Escalators cod2 radiant

[p0wner52]

k well this is what i got so far for an escalator
http://social.xfire.com/videos/63458b
heres a vid but now i wanna know how do i keep it rotating all map long without needing to use a trigger or so
and if i need a new script and redo some stuff in radiant could any one tell or explain me i got no clue how to make this escalators work perfectly

Heres the image of the escalators i want to work851

heres the script


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

Patanosta = getent("patanosta","targetname");//the objekt with the targetname “patanosta” has the name “Patanosta”
Patanosta thread Patanosta_Move();//the script contains the thread Patanosta_Move

}

Patanosta_Move()//starts the thread Patanosta_Move
{
Targ1 = getent(self.target,"targetname");
Targ2 = getent(Targ1.target,"targetname");
Targ3 = getent(Targ2.target,"targetname");
Targ4 = getent(Targ3.target,"targetname");
Targ5 = getent(Targ4.target,"targetname");
Targ6 = getent(Targ5.target,"targetname");
Targ7 = getent(Targ6.target,"targetname");
Targ8 = getent(Targ7.target,"targetname");
Targ9 = getent(Targ8.target,"targetname");
Targ10 = getent(Targ9.target,"targetname");
Targ11 = getent(Targ10.target,"targetname");
Targ12 = getent(Targ11.target,"targetname");
Targ13 = getent(Targ12.target,"targetname");
Targ13 = getent(Targ12.target,"targetname");

while (1)
{
self moveto (targ1.origin,2);

Targ1 moveto (targ2.origin,2);//example explanationàTarg2 is moving on the psition of targ2 in 20 seconds
Targ2 moveto (targ3.origin,2);
Targ3 moveto (targ4.origin,2);
Targ4 moveto (targ5.origin,2);
Targ5 moveto (targ6.origin,2);
Targ6 moveto (targ7.origin,2);
Targ7 moveto (targ8.origin,2);
Targ8 moveto (targ9.origin,2);
Targ9 moveto (targ10.origin,2);
Targ10 moveto (targ11.origin,2);
Targ11 moveto (targ12.origin,2);
Targ12 moveto (targ12.origin,2);
Targ13 moveto (targ13.origin,2);
Targ13 waittill ("movedone");
}
}

Assuming it wont cause a script stack overflow, you get "self" (the original targetname) to thread the move function again and again:


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

Patanosta = getent("patanosta","targetname");//the objekt with the targetname “patanosta” has the name “Patanosta”
Patanosta thread Patanosta_Move();//the script contains the thread Patanosta_Move

i tried the script you posted but it does exactly the same as it did before

[Mitch]

i tried the script you posted but it does exactly the same as it did before

What if you put all your targets in an array and save each target's current position. Then you move the target to the next position useing the array's index.

Something like this


steps = [];
maxsteps = 14;
time = 2;
steps[steps.size] = getent(self.target,"targetname");
steps[steps.size-1].position = 0;
for(i=0;i<maxsteps-1;i++)
{
steps[steps.size] = getent(steps[i].target,"targetname");
steps[steps.size-1].position = i+1;
}

while(1)
{
for(i=0;i<steps.size;i++)
{
nextposition = steps[i].position-1;
if(nextposition < 0) // no next step, back to top
nextposition = steps.size-1;

steps[i].position = nextposition;
steps[i] moveto(steps[nextposition].origin, time);
}

steps[maxsteps-1] waittill("movedone");
}

[IzNoGoD]

That script is buggable as only one waittill movedone is used, which might cause some of the non-last steps to become bugged

didnt even know how to make this at all i really dont understand this kind of script but
ive tried moveto already for like 5hours i thought i made it perfectly but it didnt work out after all

so does anyone still have ideas xD?


wish i knew how this guy made his lol

holy sht xD all of ya and megazor r dam awesome xD
he has a sick script hehe
but one thing:D
is it possible to get a litle bit explaining cuz i dont think i can make it in radiant without knowing how to even start or make it
i really hope its possible would be really nice:D

or the .map file itself with the materials/images if he or you guys doesnt mind so i can make the steps etc exact the same
just needa get my own textures:D

and dam his glass is so clear looks 1000x nicer then mine

[p0wner52]

i really have no clue how to make it without explaining i tried but didnt work out
hope u guys would atleast be able to get me some explaining xD if possible with screens:D

[p0wner52]

aww no one knows how to explain?:P

[p0wner52]

after alot of hours working/testing on old script i made it finally able to work perfectly even making a new map a underground traintstattion got a beginning alrdy with escalators
heres a vid^^

Well done! Now you know how it feels when you solve a difficult problem all by yourself. It's that feeling which makes me mod. There is nothing quite like it!

ye i always love it when my scripts work perfectly :D
i like to map and script^^
spend like 50hours etc trying alot of different ways to make it work and finally got it^^

if interested heres the script:D

But anyway still thanks to all of you for helping me
i appreciate it^^

And if you guys r interested ill post a vid of the end result of the map once its done:)
