If I put a lift in the game and I want to be able to call it up or down, how is that done? Bare in mind that I am one of thoes that need details. General statements are lost on me. Im a PC tech and a Wed Designer, this is my first whack at games.

Thanks

I'm having problems with the lift switches also. My idea was to have the lift only move if the switch was pressed, although, no matter what script I used, it would go anyway. I had the same problem with calling the lift.

It's stupid 'cause if you go up with lift and then die you can't go up with same lift again

Nigezu: Indeed, although you could set a checkpoint on the area that the lift stops, so that you automatically respawn there.

Uhh...
Wrong scripts.

But FPSC's script is bad too

this is better

:activated=1:state=10,activate=3
:activated=2:state=20,activate=3
:activated=3:associateplayer
:state=10:moveup=1
:state=20:moveup=-1
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:state=11
:state=20,plrdistwithin=60:state=21
:state=11:moveup=-1
:state=21:moveup=1
:state=11,raycastup=20 100:state=0,activate=0
:state=21,raycastup=20 0:state=0,activate=0

of course 1 switch needs to be edited to activate 2 instead of 1
it should work. Mabey... but it is a much better concept.

Theres a lot of questions on this lately.

I had a switch call a lift working a while back when I was testing the same in an MP level - though I dropped MP altogether for the time being. So you can at least call a switch I know that much.

I had one problem with it at the time and that was - called the lift OK - but after player moved away the lift returned whence it came - so whats needed is a lift - Top and Bottom of the lift and perhaps also a call switch on every floor if you say have a 15 storey building. That could be extended so that you could stop at any level or choose to go to any level or floor of the building.

Except for the fact that any such lift switching of any kind is not easy in FPSC.

If its not solved I would go back and have a look at lift switches again when I need them - as it stands I have too many other critical issues to look at and may never get back to anything else until I solve those ones or not in which case I wont be developing further with FPSC at all.

Merranvos - lead will get you some way there - though I have not tried the script herein.




Persistance pays off

Yeah, it looks like it would to me too... But I am too tired to test...

The concept is to have 2 switches, and 1 activates the down, and the other activates going up. So, if you're at bottom, activate 2, above activate 1.

Simple concept.

Although the simplicity is bound to cause small problems. Or IOW, I probally forgot something.

Merranvo,

You helped me before when I was doing lift switches. It was two switches I had - one top and one bootom. If I recall it did work correctly but I dropped working on it as I wanted auto move or call without switches.

Reason - well switches have to go outside lifts but - what happens if you want a switches inside lifts? Quite right so I wanted to use auto functions instead - without switches.

Anyway as I said I dropped MP altogether so stopped working on the lift switches.

Well, you could model switches but really turn the lift into a switch.

I suppose I could do a half-life type hud for that (the tram things).

Merranvo,

I tried your script.

Quote: ":activated=1:state=10,activate=3
:activated=2:state=20,activate=3
:activated=3:associateplayer
:state=10:moveup=1
:state=20:moveup=-1
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:state=11
:state=20,plrdistwithin=60:state=21
:state=11:moveup=-1
:state=21:moveup=1
:state=11,raycastup=20 100:state=0,activate=0
:state=21,raycastup=20 0:state=0,activate=0
"


I am sorry to say that it didnt not work. The button would not even move when pressed and the lift did not respond. Nice try though. I did get the the lift to come back down from the floor right above me once using the default switch file. It came down very slowly. It would not respond from any floor except the one right above.
