server-side interpolateBetween problem

[par4doxon]

I want to close / open a door object with interpolateBetween.

Here is the code:

local adminGateArea51Right = createObject(2929,215.89999389648,1875.4000244141,13.89999961853, 0, 0, 0) 
  
function closeGates() 
    startTime = getTickCount() 
    endTime = startTime + 2000 
    closeGatesInter() 
end 
  
function closeGatesInter() 
    local now = getTickCount() 
    local elapsedTime = now - startTime 
    local duration = endTime - startTime 
    local progress = elapsedTime / duration 
    while progress <= 1 do 
        now = getTickCount() 
        elapsedTime = now - startTime 
        duration = endTime - startTime 
        progress = elapsedTime / duration 
        local x, y, z = interpolateBetween(208.5, 1875.4000244141, 13.89999961853, 
            211.89999389648, 1875.4000244141, 13.89999961853, 
            progress, "OutBounce") 
        setElementPosition(adminGateArea51Left, x, y, z) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("close", closeGates) 

This code should close the left door, but the only think it does, is making heavy lags, and the door is lagging as well, prolly because of the while loop.

I admit, using a while loop isnt the best idea, but I didnt have better idea.

Can somebody help me correct this? Because I know, in client-side I can use onClientRender, but I dont know what to use in server-side, for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

You should use:

moveObject 

Instead 'setElementPosition'.

[WASSIm.]

read arguments moveObject and see easing

this exmple:

local x,y,z = 2096.3, 1721, 12.7 
local easing = "OutBounce" 
local time = 2000 
local gate = createObject(980, x,y,z, 0, 0, 63) 
local marker = createMarker(x,y,z, "cylinder", 12, 0, 0, 0, 0) 
  
function moveGate(hitPlayer, matchingDimension) 
        moveObject(gate, time, x+4.9, y+9.6, z, 0, 0, 0, easing) 
end 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", marker, moveGate) 
  
function moveBack() 
    moveObject(gate, time, x, y, z, 0, 0, 0, easing) 
end 
addEventHandler("onMarkerLeave", marker, moveBack)

Oh, thanks!
