Make a trigger_use around your switch graphics, give it key/value setthread/up_n_down
Put this in your script...

thanks, but it doesn't work right, here is my problem... when map loads door goes up and the doesn't come down.... trigger doesn't work

here is script:
// Door Test
// ARCHITECTURE: SlasherZ
// SCRIPTING: SlasherZ

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Door Test"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none" // your score board picture

level waittill prespawn

exec global/DMprecache.scr

exec global/ambient.scr yourmapname
// may want to make your own ambient sounds, read the tut

level.script = "maps/dm/door.scr"
// remember to put in your map name

level waittill spawn

up_n_down:
$door moveup 134
$door waitmove 7
$door movedown 134
end

end

Try The if stuff is to prevent multiple triggerings of the door.
( The error for you was that you had no move command after the movedown command )

ok thanks! this has helped me understand scripting a little more!

Glad to help.

that will prevent multiple triggerings but it's un-needed with the script you have,

$door moveUp 134
$door speed 3 //will take 3 seconds to move to destination
$door waitmove //executes all directions, angles and speeds set for entity

/*therefore you'll need a $door waitmove or $door move after the
downward settings*/
$door moveDown 134
$door waitmove

The way you have the script, the door will open as soon as the player spawns. Your door thread should be after the "end" line.

---------------------------------------------
level waittill spawn

end

up_n_down:

$door moveup 134 //sets the direction and distance
$door waitmove //tells it to move and stops the script until it is done
wait 7 //wait for 7 seconds
$door movedown 134 //sets the direction and distance
$door move //tells it to move

end
---------------------------------------------

But, something has to tell this thread to run when the door is triggered. There are two ways you can do that. The first is to put the following key/value in the trigger_use:

Key: setthread
Value: up_n_down

That make the trigger run the thread when a player uses it.

The second way is to put the trigger's targetname into the script and start the thread in prespawn like this:

---------------------------------------------
level waittill prespawn

thread up_n_down // starts the thread

level waittill spawn

end

up_n_down:

$door_trigger waittill trigger //script waits here for the trigger event.
$door moveup 134
$door waitmove
wait 7
$door movedown 134
$door move

end
---------------------------------------------

This is a good practice door, but the same thing can be done by just making it a func_door with a targetname and "targeted" set. Then just target the door with the trigger_use.

Key: target
Value: door

A red line will connect the trigger and the door.
