Crate moving
2004-01-22, 11:37 AM #1
I need some help with crates that are moveable by using force push/pull. How would I do this? Can it only be done by scripting?

Never Tried it. Thanks Echoman. Did you by any chance get my e-mail i sent you. Also what is this about you can't map because you broke you JA cd.

Echo, I still need some help. I checked the force pull/push boxes, but the crate is still stationary. How will I make it move to what ever direction "force" is applied.

Well, I can map for MP because I broke the Disc 1 of JA. Because I found a SP No-CD patch for JA, I can edit for SP but I still haven't found a good patch for MP.

Anyway, I think func_static triggers an entity to move (not sure though).

Unfortunately with func_statics you need a script. A great example can be found in the kor1 sample map, where (if you remember the SP game) there is a door that needs some three correct buttons to be pressed.

Basically, you need make a crate with an origin brush (like a 16x16 units small cube brush all covered with the ugly system origin texture). Select both the crate itself and the origin somewhere inside it, and make them func_static. Then you need to place somewhere a ref_taq. Your script will later move the crate so that the origin brush will be in the same place as that ref_taq, so that's the location after the push.

Then check that flag in the func_static entity settings, and give it a usescript key with the value mymap/movescript. That's the path to the script.

Then go to the kor1 directory of the Raven sample scripts, and check button_1 script. Make your own script to follow the example.

Also, your ref_taq needs a targetname that you will use in your script. Your func_static, how ever does not, if you use the usescript key, because it assumes always the using entity to be also the affected one (as it is in this case).
