Air Lock Created 18 years ago2005-06-03 21:20:41 UTC by Zat_AJ

Hi... I want to use this Airlock prefab in my map:

http://prefabs.gamedesign.net/download.php3?prefab_id=1763&game_id=3&category_id=5

I have it working and everything, but I don't know how it works. I would like to add some stuff to it so that it works better with the custom mod I'm running. Is there anyway one of you great people could draw me one of those pictures? Ya know? The ones that say, "Multimanager (Name here) triggers env_sprite (Name)"

And they have little arrows. Please? I would love whomever did that for me! YOU'RE MY GOD!

Thanks for any help.

GRRR!!! I've been working on this for hours! I can't seem to alture it so that it goes like this:

Starts out:
Door1 open (air side)
Door2 closed (water side)
water down

1: Door1 close
2: Water goes up
3: Door2 open
4: Door2 close
5: Water goes down
6: Door1 open

That's all I want to do. I don't care if it's all in one shot. I guess I should use 2 multimanagers to do that but it won't work! Grrr!!!

I want it to go like this then?:
Press button that targets MM1
MM1:
1: Door1 close
2: Water goes up
3: Door2 open
4: Target MM2

MM2:
1: Door2 close
2: Water goes down
3: Door1 open
Button resets

Now if only I could do it! I'm sorry for posting so much and often, but it's really starting to piss me off.

Hmmm... well I got it half going. I think I'll give it a break and go back to it later. I guess I don't really need your help anymore. I still want to thank you for err.... well I guess letting me organize my thoughts on this forum. Prehaps it will help someone else in the future.

Heh - That was easy

Hmmm... now I've got another problem though. How do I solve the water problem? I want it so that you can see that water through the wall and it higher, but you can see where the two water brushes intersect when you get close enough.Do you see how some of the water is brighter on the surface than the others?

Hmmm... Now look at this. Why is this doing this?

Put NULL on the sides. Tying the brush to a func_water might hide the sides, too.

Null? As is a texture? Sorry, I don't know what NULL is.

It's a texture. There is one in zhlt.wad, which'll've come with your copy of Zoner's tools (hence the filename), or you can just name any ol' texture NULL and it'll serve the same purpose. It's the name that matters.

Well what does it do?

It discards the face that it's applied to. Try it and see?

Wow... you're right... thanks for the help.

Live long and prosper.

Ok... I din't want to start a new topic with this because it still about the air lock. The problem I'm having is:

When the round restarts with the water up, the water stays up ("OPEN") at the beginingof the next round. Is there any way to trigger the water to close only if it's open? I want to make sure that it is closed every time I press the button. A trigger_relay set to off doesn't work. What might?

Thanks for the help.

After about 2 days of no sleep I've decided that the problem just isn't worth it. I guess I'll just leave it as a bug.
