I Have gotten a lot of e-mails about this tutorial i made. I never relized that people were having door problems in cod4. Tell you the truth when I was making maps in cod2, I read the cod2 tutorial here on how to make a door and it stuck with me. When I started making maps for cod4 I just did it the same way as it is done in cod2. Even the script is the same ones i used for cod2. If you think that this tutorial would be helpful over here Be my guest and you can do with it as you wish. As far as the pictures go they are linked to my site. I dont mind helping anyone out over here because i use modonline tutorals as much as the next person, besides if we didnt work together map making would be for a select few. Here is my tutorial that i posted on my site. ITOE Swatter edited on Mar. 9, 2008 08:21 am by ITOE_Swatter

Okay Here is my first attempt at a full blown tutorial on how to make a door. I will assume that you have a wall built and you have cut out and have fitted your doors in. In cod4 the doors are a bit of a pain to get to open. There are a lot of scripts out there and I will show you which ones worked for me. After you make your brushes cut them and texture them. This can also be used for hidden doors. 1. add the origin brush to the side you want the door to swing. Think of it as a hinge. 2. Next select both the door and the origin and right click on the 2d and select script then brushmodel. 3. Hit the n key to bring up the entity. Make sure the script_brushmodel is highlighted and you have to type targetname in the key field and in the value field give it a name like door1. Hit enter.You will notice it will change to light blue lines on the 2d view after you unselect them. 4. The next step you have to do is use the trigger brush. I put this trigger brush at the door. The trigger can be anywhere in the map. Make sure you extend the trigger brush thru the door so you can open it on the other side. 5. In the 2d view right click select trigger use_touch. Hit n and bring up the entity and type targetname in the key field and in the value field give it a name like door_trigger1. If you want to have a hint for your door add Key: Hintstring Value: Press [Use] to open door in the entity box. Thanks to colcorpse for pointing this out. 6. Save your map and that is all you have to do. Remember do not use any spaces use the underline key for spaces or don’t use anything for a space it’s up to you. Remember every trigger or brushmodel has to have a name. Now we have to make a script to get a door to work. Open that gsc file that you made. I will use my gsc file I created. 1. Your gsc file should look like this. It is in the raw maps mp folder of cod4 if you don’t remember. main() { //maps\mp\mp_backlot_fx::main(); //maps\createart\mp_backlot_art::main(); maps\mp\_load::main(); //maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_backlot"); setExpFog(500, 2200, 0.81, 0.75, 0.63, 0); //VisionSetNaked( "mp_backlot" ); ambientPlay("ambient_backlot_ext"); game["allies"] = "marines"; game["axis"] = "opfor"; game["attackers"] = "axis"; game["defenders"] = "allies"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert"; setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" ); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1"); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1"); setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3"); setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800"); 2. Now for the scripting. } door1_rotate() { door1 = getent("door1", "targetname"); trig = getent("door_trigger1", "targetname"); while (1) { trig waittill("trigger"); door1 rotateyaw(90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); wait (3); door1 rotateyaw(-90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7); door1 waittill("rotatedone"); } } 3. Here is the script put in the final product. Remember // tells the computer to ignore anything after. main() { //maps\mp\mp_backlot_fx::main(); //maps\createart\mp_backlot_art::main(); maps\mp\_load::main(); thread door1_rotate(); //definition --> script contains the function scripted_door. You have to add one for every door. //maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_backlot"); setExpFog(500, 2200, 0.81, 0.75, 0.63, 0); //VisionSetNaked( "mp_backlot" ); ambientPlay("ambient_backlot_ext"); game["allies"] = "marines"; game["axis"] = "opfor"; game["attackers"] = "axis"; game["defenders"] = "allies"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert"; setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" ); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1"); setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1"); setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3"); setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800"); } door1_rotate() //definition -->the function scripted_door starts { door1 = getent("door1", "targetname"); //definition --> the object (the door) with the targetname door that has the name door trig = getent("door_trigger1", "targetname"); //definition --> the object (the trigger) with the targetname door_trigger1 that has the name trig while (1) //definition --> the function should would grind run in one that it is again again usable after every process { trig waittill("trigger"); //definition --> after the activity of the triggers //door playsound ("keys_jingle"); //definition --> play the sound "keys_jingle". I do not use this because of the .iwd file is not set up //wait (2); //definition --> wait 2 seconds. I don’t want to wait till the door opens so I don’t use this either. Maybe after I will use it if I put sound of keys jingleing. door1 rotateyaw(90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7); //definition --> trick the door around 90 degrees, in 1.5 seconds, with an acceleration of 0.7 seconds and a deceleration of 0.7 seconds door1 waittill("rotatedone"); //door playsound ("openloop"); //definition --> play the sound "openloop" no sound again so I do not use this //door waittill ("rotatedone"); //definition --> wait on the end of the rotation wait (3); //definition --> wait 3 seconds. how long before the door closes. //door playsound ("door_close"); //definition --> play the sound "door_close" again no sound files. door1 rotateyaw(-90, 1.5, 0.7, 0.7); //definition --> trick the door around -90 degrees, in 1.5 seconds, with an acceleration of 0.7 seconds and a deceleration of 0.7 seconds door1 waittill("rotatedone"); //definition --> end of my script } } Whew we got thru all of that mumbo jumbo! Here are some more scripts for different style doors. 1. Draglift Door main() { thread diaglift_slider (); } diaglift_slider() { diaglift=getent("diaglift","targetname"); wait (5); while(1) { //trig waittill ("trigger"); diaglift moveto ((104,-125,124),6,2,2); diaglift waittill ("movedone"); wait (5); //trig waittill ("trigger"); diaglift moveto ((-35,-125,204),6,2,2); diaglift waittill ("movedone"); wait (5); } } 2. Draw bridge main() { thread drawbridge_open (); } drawbridge_open() { drawbridge=getent("drawbridge","targetname"); trig=getent("lower_bridge","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); drawbridge rotateto( (-90,0,0),6); drawbridge waittill ("rotatedone"); wait (3); trig waittill ("trigger"); drawbridge rotateto( (0,0,0),6); drawbridge waittill ("rotatedone"); } } 3. Lift Pad main() { thread liftpad_slider (); } liftpad_slider() { liftpad=getent("liftpad","targetname"); trig=getent("lift_trigger","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); //wait (4); liftpad movez (106,5,0,0.6); liftpad waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); //trig waittill ("trigger"); liftpad movez(-106,4,0,0.6); liftpad waittill ("movedone"); } } 4. Roller Door main() { thread door_slider (); } door_slider() { door=getent("door","targetname"); trig=getent("openthedoor","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); //wait (4); door movez (94,5,0,0.6); door waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); //trig waittill ("trigger"); door movez(-94,4,0,0.6); door waittill ("movedone"); } } 5. Slide Door main() { thread slidedoor_slider (); } slidedoor_slider() { slidedoor=getent("slidedoor","targetname"); trig=getent("slideopen","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); //wait (4); slidedoor movey (-64,2,0.5,0.5); slidedoor waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); //trig waittill ("trigger"); slidedoor movey(64,2,0.5,0.5); slidedoor waittill ("movedone"); } } 6. Train door main() { thread train_slider (); } train_slider() { train=getent("train","targetname"); trig=getent("start_train","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); //wait (4); train movex (-464,8,0.3,0.3); train waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); //trig waittill ("trigger"); train movex(464,8,0.3,0.3); train waittill ("movedone"); } } 7. Train door2 main() { thread traindoor_traindoor (); } traindoor_traindoor() { door=getent("traindoor","targetname"); wait (20); trig=getent("traindoor_trigger","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); door movey (2,1,0.5,0.5); door waittill ("movedone"); wait (1); door movex (-50,4,1,1); door waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); door movex (50,4,1,1); door waittill ("movedone"); wait (1); door movey (-2,1,0.5,0.5); door waittill ("movedone"); } } 8. Trap Door main() { thread trapdoor_droptrapdoor (); } trapdoor_droptrapdoor() { trapdoor=getent("trapdoor","targetname"); trig=getent("droptrapdoor","targetname"); while(1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); trapdoor rotateto( (0,0,-90),0.3); trapdoor waittill ("rotatedone"); wait (3); trapdoor rotateto( (0,0,0),1.7); trapdoor waittill ("rotatedone"); } } If you need any help just ask. Oh if you just want to tweek the setting just edit the gsc file and rebuild the fast file and retest it. edited on Mar. 9, 2008 08:27 am by ITOE_Swatter

I have followed this tut to the letter, and it does work, but my door is invisible. Any thoughts anyone ? (I am using Vista, which runs the program just fine btw)
