[Faction Gates]

[Portside]

Wow... I've a lot of gate problems. I got this off a friend, I just done what it told me;

local objectID = 980 --Place the object ID here 
local originalX,originalY,originalZ = 1579, 713.599609375, 12.5 --Place the coords of the gate here 
local rotationX,rotationY,rotationZ = 0,0,90 --Place the rotations of the gate here 
  
local factionName = "The Montana Family" --Put the EXACT faction name here, including capitals and special features 
  
local moveX,moveY,moveZ = 2000, 1579, 713.599609375, 7 --Place the coords to move the gate to here 
local moveRotX,moveRotY,moveRotZ = 0,0,0 --Place the rotations for the gate here (if you do not want it to rotate, put: 0,0,0) 
  
local timeToMoveGate = 3000 --Put the time it takes to open/close the gate here (in milliseconds) 
local timeToStayOpen = 4000 --Put the time that the gate stays open until it closes (in milliseconds) 
  
local command = "gate" --Put the command name you want to use here 
local distanceFromGate = 15 --Put the minimal distance from the gate to open it here 
  
--####################################################### 
--####   DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW HERE (BITCH)     #### 
--####################################################### 
local gateState = false --Leave this at false, you don't need to edit this 
  
thisGate = createObject(objectID,originalX,originalY,originalZ,rotationX,rotationY,rotationZ) --Creates the object and names it 'thisGate' 
  
exports.pool:allocateElement(thisGate) --Let's just leave this here, okay? 
  
local function resetGateState() --Function to reset the state of the gate 
    gateState = false --Sets the gate state to closed 
end 
  
local function closeThisGate() --Function to close the gate 
    moveObject(thisGate,timeToMoveGate,originalX,originalY,originalZ,0 - moveRotX,0 - moveRotY,0 - moveRotZ) --Moves the gate back to the original position 
    setTimer(resetGateState,timeToMoveGate) --Resets the state of the gate after the gate has moved back to it's original position 
end 
  
local function useGate(thePlayer, commandName) --Function that triggers the gate 
    local posX,posY,posZ = getElementPosition(thePlayer) --Gets the position of the gate 
    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(originalX,originalY,originalZ,posX,posY,posZ) --Gets the distance between the player and the original position of the gate 
    local team = getPlayerTeam(thePlayer) --Gets the team from the player 
     
    if(distance <= distanceFromGate and gateState == false and team == getTeamFromName(factionName)) then --Checks if the player is near enough and if the gate is not open/opening/closing and checks the faction name 
        gateState = true --Sets the gate to open/opening/closing 
        moveObject(thisGate,timeToMoveGate,moveX,moveY,moveZ,moveRotX,moveRotY,moveRotZ) --Moves the object to the location that is wanted 
        setTimer(closeThisGate,timeToMoveGate + timeToStayOpen,1) --Sets the times to close the gate again 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler(command, useGate) 

The gate disappears once I type in the command; /gate. Not quite sure what's wrong with it.

Fill in your requirements

gate= createObject() -- Fill in ModelID, x,y,z, rx, ry, rz 
nottrue = false 
  
addCommandHandler("gate", 
function (thePlayer) 
    team = getPlayerTeam (thePlayer) 
    if ( getTeamName ( team ) == "EDIT" ) then -- change the EDIT to your Faction name 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (x, y, z, gx, gy, gz) -- change the gx, gy, gz to your Gate coordinates, stay off of the x, y, z 
    if distance < 35 then 
        if (nottrue == false) then 
            moveObject( insideDoor, 2000, x, y, z, 0, 0, 0 ) 
            nottrue = true 
        elseif (nottrue == true) then 
            moveObject( insideDoor, 2000, x, y, z, 0, 0, 0 ) 
            nottrue = false 
        end 
    end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Access Denied!", thePlayer, 255, 100, 0) 
        end 
end) 

This is what I use

[Portside]

I don't quite understand how to fill it out

[ViRuZGamiing]

give me your values and i'll fill it in

[Portside]

-- objID, X, Y, Z

980, 1579, 713.599609375, 12.5 --Closed State 
1579, 713.599609375, 7 --Open State 
Faction: The Montana Family 

[ViRuZGamiing]

gate= createObject(980, 1579, 713.6, 12.5, 0, 0, 0) -- Not quite sure if the rotation should be 0 else edit it 
nottrue = false 
  
addCommandHandler("gate", 
function (thePlayer) 
    team = getPlayerTeam (thePlayer) 
    if ( getTeamName ( team ) == "The Montana Family" ) then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (x, y, z, 1579, 713.6, 12.5) 
    if distance < 35 then 
        if (nottrue == false) then 
            moveObject( insideDoor, 2000, 1579, 713.6, 12.5, 0, 0, 0 ) 
            nottrue = true 
        elseif (nottrue == true) then 
            moveObject( insideDoor, 2000, 1579, 713.6, 7, 0, 0, 0 ) 
            nottrue = false 
        end 
    end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Access Denied!", thePlayer, 255, 100, 0) 
        end 
end) 

Here you go!

[Portside]

Nah, it ain't working

[TAPL]

gate = createObject(980, 1579, 713.6, 12.5, 0, 0, 90) -- Not quite sure if the rotation should be 0 else edit it 
nottrue = false 
  
addCommandHandler("gate", 
function (thePlayer) 
    local team = getPlayerTeam (thePlayer) 
    if ( team and getTeamName ( team ) == "The Montana Family" ) then 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D (x, y, z, 1579, 713.6, 12.5) 
        if distance < 35 then 
            if (nottrue == true) then 
                moveObject( gate, 2000, 1579, 713.6, 12.5 ) 
                nottrue = false 
            elseif (nottrue == false) then 
                moveObject( gate, 2000, 1579, 713.6, 7 ) 
                nottrue = true 
            end 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Access Denied!", thePlayer, 255, 100, 0) 
    end 
end)

Thanks! Mind adding a timer to that? aha

[TAPL]

Timer? what for and why you don't try do it yourself first?

[Portside]

Urhm... that's the thing, I did lol

[Portside]

Amazingly I'd love to get lessons for scripting in general haha
