Yeah was wondering if anyone knows how to make the prison cell doors work on a50 u know the ones Captain keyes is locked behind>>>

Yeah I know how to place them and assign a device group and a control to them but when u hit the switch nothing happends?

Meh. use object_destroy to destroy them after you hit the switch in a script.

O Ididn't know how to set up a script for it>>> Just for some other things?

basically device groups and such are only for SP. If you want to use them online, you have to add scripts to make them sync else only host will see it working properly

It's for SP and I still don't know how to get it working?

I'm not sure how to set up the door to open when the control is hit, but do something like this:

(script startup script
([code for device])
(object_destroy [name of door])
)

I'm pretty sure you know what to replace [name of door] with...

There is a permutation for it. You could use object_set_permutation but object_destroy works better IMO.

i thought i went throught this with you.
*remembers*

I thought I told you....


Every script MUST have a header, aka (script startup / dormant / continuous / static / stub.

In this case, use (script startup

Then you must have a condition to sleep until, otherwise it won't change it when you want it to, aka the code for the device.

Okay that worked but It made the door go away as soon as the map started...I wanted it to go away when u hit a switch?

Edit: Oh, I think you wanted the code... Here's what I got from Zteam's scripts:

(sleep_until (= (device_group_get prison_a_switch_position )1 ))

REMEMBER: NEVER USE IT ALONE. In this case, use it in front of the object_set_permutation. I believe that the switch is called prison_a_switch_position, and the doors will unlock when you turn it on. Here's the full code:

(script dormant mig_marines_prison_a
(sleep_until (= (device_group_get prison_a_switch_position )1 ))
(begin_random (begin (device_group_set prison_door_a_position_a 1 )(sleep (random_range 20 45 )))
(begin (device_group_set prison_door_a_position_b 1 )(sleep (random_range 20 45 )))
(begin (device_group_set prison_door_a_position_c 1 )(sleep (random_range 20 45 )))(begin (device_group_set prison_door_a_position_d 1 )(sleep (random_range 20 45 ))))
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_a "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_b "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_c "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_d "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_e "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_f "" "door_off-100" )
(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_g "" "door_off-100" )(object_set_permutation cell_a_door_h "" "door_off-100" ))

Hey thanks gamma and everyone else I got it working :)

Hey on the script how do you get a marine with his flashlight on

Do you know how to create and compile a script?

obviously he doesn't
there's probly a script in a50 (truth and rec) somewhere
