Strange Prob with Elevators

Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2010 4:50 pm Post subject: Strange Prob with Elevators

Hi Guys
Hope all is Doing Good and are Well
Me again with a problem Twisted Evil

Ive added 2 Elevators to a test map
Both of them work fine apart from a strange thing
when the right Elevator is up and you go to use the left 1, The left Elevator goes down when it should go up? And it also happens to the right Elevator when you use the left
But when you use them both on there own they are fine once they go back to there starting positions and then go to use the other Elevator

Is there anything i can do to stop this?
The tut and script i used was from the RGN site
I dont know a great deal about scripting and what differant things do and how they go in the .gsc
Below is the code i used

main()
{
level.elevatorDown = true;
level.elevatorMoving = false;
thread elevator_start();
}

elevator_start()
{
elevator = getentarray ("switch","targetname");
if ( isdefined(elevator) )
for (i = 0; i < elevator.size; i++)
elevator thread elevator_think();
}

elevator_think()
{
while (1)
{
self waittill ("trigger");
if (!level.elevatorMoving)
thread elevator_move();
}
}

elevator_move()
{
elevatormodel = getent ("elevator", "targetname");
level.elevatorMoving = true;
speed = 2;
height =160;
if (level.elevatorDown)
{
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator");
elevatormodel movez (height, speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = false;
}
else
{
elevatormodel playsound ("elevator");
elevatormodel movez (height - (height * 2), speed);
elevatormodel waittill ("movedone");
level.elevatorDown = true;
}
level.elevatorMoving = false;
}

Thanx in advance for any help

I'm no modder, but it looks to me that you have to give the elevators separate names, for each to do it's own thing, ei: one code per elevator.
