elevator script???

[orestis5]

hello guys i need help with creating an elevator.i created a script>brushmodel then i pressed n and write key:targetname
value:elevator

afterward i created a script and i putted this:

main()
{
thread elevator();
}

elevator()
{
elevator=getent("elevator","targetname")­;
trig=getent("trig_elevator","targetname"­);
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (555,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(1);
elevator movez (-555,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
}
}

and i had created a mapname.gsc and i wrote this:

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

setExpFog(0.0001, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
// setCullFog(0, 16500, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_france");

game["allies"] = "american";
game["axis"] = "german";
game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";
game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity0", ".25");
setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity1", ".25");
setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3") ;

maps\mp\elevator::main();




}
when i run the map im getting a script compile error.any ideas????thanks for reading

[megazor]

in the game console, do:

Code: Select all

developer 1
map NameOfYouRMap

after the error appeared, open the game console - u will see there a message about the cause of the error.

I would personally recommend placing all your scripting in one gsc file, not spread over multiple files.

Code: Select all

main()
{

maps\mp\_load::main();

setExpFog(0.0001, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
// setCullFog(0, 16500, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_france");
game["allies"] = "american";
game["axis"] = "german";
game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";
game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity0", ".25");
setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity1", ".25");
setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3") ;

thread elevator();

}

elevator()
{
elevator=getent("elevator","targetname")­;
trig=getent("trig_elevator","targetname"­);
while(1)
{
trig waittill ("trigger");
elevator movez (555,7,1.9,1.9);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
wait(1);
elevator movez (-555,7,1.9,5);
elevator waittill ("movedone");
}
}

Also, try and use targetnames that aren't likely to conflict with targetnames in other people's maps (e.g. call 'elevator', 'mymap_elevator' for example).

I'm guessing you actually made a trigger for trig_elevator? (you didn't mention so in your post)

What is the script compile error? (it should say in console, if not then turn developer on and try again)

[orestis5]

well i had already check the console and it was writing<<unexpected end of file>>thnx for the answers

[megazor]

it must have written the number of the wrong string. unexpected end usually means you have missed a '}'.

I use this elevator script with CoD2 (probably works with CoD aswell)
With this script the elevator also goes back up when a player is standing underneath it and gets hit.
Feel free to use it and change the x,y,z and brush/sound names stuff accordingly.

Code: Select all

main(){

   thread elevator_init();
}

elevator_init(){
   
   // elevator 1
   thread elevator_start(getent ("elevatorright_base", "targetname"), 
                     getent ("elevatorright", "targetname"), 
                     getent ("elevatorhit", "targetname"), 
                     getent ("speaker_one", "targetname"),
                     "elevator1_hit_player");
}

elevator_start(elevator, move_trig, hit_trig, speaker, elendon){
   
   move_trig enablelinkto();
   move_trig linkto(elevator);
   
   hit_trig enablelinkto();
   hit_trig linkto(elevator);
   
   
   thread elevator(elevator, move_trig, speaker, elendon);
   thread elevator_hit(elevator, move_trig, hit_trig, speaker, elendon);
}

elevator(elevator, move_trig, speaker, elendon){

   level endon(elendon);

     // if we are already at this position it the elevator won't move
      elevator moveTo((-128, 2128, 10), 1.4); 
      if(elevator.origin != (-128, 2128, 10))
      speaker playsound ("elevator_move");      
      elevator waittill("movedone");
      speaker playsound ("elevator_stop");

   while(1)
   {
      

      move_trig waittill("trigger");
      elevator moveTo((-128, 2128, 298), 1.4);
      speaker playsound ("elevator_move");      
      elevator waittill("movedone");
      speaker playsound ("elevator_stop");      
      wait 2;
      elevator moveTo((-128, 2128, 10), 1.4);   
      speaker playsound ("elevator_move");
      elevator waittill("movedone");
      speaker playsound ("elevator_stop");
   }
}

elevator_hit(elevator, move_trig, hit_trig, speaker, elendon){
   // all elevator parts and triggers
   
   while(1)
   {
      hit_trig waittill("trigger");
      level notify(elendon);
      elevator moveTo((-128, 2128, 298), 1.4);
      speaker playsound ("elevator_move");
      elevator waittill("movedone");
      speaker playsound ("elevator_stop");
wait 2;

      thread elevator(elevator, move_trig, speaker, elendon);
      wait 0.5;
}   
}

I know this is pretty much a dead topic now, but I wanted to point out what I see for anyone searching for this. The original script has more than one main() function, which isn't allowed unless I'm mistaken. I don't have time to test to see if this works, but I'm sure that would cause an error.

If I get time to test I'll be back to post the results.

It was technically two .gsc files, so I think it was OK.

[Drofder2004]

Indeed, as long as the functions are in separate files and you do not use an "include", then that is fine.
