Thread: Help right here (lift scripting)

Why dont you wanna use the standard way ??
is there a reason you dont? Any difference you hope to achieve ?

The above code you wrote wont do anything much , it will move the elevator up 1 and thats it

No
as I know the origin will grow up till it reaches 10 ( at least that's what while do ) then it'll move down
and that's the loop
and I don't know why but the standard way didn't work?

The if statements will only be correct the first time you run it
ie self.origin = 0 0 0
then it will add it up by 1 ,
but when it does the loop again , self.origin is now 0 0 1 , so it wont work.
You need to use other expressions , like < , > , >= <= etc
Also ( 0 0 0 ) isnt a good coord lol .

I made a simple elevator script the other day for someone if you want it , i made it so it can go all different ways instead of just up and down lol

call it like this

Code:

/// Elevator         // Start point    // Destination     // Angle
thread elevator ( -20 20 48 )   ( -20 20 510 )   90

And the below thread

Code:

elevator local.start local.destination local.angle:

local.lift1 = spawn script_model
local.lift1 model "static/nazi_crate.tik"
local.lift1 targetname elevator
local.lift1.origin = local.start 
local.lift1.angle = local.angle
local.lift1 time 3
while (1)
{

wait 5
local.lift1 speed 150
local.lift1 moveTo local.destination
local.lift1 loopsound elevator_run 
local.lift1 waitmove
local.lift1 stoploopsound
wait 5
local.lift1 moveTo local.start
local.lift1 loopsound elevator_run 
local.lift1 waitmove
local.lift1 stoploopsound

}

end

It uses the moveTo command as opposed to the moveUp or moveDown , thus requiring a 2nd destination coord instead of just a fixed height at which to travel to and back.

Woohoo !
I wrote something like that but error still unknown
maybe because I wrote origins after move to
ammmm but i wanna figure out how to make if statement work , I'll try using mathematical chars .
& BTW , can I use move to in if statement too ?

If you suspect an error has occurred, you should turn developer mode and logging on by adding the following to your unnamedsoldier.cfg file:

Code:

seta logfile "3"
seta developer "1"

Then post the logs here, so we can have a look.

Not sure what you mean by that. Chars no less? You should figure out how to make the if statements work because they are the cornerstone of programming.

You do anything you want in an if{} block. Any block of code enclosed with curly brackets represents an inner scope to the current one.
Each while/if/switch/for scope can be nested infinitely (well, theoretically, at least). In case of the if statement, the scope will only be
entered if the condition evaluates to true. You can then extend the condition with multiple else if statements and catch all remaining
conditions with a final else statement like so:

Code:

// current scope
if (!something) {
   // scope A
   if (!something_related) {
       // scope E
   }
}
else if (!something_else) {
 // scope B
}
else if (some_other_thing) {
  // scope C
}
else {
 // scope D
}
// At this point at most 2 conditional scopes have been executed; A, B, C, D or A and E.
