I know how to open doors using a switch, and all that works fine. But I want to know how to make the door continually move the direction i say until i tell it to stop by using another switch. like what would i put in the script? i know the stuff like

movenorth 60

and so on. but what do i put instead of 60 to make the door never stop going north?

well I can't think why you want to do that but you can do this .

I assume your switch is a trigger_use and sets say it has the key: setthread and value: door_move

level.doormover=0


door_move:
if(level.doormover==0)
{
level.doormover=1
thread do_doormove
}
else
level.doormover=0
end

do_doormove:
while(level.doormover==1)
{
$door movenorth 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
}
end

now if you want to rotate it that is different . If you do this what do you think is going to happen if you don't stop it I guess it will stop when it hits a solid object .

If you issued the physics_on command before it will stop (or even bounce) when it hits a solid wall. Otherwise it will simply move through anything until you use the stop command.

ok that works good. now, i want the door to be able to move in any direction by the pressing of a switch. So how would i stop the door from moving one direction and make it move another?

Well in the above post if you use the same switch again it stops the door
you could do the same for all the directions or if a change in direction stops the previous direction move you can do that too . There is lots of ways to do it one way might be this .

Trigger use // north switch
key: setthread value: door_move
key: #set value: 1

Trigger use // south switch
key: setthread value:door_move
key: #set value: 2

Trigger use // east switch
key: setthread value:door_move
key: #set value: 3

Trigger use // west switch
key: setthread value:door_move
key: #set value: 4

for(local.i=1;local.i<=4;local.i++)
{
level.doormover[local.i] = 0
}
end

door_move:
if(level.doormover[self.set]==0)
{
level.doormover[self.set]=1
self thread do_doormove
}
else
level.doormover[self.set]=0
end

do_doormove:
while(level.doormover[self.set]==1)
{
switch (self.set)
{
case 1:
$door movenorth 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
break
case 2:
$door movesouth 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
break
case 3:
$door moveeast 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
break
case 4:
$door movewest 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
break
}
}

end
if you want the door to stop when you change directions make the case statements like this
case 1:
level.doormover[2] = 0
level.doormover[3] = 0
level.doormover[4] = 0
$door movenorth 10 // 10 units per second
$door move
wait 1
break
