Making Forts For Teams

[heavy air]

hi all

i am tryin to make a defense system for my base

i have made doors that open and close when entering a collision sphere but what i want to do is make the collision sphere check what team u are on and then open if your on the right team

this is what ive got so far and the doors were working fine until i tried to add the check for what team the player is on

local upperdoorlock = createColSphere ( -1156, 43, -200, 8 ) 
local upperdoor = createObject ( 3113, -1156.52, 43.1175, 0, 0, 15.88000, 316.330 ) 
local sidedoorlock = createColSphere ( -1108, 65, -200, 8 ) 
local sidedoor = createObject ( 10828, -1108, 65, 5, 0, 0, 314 ) 
local heavysteam = createTeam ( "heavysteam" ) 
  
function joinateam( source, cmd ) 
   setPlayerTeam ( source, heavysteam ) 
   outputChatBox ( "your on Heavys Team" ) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "heavysside", joinateam ) 
  
function openupperdoor ( player ) 
   local myteam = getPlayerTeam ( player ) 
      if myteam == "heavysteam" then 
         outputChatBox ( "open sesame" ) 
         moveObject ( upperdoor, 5000, -1156.52, 43.1175, -10 ) 
         setElementPosition ( upperdoorlock, -1156, 43, -200 ) 
         setTimer ( moveObject, 8000, 1, upperdoor, 5000, -1156.52, 43.1175, 0 ) 
         setTimer ( setElementPosition, 10000, 1, upperdoorlock, -1156, 43, 0 ) 
         setTimer ( outputChatBox, 8000, 1, "close sesame" ) 
      else 
      end 
end 
  
function opensidedoor () 
   outputChatBox ( "open sesame" ) 
   setElementPosition ( sidedoorlock, -1110, 65, -200 ) 
   moveObject ( sidedoor, 5000, -1108, 65, -10 ) 
   setTimer ( MoveObject, 10000, 1, 5000, -1108, 65, 5 ) 
   setTimer ( setElementPosition, 12000, 1, sidedoorlock, -1110, 69, 5 ) 
   setTimer ( outputChatBox, 10000, 1, "close sesame" ) 
end 
  
function securemyfort ( player, cmd ) 
   setElementPosition ( upperdoorlock, -1156, 43, 0 ) 
   setElementPosition ( sidedoorlock, -1110, 69, 5 ) 
   addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", upperdoorlock, openupperdoor ) 
   addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", sidedoorlock, opensidedoor ) 
   outputChatBox ( "fort secured", 255, 0, 0 ) 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "secure", securemyfort ) 

i get an error on line 15 " bad player pointer" so i assume that i need to pass what player is triggering the collision sphere but i dont know how to do that or if thats what i need to do

i have had a quick look through the forums but cant find what i need . most of the time i can figure things out from the way other people have written other functions but i dont seem to be gettin anywhere with this one

thanks for any help

EDIT : the reason the check player team is only on one door is because this is first time i tried this and wanted to keep one working door for comparison

[eAi]

Are you walking through the door or driving - it'll trigger on the vehicle if you're driving...

[heavy air]

i am driving

does that mean it looks for the team the vehicle is on sort of thing?

if thats the case would i need to do a check if player in vehicle and then get player occupying vehicle and then check what team player is on

EDIT : just tried it walking ( no vehicle ) and i get no error in debug but door doesnt work either

still gives me same error when i n vehicle though
