Rotating Gate Help (with code)

[will briggs]

Hey,

Me again

Well im trying to make a gate open on col shape hit but it isnt working...

Barrier = createObject ( 968, 1544.6271972656, -1630.3720703125, 13.8182258605957, 0, 0, 0 ) 
<colrectangle posX="1534.768" posY="-1630.3720703125" posZ="13.8182258605957" width="100" depth="61.8"/> 
toggle = 0 
  
function toggleBarrier(thePlayer,command) 
    if toggle == 0 then 
        setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 277) 
        toggle = 1 
    else 
        setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 0) 
        toggle = 0 
    end 
  
end 
  
function toggleBarrier(thePlayer,command) 
if toggle == 0 then 
        setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 277) 
        toggle = 1 
    else 
        setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 0) 
        toggle = 0 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker, toggleBarrier ) 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", marker, toggleBarrier ) 

Please can someone correct me ? Thanks

your whole code is f***ed up

1- there are 2 function with the same name which does the same thing ,

2- you are creating the colshape wrong its not a map file use

createColCircle 
createColCuboid 
createColRectangle 
createColSphere 
createColTube 
createColPolygon 

3- next time use [lua.][/lua] without the dot

     function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
               setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 277) 
         end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeLeave', Col, 
    function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
                setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
) 

not tested but should work

[will briggs]

Ive tested it, and it aint working, can you test it and see please...

[JR10]

Barrier = createObject ( 968, 1544.6271972656, -1630.3720703125, 13.8182258605957, 0, 0, 0 ) 
Col = createColTube(1544.768, -1630.3720703125, 11.8182258605957, 15, 15) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeHit', Col, 
     function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
               setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 277) 
         end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeLeave', Col, 
    function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
                setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 0) 
        end 
    end 
) 

the col shape was a bit high

Actually, the purpose of this forum is: you have a problem with scripting, we offer guidance on how to fix the problem and how to learn from your mistakes.

Not: fix my script plz.

Ok, Sorry

[will briggs]

Does anyone know how to make it move in one sweep, not just cut to the position?

Barrier = createObject ( 968, 1544.69, -1630.8, 13.3, 0, 89, 90 ) 
Col = createColTube(1544.8, -1630.3720703125, 11.8182258605957, 10, 10) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeHit', Col, 
     function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
               setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 0, 90) 
         end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeLeave', Col, 
    function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
                setElementRotation (Barrier, 0, 90, 90) 
        end 
    end 
)  

Thanks

[JR10]

dont double post use the edit botton ...

use move object use the map editor to get the coords of where the object should be

and use

moveObject(Barrier, 3000, x, y, z) 

[will briggs]

Thanks and sorry for the double post.

[JR10]

No problem.

Hey,

I changed it over to moveobject and its started doing alot of crazy stuff when i enter the colshape, can someone test it for me or tell me whats wrong with it... I think its because of the order setelementrotation was in...

Heres the code

Barrier = createObject ( 968, 1544.69, -1630.8, 13.3, 0, 89, 90 ) 
Col = createColTube(1544.8, -1630.3720703125, 11.8182258605957, 10, 10) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeHit', Col, 
     function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
           if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(hitElement))=="Police" then 
            playSoundFrontEnd ( 41 ) 
            moveObject(Barrier, 3000, 1544.69, -1630.8, 13.3, 0, 0, 90) 
           end 
         end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler('onColShapeLeave', Col, 
    function(hitElement, dim) 
         if getElementType(hitElement) == 'player' then 
        if getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(hitElement))=="Police" then 
            moveObject(Barrier, 3000, 1544.69, -1630.8, 13.3, 0, 89, 90) 
        end 
         end 
    end 
) 

Thanks

moveObject uses relative rotation.

so to place it back after you've rotated it 90 on Z axis you need to rotate it -90 degrees on Z axis (not by setting object rotation parameters from createObject)

[will briggs]

I added it and its still pretty messed up... Could you correct it for me?

Thanks - You help me with everything
