What I want, is a door, that needs power, and shows the "you must turn power on first!" hintstring, but after the power turns on, becomes a normal buyable door.

Closest ive come is using script_noteworthy electric_door, which results in it opening on power being turned on.

Anyone know how I can achieve this?

you can disable its trigger and put another trigger there that says you need to turn on the power to open it. and put a flag_wait for electricy_on (i may be wrong about it's name since i haven't touched waw since may), delete that trigger and enable the door's actual trigger.

I wouldnt know where to begin scripting that, but im aware its a possibility. If that will work, thatll be great

In your mapname.gsc under maps/zombiemode_main type

 thread power_door();

At the bottom of the file, paste this into it

power_door()
{
door_trig = getent("TARGET_OF_TRIG","target");
door_trig SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");
door_trig disable_trigger();
power_door_trig = getent("need_power","targetname");
power_door_trig SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");
power_door_trig SetHintString("Power must be activated first");
flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
power_door_trig delete();
door_trig enable_trigger();
}

change TARGET_OF_TRIG, to the name of the target that is on the trig, not the targetname. so like target, door1 etc.

Then make a new trig that overlaps that trig and name it Key: targetname, Value: need_power. That should cover it

Not tested, so let me know how it does.

In your _zombiemode_blockers_new.gsc find the door_think function, and add to the else another if statement:

door_think()
{
	// maybe the door the should just bust open instead of slowly opening.
	// maybe just destroy the door, could be two players from opposite sides..
	// breaking into chunks seems best.
	// or I cuold just give it no collision
	while( 1 )
	{
		if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door")
		{
			flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
		}
		else
		{
			self waittill( "trigger", who ); 
			if( !who UseButtonPressed() )
			{
				continue;
			}

Make it look like this:

door_think()
{
	// maybe the door the should just bust open instead of slowly opening.
	// maybe just destroy the door, could be two players from opposite sides..
	// breaking into chunks seems best.
	// or I cuold just give it no collision
	while( 1 )
	{
		if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door"  && !isDefined(self.zombie_cost))
		{
			flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
		}
		else
		{
			if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door"){
				flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
				cost = 1000;
				if( IsDefined( self.zombie_cost ) ) cost = self.zombie_cost;
				self set_hint_string( self, "default_buy_door_" + cost );
			}
			self waittill( "trigger", who ); 
			if( !who UseButtonPressed() )
			{
				continue;
			}

Then you can use electric and zombie_cost on the same door.

In your _zombiemode_blockers_new.gsc find the door_think function, and add to the else another if statement:

door_think()
{
	// maybe the door the should just bust open instead of slowly opening.
	// maybe just destroy the door, could be two players from opposite sides..
	// breaking into chunks seems best.
	// or I cuold just give it no collision
	while( 1 )
	{
		if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door")
		{
			flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
		}
		else
		{
			self waittill( "trigger", who ); 
			if( !who UseButtonPressed() )
			{
				continue;
			}

Make it look like this:

door_think()
{
	// maybe the door the should just bust open instead of slowly opening.
	// maybe just destroy the door, could be two players from opposite sides..
	// breaking into chunks seems best.
	// or I cuold just give it no collision
	while( 1 )
	{
		if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door"  && !isDefined(self.zombie_cost))
		{
			flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
		}
		else
		{
			if(isDefined(self.script_noteworthy) && self.script_noteworthy == "electric_door"){
				flag_wait( "electricity_on" );
				cost = 1000;
				if( IsDefined( self.zombie_cost ) ) cost = self.zombie_cost;
				self set_hint_string( self, "default_buy_door_" + cost );
			}
			self waittill( "trigger", who ); 
			if( !who UseButtonPressed() )
			{
				continue;
			}

Then you can use electric and zombie_cost on the same door.

Ya, that seems better than my way. Use this instead

Used zombiekillers way before seeing MakeCents way, it worked fine.
Thank you both anyway

Oh, I thought you wanted it to be a door trigger after electric was on. Wait till purchased, connect paths, move the door, enable the zone, stuff like that.

Yeah that is what I wanted, and it works fine.

Door says needs power, I turn power on, it becomes buy for 1000, and buying it activates zone/spawners etc

I'm glad you got it working, but all that script does is hide a trig, and show the trig after electric, deleting a trig. You'll need more scripting for the rest. You should post the rest of the script for those that come to this post later, or not. Up to you.

If G-spawn risk is increased, then I will go for your method.

But the rest of the script? The only changes I made were what was posted at the bottom of mapname

Only by one. I'm not trying to convince you other wise. Use what you have working. I just wouldn't do toys for 20 doors. And I didn't see how that was all the script. That trig must be involved some other way.

Well adding only what was posted there worked, the rest of the door was handled the way any other door would be

So the trigger kvp, for the door, was zombie_door then?

It was door1, the targetname of the clip, door and trigger I was using, the rest of the door set up like a normal door
