I don't quite understand what you want to do. Press a button that allows you to use a teleporter, that sounds easy enough, make the button turn on the teleporter trigger?. If you don't make it back in a certain amount of time, you have to do it again. Back where? how and why do you have to get back?

Maybe you could add a wait time after you're teleported and it turns on a trigger multiple after that time. so if you were touching it after that time you could make it set the users origin.

ok, i did explain it kind of bad last time sry, ok if this helps i meant, theres a teleporter, and in order to be able to use the teleporter u have to press a certain button. Once u press the button u can then use the teleporter. thx if this helped

ok, make a two triggers one will activate(activate_trig) the other trigger(teleporter_trig).
Place them where you want and add this to your script. Note: Untested.

Code: Select all

teleporter_timer()
{
activate_trig = getent("activate_trig","targetname");
teleport_trig = getent("teleport_trig","targetname");
teleport_trig thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();

while(1)
   {
   activate_trig waittill ("trigger");
      teleport_trig thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
      wait 10;
      teleport_trig thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
      }
}

teleporter()
{
   while(1)
   {
      players = getentarray("player", "classname");

      for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
      {
         finishtrig = getent ("teleport_trig","targetname");
         finishtrig waittill ("trigger",user);

      user setOrigin( (452, 1072,168) );

      }
   wait .5;
   }
}

run youre game in developer 1 to give us the extact error. Typ in console /developer 1 and then load youre map. than you will see a bigger explanation about the error

Luke · Post by **Luke** » December 11th, 2006, 3:12 pm

Yeah, from having a quick look it looks like the teleporter thread isn't being threaded, and the main thread wasn't closed with a }.
Try

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread teleporter_timer();
thread teleporter();
}

ok, wen i use the moving platform script from nightmares tut it works but when i try to put more directions in for platform to do, it does it on the rong side it does them backyards. any idea? the scripts are

Code: Select all

main() 
{ 
thread platform1(); 
} 

platform1() 
{ 
platform = getent ("platform1","targetname"); 
while(1) 
{ 
platform moveY (88,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (188,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveY (200,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (195,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);  
platform moveZ (-195,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveY (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-200,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (-188,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-88,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);        
platform waittill ("movedone"); 
} 
}

and

Code: Select all

main() 
{ 
thread platform2(); 
} 

platform2() 
{ 
platform = getent ("platform2","targetname"); 
trigger = getent ("trig_platform","targetname"); 
while(1) 
{ 
platform moveY (88,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (188,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveY (200,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (195,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);  
platform moveZ (-195,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveY (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-200,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveZ (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveX (-266,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5); 
platform moveZ (-188,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);
platform moveY (-88,1,0.3,0.3); 
wait(5);        
platform waittill ("movedone"); 
} 
}

, so they do work but it does it in reverse

then what you want to do is switch the negatives in front of the first numbers
also add a

Code: Select all

platform waittill ("movedone");

after every movement to ensure that your platforms are glitch free
