.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I made a post about this in the mapping forum too....hoping i could get at least some help from either side of the mapping/scritping world...

Here is a picture of the triggers i have set for a "secret" hatch that opens when the triggers are used....

And here is a copy of the script that is used to move the trigger....

Code: Select all

//---------------------------------------------
// Manhole_Cover2
//---------------------------------------------
manhole_cover2_mover:
  while(1) // Forever
  {
    $manhole_cover2_trigger waittill trigger
    $manhole_cover2 time 2
    $manhole_cover2 playsound ("door_metal_open_move" + (randomint(3) + 1))
    $manhole_cover2 rotateXup -90
    $manhole_cover2 waitmove
    $manhole_cover2_trigger waittill trigger
    $manhole_cover2 playsound ("door_metal_close_move" + (randomint(1) + 1))
    $manhole_cover2 rotateXdown -90
    $manhole_cover2 waitmove
    $manhole_cover2 playsound ("door_metal_close_stop" + (randomint(2) + 1))
  }
  // removed a goto and replaced it with a while loop
end

And for some reason...the trigger does not work in game...can anyone help me????

That random number generation is not nessesary, MOH:AA does that automagically if you have sonds like "x1", "x2" and "x3". Just play "x"

So to your prob: are you getting any scrip errors in the console?

i'd replace all the triggers that you have with one trigger over the hatch

No i dont have any script errors but i did what nugget said and it works perfectly fine now.....the one trigger on the left was working instead of the other two so i jsut took the one on the left and made it larger......thanks!

If you have more that one entity with the same targetname if forms an targetname array so you can't use

$manhole_cover2_trigger waittill trigger

you would use

$manhole_cover2_trigger[1] waittill trigger
$manhole_cover2_trigger[2] waittill trigger
$manhole_cover2_trigger[3] waittill trigger
