.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I was coming down the stairs when i saw a door open upward from the ground. THATS COOL !! How do you do this? I tried shoving origin off to oneside while looking in a different view and i tried different angles. None of them seemed to do the trick. Any ideas?

Use a func_door with angle -1 (up, -2 is down). Design the door in a closed position.

The door will open if you walk close enough or shoot at it.

You may also target a trigger to the door, it won't respond to damage anymore if you do this.

I tried to do this with a square panel on the ceiling to go to the attic using a latter. When I use func_door with the angle -1 (up) it only budges a bit like its going to open, but stops and the sound plays through.

I tried placing my origin at different places, i tried not using origin at all and to no success. i also tried all of the above with the rotatingdoor function and no luck there also.

Any one knows what I'm doing wrong?

Hmm the door should move up its own dimensions minus its lip value.

How tall is your door?

the panel is 16 wide X 32 long.

what is this about calculating dimention?

actually if you want you can download the prefab at
http://www.alliedassault.us go in the prefab area and download the mansion. I gave up on it and left it at 90 deg. with the func_door.

Are you sure that the door you are talking about in Malta isn't a scripted door? The func for doors in mohaa doesn't work as some other games, like in RTCW where you can make a hatch using the func, that's not possible in mohaa, you must script it.

Well easy to find out, look at the script

Only don't have Spearhead demo anymore .

I recycled it

Recycle? As in delete?

This is from Malta, and I don't think it's the large metal gate that you can open and close (there is some other scripting for that) but I'm not sure

trapdoor_init:
self solid
self damage 0
level.trapdoor_state = 0
trapdoor_loop_start:
self waittill use
if (level.trapdoor_state == 0)
{
self thread trapdoor_open
}
else if (level.trapdoor_state == 1)
{
self thread trapdoor_close
}
goto trapdoor_loop_start
end

trapdoor_cycle local.duration:
wait local.duration
if (level.trapdoor_state == 1)
{
self thread trapdoor_close
}
end

trapdoor_open:
level.trapdoor_state = 1
self openportal
self playsound gate_wood_open_move
self rotatezupto 90
self time 1
self waitmove
self playsound gate_wood_open_stop
self thread trapdoor_cycle 15

end

trapdoor_close:
self playsound gate_wood_close_move
level.trapdoor_state = 0
self rotatezdownto 0
self time 1
self waitmove
self playsound gate_wood_close_stop
self closeportal
end

I guess I would put Targetname = trapdoor or something like that to associate it with the script?

thanks for your time people

This is from the Malta (converted) map file...so you're right, trapdoor it should be!!

// Entity #2
{
"origin" "-2056 -2480 -1392"
"classname" "script_object"
"$targetname" "trapdoor"

Oops I thought you meant the large metal gate near the bridge that slides up or down if you press the button.
