I am wondering f there is a script or something i could do to make my animated scenery do an animation but only does it once.

Now i am no stinkin script genius so please dont get all crazy wit it.
thankssss.

A device_machine could do this via script, I'm not sure about a scenery. Although there's not much to making a device, look at another from a campaign as a guide.

i have made a device machine before.
may you help me out with the script and do i just make it like a door?

Yea, making it just like a door should work, though the piston/grating things used in d40 that you have to throw grenades into are more similar to what you'd be doing.

I'd love to help with the scripting, however, I know very little about it, and I have no references to look at at the moment. Someone else would be better in any case.

do you have xfire because i am confused about how to make a door out of what i have i i needa explain.
add me yeeh? yeeyay

I don't have it on this computer, sorry. I'll do my best to find some references and guide ya through it tomorrow, but I don't know what I'll turn up... The graphics card in my laptop that had halo on it died, so I can't really access the files... But I may have some on an external drive, I just have to look.

k thanks bro just PM me when u get the chanceee

Here's my idea.
Create an looping animation scenery for your object.
Count exactly how many frames your animation takes up at a 30fps setting.
Crete another scenery that is set at that last frame, without animations.
Now, in a script, do this:

(script startup scenery-replace
(object_create_anew SCENERY1)
(sleep FRAME COUNT)
(object_destroy SCENERY1)
(object_create SCENERY2)
)

and you're done!

go on xfire this plan is crazy it just might work.!
