.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Thanks i'll try that

Thanks m8 for that last post, i will us that website a lot now!
I have to questions though:

1. How do you difine the origin of rotation???
2. Is ther a list of all the different movement actions (e.g. rotatez 40)

Thanks for all your help guys, and i will soon be on the way of making cool maps!

the tutorials i mentioned earlier in the other thread should do what ur looking for .
this is one of them
/t.php?id=83

Thanks this is axatly what i need, but i still don't know about setting the origin of rotation.

im not sure what exactly u mean by an origin of the rotation .
but maybe it could be solved by fishing the other 3 scripting tuts from the tutorial section .

What i mean by origin of rotation is the centre piont of were the object rotates

that usually IS in the center of whatever object u have selected ,i think u cant change that .but then again i might be wrong

Ok, do you have a map started that you can post of download, Dani? If you don't have a script, this one will do for now.

//----------------------------------------------->
main:

level waittill prespawn

$walls time 3 //sets the travel time
$slabs time 3 //sets the travel time

level waittill spawn

thread move_stuff //starts the thread

end

move_stuff:

wait 15 //wait 15 seconds

$walls movedown 256 //... sets the movement command and distance
$walls loopsound lighthouse_run //... starts a sound alias looping
$walls waitmove //... starts the object moving and halts the script
$walls stoploopsound //... stops the sound after the move is done

wait 2

$slabs movedown 256
$slabs loopsound lighthouse_run
$slabs waitmove
$slabs stoploopsound

end
//----------------------------------------------->


To use the above script, you would need to make a single script object out of all four walls and targetname it "walls". Do the same for the slabs. Copy the script to Notepad and name the file "mymapname.scr"--the same name as your bsp file. Then put both the bsp and script in main/maps/dm for testing. The walls should move down 256 units 15 seconds after you spawn. Of course, you can change anything you want in the script.

Hope that helps!

By the way if one of the brushes of a script object has the origin texture on it the object will rotate around that brush so if you want that make an origin brush before you make the object a script_object and select it with all the other brushes when you make it a script_object .

The French Tourist ! wrote:If you make more than 1 entity with the same targetname, the script will fail with an error message : "There are more than 1 entity with the same targetname ! This command requires exactly one !"

eh, when i made my liberation map, I have several cell doors(about 6 brushes a piece including a clip). I made each cell door a script_object of its own, but im pretty sure I did each door seperately. however, I move them in the script using one targetname for all the ones going in the same direction... (2 or 3 per direction) ... that worked without error...

lol im ALMOST positive I did it that way... say 99% sure... what were you trying to move there?

Thx m8 it worked!

One thing though if you stand bettween the wall and the floor it takes ur health down REALLY slowly cos some NOOB might stay there and then nobody would get out. How would i make it so that u instanly die if u goo bettween the wall and floor???

$walls damage 500

//500 isnt a ton of damage but enough to kill someoen in the way fairly quick, yet allows trhem to stop the movement for a bit if they want to sacrifice thier life. You want faster death, use a bigger numbers.

A dead body will also block the brushes from moving--until it vanishes. So, you might need a small pit to hold the bodies--32 units should be enough.

Thanks All but wouldn't walls damage also hurt someone if they touch the walls on a side aswell?

Thanks again for all your help guys!
P.S. is there a list of sounds i can use in my script??? like when a wall moves.

all the sounds are located in the pak files .so check them out and here them all i know its annoying but at least they are gonna be useful for future projects .

also ,if u want to add ur own sound check the sound tut in the tutorial sections

and no ,walldamage doesnt cause the player to be damaged when touching them
