The question is simple, I'm trying to make that when a trigger is activated a brushmodel with certain KVP dissapears and another brushmodel placed in the same location shows. The thing is to get that once a second trigger is activated, the hidden brushmodel shows and the showed one dissapears again, so the process can be repeated.
I know that I can get this by using the hide() and show() functions, but I don't know exactly how. If we collaborate we can make a tutorial so people can get on/off brushmodels etc.
Also, and it's a second question I wanted to know how to assign a scrolling material in radiant. If it can just be made by asset manager and saving it a scroll and then puting it on radiant as a custom texture or what. Thanks a lots.
I can help you, but first I want to ask you do you want the brush to be like a door, like you can go through it after you have activated the trigger? Because "what I have experienced is" is that yes the brush do hide and you can not see it but the clip itself is still there so you can't go through it when the brush will hide. So the first thing that I want to know before I help you is, will it represent to be a door? And is it okay if you can have so the brush will move instead of hide? You can decide how quick the brush will move so if you want it to be very fast it may look like that it disappeares.
I'm trying to make the teleporter cable from kino der toten. So, i'll make two cylinders, one with the scrolling texture, the other with a normal texture. So, when the kino_teleporter trigger is activated, the player sees the active cable, and when the player teleports, the default cable shows up again, so the players can see quickly if the teleporter is linked or not.
I believe that the Show(); and hide(); functions are what you want. I'm not sure how your functions are going to look like, but to give you an idea on how to use them:
Okey, then I maybe can help. So you already have the setup for kino style teleporters with the script and anything in the map?

Post Merge: January 15, 2014, 08:33:32 pmEdit again: Okey Deadra basically said the same idea that I had so you just add both wires at the same location, just so the un-linked wire covers the whole wire with the scrolling texture. And then if you use the lines that deadra said the regular wire will hide so the wire with scrolling texture a showing. But if you want as you said to make so the un-linked wire are showing after you have used the teleporter to make it look like the wire is not linked to the teleporter again, you will have to add the line (whatever you name the wire)
Code Snippet
Plaintext
un_linked_wire show();
after the line that says in the teleporter script when the teleporter has been used, so it could look like.
Code Snippet
Plaintext
level waittill ("teleporter_used"); //whatever the names for the trigger and script_models have. un_linked_wire show();
So ingame it would look like the wire has been deactivated because wire with scrolling texture has been covered with the un linked wire after the line that makes the wire to show.
Or you could do the opposite, make the linked wire to cover the un linked wire and then make the linked wire to hide before the teleporter trigger have been used, and then make so the wire shows up after the teleporter has been activated.

if(who.score < level.kts["teleport_cost"]) { who playsound("deny"); continue; } who playsound("purchase"); who maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score( level.kts["teleport_cost"] ); break; } setHintVar(4); level.kino_teleporter_trigger do_teleport(); setHintVar(5); wait level.kts["teleporter_cooldown_time"]; } }
Sethhintvar2 defines what should happen when the teleporter is linked. Sethintvar3 defines what should happen when users do teleport. So in Sethintvar2 We must add the showing of the scrolling one and hide it again in the sethintvar3.
Oh okey if you say so then, I would do (I have not tested this but this is what I would try at first) I would make the script you gave me to llok like this.
if(who.score < level.kts["teleport_cost"]) { who playsound("deny"); continue; } who playsound("purchase"); who maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score( level.kts["teleport_cost"] ); break; } setHintVar(4); level.kino_teleporter_trigger do_teleport(); setHintVar(5); wait level.kts["teleporter_cooldown_time"]; } }
Again, this is untested so please make a backup of your kino der toten teleporter .gsc file before you tset this so if you get an error you can just paste over the correct backup file and then we maybe come up with an another sloution if this doesn't work. If it is wrong then maybe I have just typed wrong on what I added but yea, make a backup of the script and test and see.
Ok, here's the thing. First, Asset Manager won't let me scroll textures. I set it as Model Phong and now the option appears. However, the texture works, but is not scrolling. Maybe I have to copy more things into mod folder, not only the .iwi
The teleporter scripts works like this. With power off, the liked wire shows. When turned power on the liked wire disappears, when linked, does not come back... It's a progress however. I'll keep trying
I figured out by myself. Yeah, the power thing is fixed with your script, but I made a mistake, the second hide function should go in sethintvar(4) not the third, otherwise the wire won't come back. So, If I got the scrolling texture to work This is a completely win. For those interested, here's the wining script:
