weird glass door problem Created 19 years ago2004-07-31 19:58:54 UTC by JujitsuMan

I have a glass door with two panels that are glass, and a metal shape that looks like this

the glass is in the empty spots, i set all the peices of it to trigger eachother (three peices, frame and two panels), but when the panel goes down, the glass waits until it's all the way down until IT goes, is there any way to do this otherwise, or to fix it?

I cant decode that picture... What kind of door is it? Pure glass or part glass and the other half metal/wood/whatever. Well you could try making to separate doors, setting them to the same name, one glass, and the other ebng the rest of your door. Put a trigger multiple right in front of the door and youve got a glass door thingymajig. Wait, was that even what your asking?

ok, the picture messed up, it's a frame that like a sideways 8 with glass in the openings. I set all of it to trigger eachother, and left the frame with a blank name but a filled target, so the frame is what you hit to make it move.

the problem: the glass doesn't move until the frame is finished closing.

does that explain it better?

I think I know what your talking about. Sounds like you could try the method abov, but if that doesn't work to your liking, sorry, Im clueless.

where's the trigger multiple? i can't find one

nevermind i found it

didn't work, anyone know how to do this?

Draw a pic in paint/take a screenie of the Hammer screen and post it on the web so we can see what it is.

agh, how do i do it, it won't paste in

You have to upload it to webspace of some sort and post the link. Try ImageShack.

OK, well thats easy, get your trigger_multiple, set it the same height and width of the door but have the thickness of the trigger extend away from the door a few units, I usually use 16. Now set up a name for your door and set the trigger_multiple's target to the name of your door. Now it should open your door, glass and all, all at once.

i'll try that now

Read the doors with glass tutorial...targetting the glass with the door will mean that it's triggered when the door has finished opening. Use a multi_manager instead.
