Hey everyobdy! I just made this script, it is made to keep an object active for X seconds. So in theory you should be able to keep a door open for a certain a mount of time... and can someone please test it? i am unable to use FPSC right now...

Here it is! Just substitute the " " with a timer (1000= 1 second)
**Note: i purposfully made this script for switches and triggers!

"activated" is not an action. Activation actions are "activate" (For the entity using the script), "activatetarget" (For the entity's target), and "activateifused" (For the entity's IfUsed entity)


So, what exactly does this do? I see that it's supposed to run a timer when it gets activated, and then apparently deactivate itslef after a certain amount of time....

But what purpose does this serve? All of this will be invisible to the player.


Perhaps include instructions on how to implement this into an existing script, such as a door?


The one and only,

Then how about if i change the code to look like this? Then will it work?



If it does... this is the first real piece of code i've created!

Sorry for the double post, but any clues on how i could implement this into a door script? I would most likely use it on a remote door. The purpose of this script is to set a timer for how long a door stays open, which means the player only has a certain amount of time to get through it.

Plus i think i foigured out how i could do this:


Then i could just set the if used property in a trigger zone or switch for the door, which then follows the script to open and start a timer, that when it reaches X, it will auto close.

Man i am a noob at scripting ...
