Hi, i've tried to add a simple platform that once you press the trigger will go up/down. When i'm in game the lift moves without me pressing anything, and keep going up and down for no reason, and also the trigger still have the hand icon and do not show any text. That's not the first time this happens to me, I don't know what I did wrong [sorry for bad english] Here's my code: Code Snippet Plaintext Copy lift() { lift = getEnt("lift", "targetname"); trig = getEnt("trigg", "targetname"); trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" ); trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt(); trig setHintString("Press ^2[&&1] ^6to move lift"); //false == down, true == up lift_is = false; for (;;) { trig waittill("trigger"); if (lift_is == false) { lift MoveZ (176, 4); lift_is = true; wait 5; } if (lift_is == true) { lift MoveZ (-176, 4); lift_is = false; wait 5; } } wait 0.5; }

Your trigger is undefined, and passing as true, skipping the wait till trigger. Since you have a hand icon, but it is moving, we know that your script is running, but there is an error. Either with kvp, or with script. I'd recommend deleting that target name of one of them and making it the target of the other anyway. Then you can get one ent, and get it's target for the other, less chance for errors.

Lift problem in Scripting

lift() { lift = getEnt("lift", "targetname"); trig = getEnt("trigg", "targetname"); trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" ); trig UseTriggerRequireLookAt(); trig setHintString("Press ^2[&&1] ^6to move lift"); //false == down, true == up lift_is = false; for (;;) { trig waittill("trigger"); if (lift_is == false) { lift MoveZ (176, 4); lift_is = true; wait 5; } if (lift_is == true) { lift MoveZ (-176, 4); lift_is = false; wait 5; } } wait 0.5; }

if (lift_is == false) { lift MoveZ (176, 4); lift_is = true; wait 5; } else if (lift_is == true) // else if - or could use just "else" { lift MoveZ (-176, 4); lift_is = false; wait 5; }

Since you had 2 triggers with same targetname, you would have to use getentarray instead of getent. getent is only for 1 trig with a certain targetname, getentarray is for more than one. For something like this I would recommend what makecents said.

Yeah, I used getEntArray and edited the code, now it's working perfecly, thanks for the help guys, i'm new to scripting

Code Snippet

Plaintext

lift()
{
	trig = getEntArray("trigger", "targetname");
 
	for (i=0;i<trig.size;i++)
	{
		trig[i] thread trigs_think();
	}

	//false == down, true == up
	level.lift_is = false;
	level.lift_moving = false;
}

trigs_think()
{
	lift = getEnt("lift", "targetname");
 
	self SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	self UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
	self setHintString("Press ^3[&&1] ^7to move lift");

	for (;;)
	{
		self waittill("trigger");

		if (level.lift_is == false && level.lift_moving == false)
		{
			level.lift_moving = true;
			lift MoveZ (128, 4);
			level.lift_is = true;
			wait 5;
			level.lift_moving = false;
		}

		else if (level.lift_is == true && level.lift_moving == false)
		{
			level.lift_moving = true;
			lift MoveZ (-128, 4);
			level.lift_is = false;
			wait 5;
			level.lift_moving = false;
		}
		wait 0.5;
	}
}
