Xmodel Moving

Hello Guys, i need help!
I want to move a xmodel, but the problem is i can't create an entry (script brushmodel) with a xmodel.
Do you maybe know how can i make move the xmodel?

Try doing: RightClick to bring up the menu--->script--->model and go from there.

Thank you. If i press n: targetname raygun and i add in script: raygun movez(8,1); it will move with RightClick to bring up the menu--->script--->model?

If you want to move a script_brushmodel and a xmodel, you need to link the xmodel to the brushmodel per script, because they are two separate entities.

ok, you know maybe the script?

It should be only:

Code:

---

theModel = getEnt("theModel", "targetname");
theBrush = getEnt("theBrush", "targetname");

theModel linkTo(theBrush);

---

sry kung

i have this not understand
theModel = getEnt("theModel", "targetname");
theBrush = getEnt("theBrush", "targetname");

theModel linkTo(theBrush);

You have a scriptmodel with a name and a xmodel with a name. Replace TheModel with xmodel name and theBrush with scriptmodel name. Then this script links the scriptmodel to the xmodel and you can move the scriptmodel with a script.

Not need to write "enablelinkto();" ?

Thats COD4 only i thought

this is how I move my triggers, i implemented this in my _utility.gsc, you can do it for rotating etc. as well

PHP Code:

---

moveTriggerTo( point , time , acceleration*_time , deceleration_time )
{
    if( !isDefined( self ) )
        return;

    if( !isDefined( self.linkObject ) )
        self.linkObject = spawn( "script_origin" , self.origin );

    if( !isDefined( self.enableLinkTo ) )
    {
        self enableLinkTo();
        self.enableLinkTo = true;
    }

    self linkTo( self.linkObject );

    self moveTo( point , time , acceleration*_time , deceleration_time );
}

trigger enableLinkTo(); is only required by triggers, you don't need to call it on other entities
