Can someone explain how to actually use the MoveTo(); function? I looked at it on the script reference and used it exactly how it says. the Entity just stays where it is and doesn't move.

        rock2_target = GetEnt("rock2_Start","targtname");
	rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target, 3, 0.1, 0.1);
	wait 4;
	rock2 RotatePitch(45,3,0.5);

Heres the example from the script ref

dummy moveTo(dest_org, .5, .05, .05);

rock2_target is a script origin with that kvp copied straight from radiant so its defiantly correct.
RotatePitch works fine and does what it should.
rock2 is a script_model.

Any ideas to why this doesn't work or perhaps an alternative function to do that same thing? They need to go to very specific positions and that will change as the code continues so it has to be moved to an origin or something similar.

Shouldnt you do this:

rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

dest_org is an origin, not an entity.

rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

Using this still didn't do anything.

rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

Using this still didn't do anything.

rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

MoveTo( <point>, <time>, <acceleration time>, <deceleration time> )

Make sure entity is script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel

Script Model:



Script Origin:

Everyone was right with the:

rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

But you also have a typo:

rock2_target = GetEnt("rock2_Start","targtname");

Your missing an e

should be:

rock2_target = GetEnt("rock2_Start","targetname");

Surprised an error wasn't thrown from that....

It didn't because he wasn't using the developer commands. Maybe 6 people in the entire community actually do.

Edit: glossed over the type in targetname. Oops.

I defiantly was using developer mode... When I get an error I use developer 2. I never notice script_developer doing anything so I just ignore it.

Developer and developer_script don't work fully unless you launch your map with them enabled beforehand. If you do it after the map loads, no it won't do anything besides look at nods, paths, etc.

And yes, if you did do developer it would tell you something because getEnt would have returned undefined due to the typo.

I did what MakeCents said and its still not working.

rock2_target = GetEnt("rock2_Start","targetname");
rock2 MoveTo(rock2_target.origin, 3, 0.1, 0.1);

Is there more than one with that target name?

Nope. Do you think the script string might be messing it up? I see no reason it would but then again this should be working.

Reasons for it still not working, is things are not defined, or the script isn't running, or something like that. Adding iprint's after and before each part, showing you what step your on in the script, and that each step was successful will help determine your next step.

You will want to print if your entities are defined, their origin, or whatever relative information there is.
