[HELP]Gates react on name

[NameThatGuy]

Hi, I got a problem with gates, because I can't really script, but i'm learning aswell.

Anyways, I made 3 gates that I want to react on name, but what kind of script should I do? I already got the .lua file but I have no idea what to do with it so it opens when I get close to it.

If you got problems to understand my english, please let me know

 createMarker -- create a marker  
"onMarkerHit"--when player hit the marker     
getPlayerName -- to check player name  
moveObject --to open the gate 
"onMarkerLeave"-- when the player left the marker  
moveObject --to close the gate

Thanks alot, but how do I format it within the coordinates etc.

--Client side: Only you can see it opening 
--Server side: Everybody can see it opening 
  
marker = createMarker(0,0,3,"cylinder", 3, 255, 200, 0, 140, getRootElement()) 
-- Create the marker at the middle of GTA 
gate = createObject(980, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0) -- create the gate when the resource starts 
  
function moveGate() -- create the moving gate function 
moveObject(gate, 1000, 0, 0, 5) -- move it 5 units higher in 1 second (1000ms) 
setTimer(moveObject, 5000, 1, gate, 0, 0, 3) -- move it back after 5 seconds 
end 
addCommandHandler("meep", moveGate)

Thanks, Jesse. But where do I put my coordinates?

x: 1119.2196044922

y: -1161.8154296875

z: 25.339630126953

and can I repeat this to get 2 more gates in one script, if then, how?

[bandi94]

@ Jesseunit why you create a marker if you use comand (/meep) ?

@ NameThatGuy you wanna the gate to open whit code ( exp you need to type in chat /meep or check the player name )

[NameThatGuy]

But when I start the map editor, I don't know how to start his script, I made like this; folder "mygate" > "mygate.lua" and I pasted his script into it and started the map editor and made a gate, but I have no idea how to test it.. btw, i'm using 1.1

[bandi94]

bk you need to put your cordinates tell me you wanna the gate to open whit code ( exp you need to type in chat /meep or check the player name ) and i make it for you and i show you where you need to put your cordinates and ..

[NameThatGuy]

Uhm, I mean, how do I put the script into my gate and how is it supposed to know my coordinates?

[bandi94]

  
gate = createObject(980, x, y, z, rx, ry, rz) -- 980 it id of object(gate) x,y,z is cordinates of gate ,rx,ry,rz is rotation of gate 
 function moveGate() -- create the moving gate function 
moveObject(gate, 1000, x, y, z) -- 1 second (1000ms)  x,y,z is the cordinates when gate is opened  
setTimer(moveObject, 5000, 1, gate, x, y, z) -- move it back after 5=(5000ms) seconds, x,y,z is cordinates when the gate is closed 
end 
addCommandHandler("meep", moveGate)-- to open the gate you need to write in chat /meep  

you need to ad this in a .lua file in meta you put server side start script start play mode go to gate and write in chat /meep and the gate open and after 5s after opened it close (its btert to usemarker bk if you stay in gate and the 5 sec passed then the gate will close and you get stuck)

in map editor put your gate when you whant and se ethe cordinates when the gate is in colsed posotion and again when is opened position

[bandi94]

yes like that

Hi, i'm back, I edited a little so it now looks like this;

  
--Client side: Only you can see it opening 
--Server side: Everybody can see it opening 
  
-- Create the marker at the middle of GTA 
gate = createObject(980, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- create the gate when the resource starts 
  
function moveGate() -- create the moving gate function 
moveObject(gate, 1000, 1, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 23.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- move it 5 units higher in 1 second (1000ms) 
setTimer(moveObject, 5000, 1, gate, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- move it back after 3 seconds 
end 
addCommandHandler("meep", moveGate) 
  

and I removed the from the meta.xml and replaced it with

Anyway, now I managed to get the script working on the gate, but the gate disappears and never comes back. It doesn't move a little, it just completely disappear so I have to restart it all the time. Any thoughts?

[bandi94]

you added "1" at moveObject affter 1000 and also i modified 1000 to 3000 and 5000 to 6000 for smother move

--Client side: Only you can see it opening

-- Create the marker at the middle of GTA 
gate = createObject(980, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- create the gate when the resource starts 
  
function moveGate() -- create the moving gate function 
moveObject(gate, 3000,  1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 23.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- move it 5 units higher in 1 second (1000ms)  
setTimer(moveObject, 6000, 1, gate, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- move it back after 3 seconds 
end 
addCommandHandler("meep", moveGate) 

[NameThatGuy]

Thanks man, you're the best! But it only moved halfway and then it disappeared, how to fix this?

[bandi94]

try this

--Client side: Only you can see it opening 
--Server side: Everybody can see it opening 
  
-- Create the marker at the middle of GTA 
gate = createObject(980, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953, 0, 0, 0) -- create the gate when the resource starts 
  
function moveGate() -- create the moving gate function 
moveObject(gate, 3000,  1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 23.339630126953) -- move it 5 units higher in 1 second (1000ms) 
setTimer(moveObject, 6000, 1, gate,3000, 1119.2196044922, -1161.8154296875, 25.339630126953) -- move it back after 3 seconds 
end 
addCommandHandler("meep", moveGate) 

[NameThatGuy]

Nice, but it didn't work, it moves halfway down but now it moves up atleast I need help to get it all the way down to the ground and then up again

[bandi94]

i don't know why its not working if you wanna i can make it whit a marker when you go in front of the gate its open when you left the gate its close ... or see if somebody can fix it
