Title: Elivator simulator
Post by: punisher on 15 Nov 2005, 21:09:49

How can i get a action to apear at the top of a building when you select an option to do so.
and then when you are at the top , selecting the action makes you apear at the botom.
So it basically simulates an elivator.

I was thinking putting objects at the botom and top of the building and adding actions to them, but i dont know what script or syntax to use.
thanks

Probably the simplest way is to do what you are thinking.  Put a Game Logic at the top and at the bottom of the building.  Call one of them GL_Bottom and the other GL_Top

then somewhere - in their init fields or in init.sqs put:

Code: [Select]

GL_Bottom addAction [{Teleport up},{Teleport.sqs}]
GL_Top addAction [{Teleport down},{Teleport.sqs}]Teleport.sqs looks something like:

Code: [Select]

_obj = _this select 0
_man = _this select 1

if (_obj == GL_Bottom) then {_man setPos getPos GL_Top} else {_man setPos getPos GL_Bottom}
exit

Totally untested, but it might give you some ideas.

_man cannot be _this select 1 in this case IIRC b/c you are not passing any parameters to the script.

Never mind, double checked in the comref:

_obj = _this select 0 (Object action was attached to)
_man = _this select 1 (Unit which activated it)
_index = _this select 2 (ID of action)

lets just say I learned something else today  ;D
