Hello everybody, I'm having some problems with a script in a map I'm making, I'm new in mapping and it's the first time I try to create a script.

I have created an elevator using 3D floor in gzdoom builder, I've put the tag 45 on the floor, on the ceiling of the elevator.
I want that you can call the elevator with a switch and then the elevator came back to the original position after waiting for some second.

This is what I wrote:

script 8 (void)
{
Floor_LowerByValue(45,27,128);
Ceiling_LowerByValue(45,27,128);
Delay(1);
Floor_RaiseByValue(45,27,128);
Ceiling_RaiseByValue(45,27,128);
}

Repetable action;
When player presses use;

The elevator lower correct, but is not raising... What am I missing?

You will probably have to lengthen the delay time to compensate for the Floor and Ceiling lower speed, otherwise the raise event happens too early afterwards.

instead of delay(1); use tagwait(45);

While I was waiting I figured out:

script 8 (void)
{
{
Floor_LowerByValue(45,27,128);
Ceiling_LowerByValue(45,27,128);
Delay(1);
}
Delay(100);
{
Floor_RaiseByValue(45,27,128);
Ceiling_RaiseByValue(45,27,128);
Delay(1);
}
}

In this way it works. But I try tagwait right now! Tahnk you!

Np, also just letting you know, FloorAndCeiling_LowerByValue and FloorAndCeiling_RaiseByValue exists.

tagwait is more flexible because you won't have to change the delay if you decide to alter the raise/lower speed in the future.

Nobody noticed this thread being in the wrong place? There's Editing Help section for these questions.

the delay(x); thing counts tics, not seconds. 35 tics = 1 second

Moved thread to the correct subforum.

Also, this is probably the best thing to do:

Ah? ahahahaha! I didn't know it!!!

Thank you, didn't know "tagwait".

Ok, this information is very usefull.

My apologies

Code: Select all

script 8 (void){
    FloorAndCeiling_LowerByValue(45,27,128);
    Tagwait(45);
    Delay(35); //wait a second before actually moving up again.
    FloorAndCeiling_RaiseByValue(45,27,128);
}

Works really great! Thank you everybody, I am very greteful, may I ask another question? If I want to change the brightness of a room, which script should I look for?

Light_Fade (tag, value, tics)
- tag: Tag of affected sector
- value: New light level
- tics: How long the light takes to fade to the new level

Since the thirth argument allows you to slowly fade to the desired brightness, a loop is not needed.

Ok, and if I want to coordinate a sound with the lack of light I had first to define it in SNDINFO, then I had to use "A_PlaySound" function?

Nevermind, I don't need the answer anymore! SNDINFO, SNDSEQ, 80 script X (void) {Soundsequence ("myfile"); }

Thank you anyway!
