Nightmare]

Soviet, if you want you can send me the .map over X-fire or MSN and I will add it.

[Drofder2004]

Post up all your GSC's Soviet. I'm almost 100% sure its a GSC problem and NOT a map problem.

while(1)
{
door_trigger waittill ("trigger");
door rotateto ((0,0,90),1);

wait 6;

door rotateto ((0,0,0),1);
}
}

and yes, a hand comes up when i look at the trigger ingame and i also tried adding to main .gsc, didn't work

[Drofder2004]

Ok, do this. Move all your GSS files to another folder for now.
We are going to use a new script JUST to test this door.

So.

soviet_standoff.gsc

Code: Select all

main()
{
   maps\mp\sovietsecretdoor::main();
}

sovietsecretdoor.gsc

Code: Select all

main()
{
wait 10; // FOR TESTING
iprintln("Secret Door Thread Started");
platform = getent ("sovietsecretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("sovietsecretdoor_trigger","targetname");
while(1)
{
iprintln("While loop running");
trigger waittill ("trigger");
iprintln("Triggered");
wait(1);
platform moveZ (50,1,0.1,0.1);
iprintln("First Move");
wait(3);
platform moveZ (-50,1,0.1,0.1);
iprintln("Second Move");
platform waittill ("movedone");
iprintln("Loop Complete");
}
}

Now hopefully. When you start up your map your first gsc will run. That GSC should then run the secret door GSC.
Then after 10 seconds you the thread will start.
You should now start seeing messages on the left hand side...

1. "Secret Door Thread Started"
2. "While loop running"
3. "Triggered" <-After you press the trigger.
4. "First Move" <- After 1 second
5. "Second Move" <-After another 3 seconds
6. "Loop Complete"

If you dont get any of that, then we have a map problem.
