i got a question. need help :/ Created 19 years ago2004-08-27 06:55:08 UTC by SwivMaster

i want to make a butten that will trigger a door under this circumstances:

• if the door is open it will close the door.
• if the door id closed it will leave the door closed.

i understand it has something to do with an env_global but im not sure how to use it in my situation.
any help will be greatly appreciated :

Will the player be able to open the door any other way swiv?

Try the trigger_relay:

I don't know how it behaves on a door but it's worth a try.

yes the player will be able to open it with func button

i've tryed that trigger_relay with trigger state 'off', and it doesnt work.
even when the door is closed it toggles it to open instead of leaving it closed.

set the door to "start open" and then a re-open delay to -1. that should make it work.

r u sure it works that way?
i tryed and still it works as a toggle

doors can still look normal to the player, even if the game thinks the door is open. if you can work it so the door wont close when triggered ifits already open, just make the door in its "open" state look closed to the player!.

You could probably use a func_wall_toggle to help somehow.

If all else fails, bemuse the player with lots of fancy effects and it'll seem better than a door to 'em

amen.

Lo, trapt. Note the lack of an opostrophe of omission before the 'l' there so I'm not greeting you but using the old word.
