Zip Line?

[Soviet]

would it be possible to make a zip line where if you walk up and press use you slide on a rope down to some other place?

[Luke]

Yes, i've got one in one of the maps i'm working on. So to answer your question, yes it is possible.

And also fairly easy.

If Luke has it in his map, I will leave it up to luke to either give away his code or wait until the release of his map...

The way i did it is pretty easy, and the code is already on the forum, just not for this purpose. This is the code i used, which is basically just using moveto and linkto:

Code: Select all

zipwire()
{
zipwire = getent ("zipwire","targetname"); //zipwire is the handle, this will be moving along the wire
ziptrig = getent ("ziptrig","targetname");  
org_start = (1304,2673,1186);
while (1)
{
ziptrig waittill ("trigger",user);
user.origin = zipwire.origin - (0,0,120);
user linkto(zipwire);
zipwire moveto((1304, 1878, 1567), 6, 4, 2);
zipwire waittill ("movedone");
wait 0.5;
user unlink();
zipwire moveto((org_start), 6, 4, 2);
zipwire waittill ("movedone");
wait 1;
}
}

Simple but works fairly well, i'm sure you can change the values for it to work in your map soviet, but if you need help just ask. Drofder might have a better method though

Thats the basic single zipwire and if you only want to use one zipwire, this is the simplest method.
