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?

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:
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

awesome, ty luke

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;
}
}

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