hello guys could i get a bit of help please for all i know this could be something really easy to fix but im still learning the basics
so ive set up a door with 3 damage trigs

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//Secret_Easter_Egg
secret_door()
{
   door = getEnt("secret_door","targetname");
   if(self.secret_trigger_num == 3)
   {
      door movez(-500, 25);
      iprintlnbold ("You found them! Secret door unlocked!");
      wait 8;
      door delete();
   }
}




hidden_secret()
{
   count = 0;
   trig1 = getEnt("secret_trigger","targetname");
   trig2 = getEnt("secret_trigger1","targetname");
   trig3 = getEnt("secret_trigger2","targetname");
   self thread tmdewait( trig1 );
   self thread tmdewait( trig2 );
   self thread tmdewait( trig3 );
   while(1)
   {
      wait 1;
      self waittill( "got_easter" );
      count = count+1;
      if ( count == 3 )
      {
         thread secret_door();
      }
   }
}




tmdewait( trig )
{
   trig waittill("trigger", player );
   trig delete();
   iprintlnbold ("You found one!");
   self notify( "got_easter" );
}

it seems ive done everything right apart from as soon as i get in the game it unlocks the door and txt shows on screen saying its unlocked

Not sure where to start here Tommy. Your use of self is not correct. You probably wanted to thread hidden_secret not secret_door to start. But your whole set up is kind of awkward.

If you are just trying to learn more, you may want to try a few things.
- Look at your use of self. Self represents the object that the function was thread on.
- Note that if something is undefined it passes as true.
- add iprintlnbold("this is happening"); statements through out your code to help you troubleshoot what is happening.

Spoiler: click to open...

self.secret_trigger_num is undefined so that is opening your door right away since you thread secret_door off the bat.
your code might even work if you thread hidden_secret instead but it isn't right or free of errors.
after you get this working, think about if you could do this with an array of triggers using the same kvps?

Thanks for the help MakeCents il give thread hidden_secret a try for now and then see what i could work upon from there trying to take it one step at a time so not to confuse my self.

In addition to what MakeCents said, if you need more than one entity that does the same thing you should use an array instead of executing code on each individual entities.

Also, the whole got_easter notify part isn't needed. You can just thread a basic trig function to check if the amount of trigs is equal to the amount triggered.

Can't give code examples because I'm on a tablet. Sorry.

Thanks for your help too daedra descent as MakeCents said thread hidden_secret worked right off so for now that will do, but im going to see what else i could do with this im not 100% sure what to do with arrays or how id even start tbh im still learning ive come from scrippting Arma 2 Dayz to this and i wasnt amazing at scripting anyway

i got it to work right off the bat with what MakeCents said as its just a small alcove behind the door that has a default model for the song and a buyable minigun in it... if you think i need to do other things for it and if you have the time and are willing to help then by all means please do Harry im here to learn after all

i do believe im having trouble connecting my paths as my zombies dont follow me though doors a have them set as dynamic paths
