Scripting questions

[HDL_CinC_Dragon]

ok, heres the situation...
1 bridge platform consisting of 2 brushes
2 sides each with one switch
Axis side Switch |Bridge| Switch Allies side

how do i make it so that they go from horizontal to vertical? like a real bridge? and if that dosnt work, ill just make one that spins in the center.
Any ideas?

Wacko's Recycling bin has something along those lines...

click the 'misc' button at the bottom.

if this is what you are asking for.

This tutorial map also has a one sided draw bridge w/sound--the trigger is in the river.

To make a bridge its basicly a rotating_func door.

You make an origin where the bridge goes up like |._ (. is where the origin would go)

You select all the bridge that move and the origin brush and make it a script_object, call it key/value targetname/mybridge

Then make a trigger_use with key/value setthread/bridge

Then in your script put this:

bridge:
$mybridge loopsound lighthouse_run
$mybridge time 10
$mybridge rotateyup -65
$mybridge waitmove
$mybridge stoploopsound lighthouse_run
wait 25
$mybridge loopsound lighthouse_run
$mybridge time 10
$mybridge rotateydown -65
$mybridge waitmove
$mybridge stoploopsound lighthouse_run
wait 1
end

... and your done

someone told me that doors couldnt rotate like that. is this true?

[bdbodger]

Rotate y? that is a flat spin isn't it . don't you mean x or z . I mean it the script object is from origin to bridge faceing 0 or 180 then you rotate x but if it is 90 or 270 then you rotate z . When you create a script object it's angles are ( 0 0 0 ) .

[omniscient]

what im saying is i didnt know doors could rotate up and down.

[bighoss]

You cant use func>rotating_door to make the bridge to rotate up. It doesnt work. You have to use script to make something rotate up or down.

so is he wrong?

[bighoss]

Yes he is wrong. I've read it a couple times here in the forums. Not sure which threads, but I know its here. I've also tried it, because I wanted to make a secret hatch that lead down to a tunnel in an old project of mine.

I didnt fully explain myself here then.

What i meant to say is, to make a bridge you basicly use the same tecnique making a func_rotating door, ie, Selecting all the bridge+origin and making it a script object. (if you read my post again, you'll see that said its like a func_rotatingdoor, i said use a script_object!)

As for the x,y,z. I used a script that i found that someone else did, i copied there script entry for it, and for some strange reason y made the bridge turn upside down (barrel role)

So yes, z is the correct term to use.

Hope that clears it up.

Shortricci I had no intention on offending you by what I said. I was just trying to tell Omniscient that you can't use rotating_door to make something rotateup. Also the script you put is a good example.

Sorry if i explained it like you thought you had.

Thanks for the compliment.
