.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Ok, I am officially stumped.

I've made a lift in my map by following the tutorial over at rjukan project. Before I go on I'd like to thank them for doing that tutorial, very useful. Anyway, I want to add a light to the lift comprising of a static_lamp_lightbulb-caged, a static_corona_util and the light.

Obviously I need to bind those objects to the lift otherwise they won't move together.

First attempt: Give the corona and the light bulb the targetname "lift_cab_light" then, in the elevator_preparation thread;
This didn't work, when the lift starts moving, the light does not.

Second attempt: Give the corona the targetname "lift_cab_corona" and the lightbulb the targetname "lift_cab_light" then, in the same thread:
Same result.

I cannot believe that such a simple operation has confused me so much, I presume I have overlooked something so blatently obvious that I will need to do a ritual dance to make up for my stupidity. Anyway, any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks.

i just recently had that problem on one of my maps with a trigger and a switch. i had them perfectly scripted to bind to the elevator but no matter what i did it didnt bind. i even deleted the two things and even the elevator and redid them. same thing. so i had to chooses a didfferent option :-\ my first idea looked great but my new one isnt too bad.

did you make them script_models?

Yep, change the classname of both to "script_model". Be sure to make a backup of your .map first because script_models have a bad habbit of getting lost.

Ok, that seems to have done the trick, on a slightly different note, I want the light to be notsolid so it doesn't get in the way. Is this the right code:
Also, all of my other lights seem to have disappeared, but I'm not sure that is directly related to the lift light at the moment. I will look into that before posting on here about it.
Thanks again.

You can mark the NOT_SOLID checkbox for the script_model in Radiant ( will result in spawnflags = 1 ).

I have a cable car that I fixed a corona to like this: All done on the one line, I get lazy and try to avoid typing Local.this and local.that all the time

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I've decided to redo the lighting in my map as it doesn't suit what I want it to do, so that will fix the missing lights at the same time.
