how can i get the x,y, or z values alone? i know that you can get an entities origin.. but how to get the values out of that?

so like this?

origin = brush1 getOrigin();
x=origin[0];?

ah thankyou so much!

one more thing, do you know how to turn triggers on and off???

Wow, that would have helped me back in the day ha.

To `turn a trigger off` just add in some code (an argument of some sort) that stops it getting back to "trigger waittill ...".

I.e normally the "trigger waitill ..." line is embedded in a while(1) loop, meaning the trigger is always on. If you take it out of this loop, once activated the trigger will be finished with.

Or if you know you want to permanently turn off the trigger, you can do trigger delete() to delete the trigger entity.

ah ye, that sounds simple enough, boolean flags

^^

you told me how to take apart origins... but how to make them? look at this;doesnt compile obv


r1(){
trigger = getent("killgame","targetname");
k1 = getent("kr1","targetname");
k2 = getent("kr2","targetname");
k3 = getent("kr3","targetname");
while(1){
trigger waittill("trigger", user);
o = user getOrigin();
x=o[0];
y=o[1];
z=o[2];

k1 moveTo(user getOrigin(), 1, .9, .1);
rand = RandomIntRange( -30, 31 );
rand2 = RandomIntRange( -30, 31 );
ot = [x+=rand, y+=rand2, z];
k2 moveTo(ot, 1, .9, .1);
rand = RandomIntRange( -30, 31 );
rand2 = RandomIntRange( -30, 31 );
//k3 moveTo((x+=rand,y+=rand2,z), 1, .9, .1);
wait 1;
}
}

I don't think you can construct it like this. The way you seperated the x,y,z values was treating the getorigin() value as an array of the three values, so I guess you would have to recompile it like that.

Ie.
Still don't know if this would work though, just my theory.

doesnt work, i think bbecause its not considered an origino, only an array

lol i had += inside a statement x) it works now, thanks for the help

Great, that surprised me that it even worked Glad you got it sorted.

This only works if your trigger is not linked to anything. If it is, triggerOff() and triggerOn() don't work. Those two functions are helpers, in reality the trigger is simply moved -10000 units on the Z axis. So use them only when not using linkTo(ent) on your trigger as well.
