Ok, well i made an elevator for my map and it has two triggers for it to work, its pretty simple, but i keep getting an error saying array is not an object, i know why, because im using getentarray, but if i change getentarray to getent it will give me another error saying that i used getent with multiple entities. What can i use then? Here is my script (dont laugh): Code: elevator1() { elevatormodel = getent ("elevatorcar", "targetname"); elevatordoorminusy = getent ("doorminusy", "targetname"); elevatordoorplusy = getent ("doorplusy", "targetname"); elevatorlights = getent ("elevatorlight", "targetname"); elevatortrigger = getent ("elevatorswitch", "targetname"); while (1) { elevatortrigger waittill ("trigger"); wait 3; elevatordoorminusy movey (-30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (30, 1.5); wait 6.5; elevatordoorminusy movey (30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (-30, 1.5); wait 3.5; elevatormodel movez (3680, 12); elevatordoorminusy movez (3680, 12); elevatordoorplusy movez (3680, 12); elevatorlights movez (3680, 12); wait 14; elevatordoorminusy movey (-30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (30, 1.5); wait 6.5; elevatordoorminusy movey (30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (-30, 1.5); wait 3.5; elevatormodel movez (-3680, 5); elevatordoorminusy movez (-3680, 5); elevatordoorplusy movez (-3680, 5); elevatorlights movez (-3680, 5); wait 7; } } Help please!

Okay, need more information How many elevators do you have? That would be the only reason you should have multiple entities under the same name. If you have more than one entity for the same name and it's all one elevator, then I'll help with that, if it's something else, we need to determine that. Looking at this example, you definitely do not want to be using getentarray (unless you have multiple elevators) You said you have more than one switch? That's the part where you need to use getentarray. But it's not a magic button, if you use an array, you need to rewrite a bit of the code. What line are you getting an error on? Is this example of code what you're talking about, because there's no getentarray in the entire thing. :) edited on Mar. 25, 2008 07:38 pm by SpeedHighway

yeah i copy pasted the code i was trying to work with, here is where i have getentarray Code: elevator1() { elevatormodel = getent ("elevatorcar", "targetname"); elevatordoorminusy = getent ("doorminusy", "targetname"); elevatordoorplusy = getent ("doorplusy", "targetname"); elevatorlights = getent ("elevatorlight", "targetname"); elevatortrigger = getentarray ("elevatorswitch", "targetname"); while (1) { elevatortrigger waittill ("trigger"); wait 3; elevatordoorminusy movey (-30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (30, 1.5); wait 6.5; elevatordoorminusy movey (30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (-30, 1.5); wait 3.5; elevatormodel movez (3680, 12); elevatordoorminusy movez (3680, 12); elevatordoorplusy movez (3680, 12); elevatorlights movez (3680, 12); wait 14; elevatordoorminusy movey (-30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (30, 1.5); wait 6.5; elevatordoorminusy movey (30, 1.5); elevatordoorplusy movey (-30, 1.5); wait 3.5; elevatormodel movez (-3680, 5); elevatordoorminusy movez (-3680, 5); elevatordoorplusy movez (-3680, 5); elevatorlights movez (-3680, 5); wait 7; } } i get the error at: elevatortrigger = getentarray ("elevatorswitch", "targetname"); I only have one elevator, two triggers. edited on Mar. 25, 2008 10:09 pm by somedude

Okay, if you have more than one trigger, you're going to have to put everything in a function. The problem with this is that it becomes a pain to make sure both triggers can't be hit at the same time. (Why do you have 2 triggers when you have the elevator move, wait, then move?) I can jot down something to help if that's what you need, but first I should know if you seriously even want 2 triggers. If you do, then the logic of your script will need an overhaul =D. Let me know what I can do to help. :)
