Code Snippet

Plaintext

function switch_2()
{
	radius_trig = GetEnt("radius_trig2", "targetname");
        switch_trig = GetEnt("switch_trig2", "targetname");
	switch_trig SetHintString("Press and hold &&1 to connect Auxillary Power.");
	switch_trig SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");
	timer = 10;

	radius_trig waittill("trigger", player);
	switch_trig waittill("trigger", player);
	if (timer > 0)
	{
		wait .5;
		switch_trig setHintString("Connection in progress...");
		wait timer;
	}

	switch_trig setHintString("Connection Re-established!");

	level.switchesCompleted++;

        DO OTHER STUFF....
}

I have the above code... how would I check that the player is still within the trigger radius whilst the 10sec timer runs down.

I want the player to have to stay within the radius for the duration of the timer, and if they leave the radius, then the timer resets to 10.

Any help appreciated. Cheers

You could use the isTouching function:

Plaintext

  void <entity> IsTouching(<other entity>)

     [MANDATORY] <other entity> Entity.
  CATEGORY: 
  CLIENT/SERVER: Server
  SUMMARY: Returns true if <other entity> is touching <entity>
  EXAMPLE: if( player IsTouching( e_goal_volume ) ) { //do something }
