problem with objeective
I've tried to add something to one of my objectives, but now none of my objectives work. My script works, but the obj's don't, which leads me to believe it's in mapping. What I've done is try to create a cave-in in a tunnel underneath my bomb objective. I've made it all part of the exploder set and checked everything over. It seems to be in order. I've added the dustfrom ceiling exploderfire effect, but that's the only thing different than my other exploderfires. Anyone have any idea what it could be? I've looked logfile over and I can't see any significant error messages in it.
Well, thought I had this fixed but guess not. I had an error in one of the k/v pairs, fixed it, but still get the same problem. I've also realized that my ambient script doesn't play either- so it's like none of my global scripts are working, though my custom threads do work. However, I really doubt that it's anything wrong in my script because I haven't changed it at all. Then again, I'm starting to think it's not my map either. Anyone have any ideas????
Still no luck! The script model for the dust fx was correct, but I even got rid of it and the global elements still do not work. I checked for any wierd script models in entity info, but all of them check out fine. I'm wondering if it's one of two things and maybe someone could confirm this before I get rid of everything and try it.
1st theory: I followed Bjarne's tut for the exploder and for the killarea portion, I created two trigger multiples, one for the area where the bomb goes off and one for the tunnel where it caves in. I selected them both and gave them the targetname "groundzero2" (as opposed to "groundzero" which is the trigger multiple targetname of my other exploder). Is having two separate trigger multiples with the same targetname the problem?
2nd theory: The cave-in exploder, exploderfire, and explodersmashed brushes are separated from the bomb-area exploder, exploderfire, and explodersmashed brushes by structural brushes. Yet, I've made them all part of the same set obviously. Is having these brushes separated by a structural brush creating my problem?
Thx

Scripts
I found in one person's map that the cardgame script will effect the exploder script and cause it not to work. There are probably other scripts that do that too, so try different locations for the "exec global/exploder.scr" line in your script. You can also test this by temporarily commenting out lines that call for scripts one by one.
Tom Trude,
yep Tom, you're on the right track. There's something wrong with my script. Here it is:
The yellow section is what I've been moving around. Originally, I had it before level waittill prespawn and the door lock worked fine, but I had my exploder set problems. The I moved it after level waittill spawn and the exploder systems and docs obj worked fine, but the door was unlocked at the start of the level. I've moved it just about everywhere but can't get it perfect. What do you think?script:

exec
"thread global/exploder.scr::main" Should be "exec global/exploder.scr". The exploder script says to put that line above level waittill prespawn. Also, the door things are preperation and not a thread. They go under levelwaittill prespawn (without the end).
A thread always starts with a lable like, "mydoor:" and ends with the word "end" (mostly). So, what you have in yellow is not a thread. It is just a couple of variables being set up for the real door thread.
