can $object activate trigger?

[Wierdo]

Is it possible for an $object to activate a trigger?

Code: Select all

axischeck: 
$axischeck waittill trigger 
if (isTouching ($axis2 || $axischeck)) 
{ 
$axis1 show 
iprintlnbold "Axis possess the Castle." 
} 
else 
{ 
$axis1 hide 
} 
wait 5 
goto axischeck 
end 

Once the flag is at the top of the pole, The team will take the castle.

This is a best case scenerio, as either team can reel the flag back down.

Just use the player that is holding the flag.

if (level.flagman isTouching $axischeck)

Just use the player that is holding the flag.

The flag is on a pole in the castle and is a door class object. It will slide into a trigger-multple at the top of the pole. The player at no time actually holds the flag.

I need a means of registering when the flag reaches the top, and one of when it comes back down.

hmm, maybe ask bdbodger about his mod in ta, that sounds similar to what you're trying to do...

I figured out a way to make it happen, sorta. I made an AI and scaled him to .05. I used $flagman hide in the script and made a duplicate flagpole, then placed it in an unused portion of the map. Now, to get it to run, I made the trigger only usable by monsters. The mini - monster rides on the top of the flag, he is blind and deaf, so he just stands there and sets off the triggers.

But if this can be done a better way, I am all for it.

Perhaps
$flagpole touchtriggers ?

[Wierdo]

What are these touchtriggers you speak of? And how would I use one?

It's a script command that should make your flagpole capable of touching triggers.

You don't have to use a door as your flag. You can make it a script_object and move it up and down with a trigger_use and the script.

flag_mover:

$flag_trigger waittill trigger // wait for someone to use the trigger
$flag moveup 100 // how far up to move in units
$flag waitmove // starts it moving and waits until its done
$axis1 show
iprintlnbold "Axis possess the Castle."
$flag_trigger waittill trigger // wait for someone to use the trigger again
$flag movedown 100 // how far down to move in units
$flag waitmove // starts it moving and waits until its done
$axis1 hide
goto flag_mover

end

A trigger_use is triggered by a player hitting his use key. Any brush can be turned into a script_object and a static model can be applied as well, if needed.
