Lasers (SCRIPT)

[BaX]

I made something like this :

[sharp]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);
}
}[/sharp]

And it gives me that error:

@BaX

		main()
{

thread OnPlayerConnect();

} 
	

		OnPlayerConnect()
{

for(;;)
{

level waittill("connecting", user);
user thread trap1();

}
} 
	

		trap1()
{
kosa = getent("kosa_1", "targetname");
kosa_kill = getent("kosa_2", "targetname");
kosa_kill enablelinkto(); //i think it's useless
kosa_kill linkto(kosa);
while(1)
{
kosa movex(82,5,2);
wait 0.5;
kosa movex(-82,5,2);
wait 0.5;
}
}

It means that i need to add all traps which have linkto into this line ?

When you get an error like that - calling an entity for which there is more than 1 - it is telling you that you need to use getEntArray() (plural) and not getEnt() (singlular).

When you use getEntArray() you must use a for() loop to find each member of the entity set. So, this is what you want:

		trap1()
{
    kosa = getentArray("kosa_1", "targetname");
    kosa_kill = getentArray("kosa_2", "targetname");
    
    for( i=0; i < kosa.size; i++ )
    {
        for( j=0; j < kosa_kill.size; j++ )
        {
            kosa_kill[j] enablelinkto();
            kosa_kill[j] linkto( kosa[i] );

            kosa[i] movex(82,5,2);
            wait( 0.5 );
            kosa[i] movex(-82,5,2);
            wait( 0.5 );
        }
    }
}

@BaX

		main()
{

thread OnPlayerConnect();

} 
	

		OnPlayerConnect()
{

for(;;)
{

level waittill("connecting", user);
user thread trap1();

}
} 
	

		trap1()
{
kosa = getent("kosa_1", "targetname");
kosa_kill = getent("kosa_2", "targetname");
kosa_kill enablelinkto(); //i think it's useless
kosa_kill linkto(kosa);
while(1)
{
kosa movex(82,5,2);
wait 0.5;
kosa movex(-82,5,2);
wait 0.5;
}
} 
	

That code completely ignores the error stated in his first post, as it is still using getEnt() and not getEntArray().

@Tally

Your code would make the lasers wait for one another to finish their "run"

It's not "my code". I was merely demonstrating how to use for() loops to find each member of a class. I did not test the code for efficiency or otherwise. You really do need to stop thinking everything is some sort of contest, where you are always the hero.

Ok thanks a lot for help it worked

But i have one more problem do you know why this trap work only once?

		trap5()
{
    reka = getent("reka_1", "targetname");
    trig = getent("t3","targetname");
    reka_kill = getent("reka_kill", "targetname");
    reka_kill enablelinkto();
    reka_kill linkto(reka);
    {
        trig waittill ("trigger");

        reka movex(208,0.7);
        reka waittill ("movedone");
        wait (0.5);
        reka movex(-208,0.7);
        reka waittill ("movedone");
        wait (6);
    }
} 
	

[Jeplaa]

		reka movex(208,0.7);
reka waittill ("movedone");
wait (0.5);
reka movex(-208,0.7);
reka waittill ("movedone");
wait (6); 
	

should be in a loop or thread it as loop... I'm not sure which method is better and correct.

But can you made example script for me?
