no it isnt a ,aze... it is a series of floors connected by two evelators going up and down diagonally and connecting the stories of blocks... nice wacko... but its kinda boring... it needs something more....

well, I thought of ... errrm ... players?! :? But maybe u're right and this is not enough. So, what did u have in mind, for example?

I added another 2 elevators to make them four all together. Now the script is, well, not very pretty. If one of the scripting geniuses could take a look and tell me how to do it with 'self', because all elevators do the same... The new thecube.pk3 has the same link, map file included of course 8-)

i think this is right

Code: Select all

$elevator thread blah
blah:
self douyourthing
or if its an exec for the global or anims..

Code: Select all

$elevator exec global/blah.scr

Code: Select all

//global/blah.scr
main:
self doyourthing

and i think it needs to be more "bunkery" like secret rooms... or depots ar caches or something along those lines...[/code]

hehe, it ain't that easy unfortunately. the elevators could be done that way, but the doors? there surely is a pretty way to turn the mess into a clean script. But it's working, so there's no real need, rather esthetics...

mmm. give multiple spawnpoints the same targetname to dis-/enable them all together. seems to work... :?
then. is there a way to give the player that drowning effect? at the moment, i have a trigger_multiple with a volumedamage, but that's rather like taking a bath in acid. Somebody knows a map where players drown nicely? :wink:
