thread double_doors4();
}

thread double_doors()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger","targetname");
leftdoor1 = getent("leftdoor1","targetname");
rightdoor1 = getent("rightdoor1","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");

thread double_doors3();
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger3","targetname");
leftdoor3 = getent("leftdoor3","targetname");
rightdoor3 = getent("rightdoor3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

thread double_doors4();
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger3","targetname");
leftdoor3 = getent("leftdoor3","targetname");
rightdoor3 = getent("rightdoor3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);

}
}

and...

Code:

main()
{
thread cage();
}

thread cage()
{
trig = getent("cage_trigger","targetname");
cageleft1 = getent("cageleft1","targetname");
cageright1 = getent("cageright1","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
cageleft1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
cageright1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

cageleft1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);

Hi -SpuD-

From what I can tell, you have the same code except for a different door.

Code:

thread double_doors4();
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger3","targetname");
leftdoor3 = getent("leftdoor3","targetname");
rightdoor3 = getent("rightdoor3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

That's the code from double_doors4(); and you're calling door3 instead of door4 lol. Instead of leftdoor3 make it leftdoor4 and so on and so forth... update the getent's too.

Unless you're planning to move double_door3() again, I suggest changing it and see if it works.

And finally, on your second script you have
Code:

main()
{
thread cage();
}

thread cage()
{
trig = getent("cage_trigger","targetname");
cageleft1 = getent("cageleft1","targetname");
cageright1 = getent("cageright1","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
cageleft1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
cageright1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

cageleft1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
cageright1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

Remove the SECOND thread cage() and replace it with just cage(). That may be why it doesn't work.

Hope this helps!

Man in my rush to give u an answer to your double door problem the other day, I wrote a mistake in it. As djheps says remove the thread from the functions that are written outside of main().

Ok thanks guys :D

I have taken out what i think you mean

Code:

main()
{
thread double_doors();
thread double_doors2();
thread double_doors3();
thread double_doors4();
}

double_doors()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger","targetname");
leftdoor1 = getent("leftdoor1","targetname");
rightdoor1 = getent("rightdoor1","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}


double_doors2()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger2","targetname");
leftdoor2 = getent("leftdoor2","targetname");
rightdoor2 = getent("rightdoor2","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor2 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor2 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor2 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor2 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

double_doors3();
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger3","targetname");
leftdoor3 = getent("leftdoor3","targetname");
rightdoor3 = getent("rightdoor3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

double_doors4();
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger4","targetname");
leftdoor4 = getent("leftdoor4","targetname");
rightdoor4 = getent("rightdoor4","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor4 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor4 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor4 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor4 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

just about to try :D

Make sure that in your threads you DON'T have a ";" semicolon. I just noticed that some of your threads have double_doors4(); <--- a semi colon. Don't use a semi colon, just leave it blank like double_doors4() This applies to all of your scripting. edited on Oct. 2, 2007 12:07 pm by djheps

Sorry for Double-Post but if it might be easier for you, here's the correct code:

Code:

main()
{
thread double_doors();
thread double_doors2();
thread double_doors3();
thread double_doors4();
}

double_doors()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger","targetname");
leftdoor1 = getent("leftdoor1","targetname");
rightdoor1 = getent("rightdoor1","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor1 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor1 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}


double_doors2()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger2","targetname");
leftdoor2 = getent("leftdoor2","targetname");
rightdoor2 = getent("rightdoor2","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor2 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor2 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor2 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor2 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

double_doors3()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger3","targetname");
leftdoor3 = getent("leftdoor3","targetname");
rightdoor3 = getent("rightdoor3","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor3 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor3 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

double_doors4()
{
trig = getent("double_door_trigger4","targetname");
leftdoor4 = getent("leftdoor4","targetname");
rightdoor4 = getent("rightdoor4","targetname");
while(1)
{
trig waittill("trigger");
leftdoor4 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
rightdoor4 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
wait(2);

leftdoor4 rotateto((0,0,-90),1);
rightdoor4 rotateto((0,0,90),1);
}
}

Wiked Thankyou everyone thats helped me It works now! Fianlly no more lol Amazing how a semicolon can screw everything up LOL One last question about the rotation of the doors at the moment they start sideways and move sideways :D would i need to just fiddle around with the angles to get it right? or is there a set angle it only works at 90 or something?? Thanks again everyone edited on Oct. 2, 2007 12:26 pm by spudy12 edited on Oct. 2, 2007 12:27 pm by spudy12

fiddle with the angles and also the rotate command : hers a script tutorial for the other rotate and move functions. http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-121.html i think you can also use the rotateyaw function instead of rotateto

not sure if its implemented in COD 2 or not, but with COD 4 you can also use rotateyaw and rotatepitch. also be sure you have an origin in your door so it knows where to start the rotation.
