Lasers (SCRIPT)

[BaX]

Hi,

Do you know any map with moving lasers which are killing people? Or maybe u now script than it would be nice if you will share of it, coz i need it to my map

[Earliboy]

Just make an laser texture and put an trigger to it > done

Moving lasers = just move the lasers itself, for the trigger i think its trigger linkTo(laser.origin);

Do this:

Make triggers -> hurt over all the lasers you have. Once made them , select all and give them these values (important: select all of them in one time, not one by one):

key: targetname
value: trig_dmg

key: dmg
value: <damage> (ammount of damage. values over 100 = instant death)

Now select the lasers you made, script -> brushmodel and give them these values

key: targetname
value: lasers

In the script:

		main()
{
thread lasers();
}

lasers()
{
lasers = getent("lasers","targetname");
trig_damage = getent("trig_dmg","targetname");
    trig_damage enablelinkto();
    trig_damage linkto(lasers); // linking the damage trigger to the lasers
    
    while(1)
    {
    lasers moveto((x,y,z),time,accel time,decel time);
    lasers waittill("movedone");
    lasers moveto((x,y,z),time,accel time,decel time);
    lasers waittill("movedone");
    }
}

You can use trigger_multiple too. You will need to script the damage, but you can disable the damage when you want and hide the brushmodel.

Also you need to add this to the script before the loop starts:

		lasers notsolid(); 
	

Edit: Just to be clear, you need to use enableLinkTo() before you can link triggers.

[Ni3ls]

enableLinkTo() is not needed in COD2, only in COD4

[KillerBoB]

enableLinkTo() is not needed in COD2, only in COD4

Some Triggers need, damage trigger for Example

Hey, combined lasers here

		thread lasers(); 
	

		lasers()
{
laser_1 = getent("laser_1","targetname");
laser_hurt_1 = getent("laser_hurt_1","targetname");
laser_2 = getent("laser_2","targetname");
laser_hurt_2 = getent("laser_hurt_2","targetname");
laser_3 = getent("laser_3","targetname");
laser_hurt_3 = getent("laser_hurt_3","targetname");
laser_4 = getent("laser_4","targetname");
laser_hurt_4 = getent("laser_hurt_4","targetname");
laser_5 = getent("laser_5","targetname");
laser_hurt_5 = getent("laser_hurt_5","targetname");
laser_6 = getent("laser_6","targetname");
laser_hurt_6 = getent("laser_hurt_6","targetname");
laser_7 = getent("laser_7","targetname");
laser_hurt_7 = getent("laser_hurt_7","targetname");
laser_hurt_1 linkto(laser_1);
laser_hurt_2 linkto(laser_2);
laser_hurt_3 linkto(laser_3);
laser_hurt_4 linkto(laser_4);
laser_hurt_5 linkto(laser_5);
laser_hurt_6 linkto(laser_6);
laser_hurt_7 linkto(laser_7);

while(1)

{
laser_1 movey(200,0.7);
laser_2 movey(100,0.7);
laser_3 movey(-100,0.7);
laser_4 movex(-150,0.7);
laser_5 movex(150,0.7);
laser_6 rotateyaw(90,0.7);
laser_7 rotateyaw(-90,0.7);
wait 1;
laser_1 movey(-200,0.7);
laser_2 movey(-100,0.7);
laser_3 movey(100,0.7);
laser_4 movex(150,0.7);
laser_5 movex(-150,0.7);
laser_6 rotateyaw(-90,0.7);
laser_7 rotateyaw(90,0.7);
wait 1;
}
}

If there is anything solid about the lasers, your movex and movey will probably fuck up their movements.

To ensure proper movements, always use moveto()

[kung foo man]

Whats wrong with movex()?

[BaX]

I made something like this :

		trap1()
{
    kosa = getent("kosa_1", "targetname");
    kosa_kill = getent("kosa_2", "targetname");
    kosa_kill enablelinkto();
    kosa_kill linkto(kosa);
    {
        kosa movex(82,5,2);
        wait (0.5);
        kosa movex(-82,5,2);
        wait (0.5);
    }
} 
	

And it gives me that error:
