I know there is MOVEBACK=X, MOVEFORE=X & MOVEUP=X, but can you move an entity left / right?

if im not going wrong X = x-axis so left and right. Umm so if you make it like -10 it will move <-- and if you do 10 it will move ---> probably. Hope it helped dont know if it works

Or there could be movexaxis=x or something similar...

X in this case means a number, as in MOVEBACK=10. I'm trying to move a picture along a wall and show a safe behind it.

Checking through my long list of commands.....(from your guide incidentally)

Right,there isn't any MOVELEFT/MOVERIGHT commands, but there is FORCELEFT=X and FORCERIGHT=X.......

try those and see how they work, you might need to tweak the X value though.

I've tried FORCELEFT/RIGHT but they don't seem to do anything.

Nickydude,

I don't know if these could be clues:

PLRMOVEEAST=X move the player east by X units

PLRMOVEWEST=X move the player west by X units

PLRMOVENORTH=X move the player north by X units

PLRMOVESOUTH=X move the player south by X units

Never had any luck with them, myself. Don't know if omitting PLR might cause the entity to shift accordingly, or not.

Quote: "...I've tried FORCELEFT/RIGHT but they don't seem to do anything."


Nah. That's for impact from the left or right.

Thanks,

Seth Black

I don't want to spin the entity, it's a picture on a wall. I just want it to move to the side to reveal a safe.

Nickydude, you may want to play around with the "strafe" commands. As they are EXACTLY the entities "left" and "right".

Not sure if you'll be able to TELL the entity to always strafe left or strafe right, but it'll get you going in the right direction.

Ok, I've tried a few different commands:

strafe
moveup
rotateiy

but the entity doesn't do anything at all!! Can anyone manage to do the following:

1. Move a picture along a wall left or right when the player gets within a certain distance?
2. Have a statue spin around to face the player when he gets within a certain distance?

you must use "CHOOSESTRAFE" before you use "STRAFE"...

You mean like this



as that doesn't seem to do anything either. Is the strafe command only used on characters?

I think so, but i think you use CHOOSESTRAFE straight before STRAFE,like:

:state=1,plrdistwithin=5767:choosestrafe,strafe

...hmmmn. If scripting it doesn't pan out, why not animate the slide?

Since you want the player to have proximity to it,when it moves, why not set this up with a trigger zone, ala the collapsing balcony concept?

Just a thought. Visually, it would work.

Thanks,

Seth Black

Hey nickydude...

I was thinking that since the picture on the wall isn't going to be facing in any direction other than straight away from the wall, why not MODEL the poster so that it's "sideways"?

That way when the poster moves "forward" it will appear as though the poster is moving sideways?


If that made any sense to you let me know how it goes.

...that's a great idea. Then, you could use the standard MOVEFORE=X command.

That'd be your easiest solution, to be sure.

So there's no way to move a painting sidewards using a script?

...technically, no.

You could fudge it, and still give that illusion by
using Plystire's suggestion.

I believe that the method I suggested would probably give you the effect you're looking for, as well.

Q: How do you make platforms move horizontally, like across chasms or acid?
A: Use the "antigravplatform" in the Entity Library. You'll find in the scifi/scenery/lifts folder. You have to use
waypoints for it, else it will not move. Use the following script and the platform won’t move until the player
actually steps upon it:
;Artificial Intelligence Script
; by xplosys

;Header

desc = Wait for Player and Follow Waypoints with no rotation
(platform)

;Triggers

:state=0,plrdistwithin=20:state=1,norotate=1
:state=1,waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:state=1,waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:state=1,waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:state=1,waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

;End of Script

maybe can be used for ur situation..(quoted from tutorial in sign)

...he's only trying to move a smallish wall-mounted object. The waypoints would probably be too large, for that purpose.

Great idea, though.
