Opening doors with wind - The chaser - 09-27-2012
Hello everyone!
So, I was making my map and I wanted to make a scare (a door opening) what doesn't work is the force part. I don't know what the hell is wrong, I've tried a lot of things but nothing works. So, I hope someone finds the problem.
Here's the script, I only post the problematic part (Note that this is going to be used for a serious CS)
Script:
void Open_door_wind_1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_1", false, true);
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("castle_1", true);
AddTimer("", 0.5, "Door_1_timer");
}
void Door_1_timer (string &in asTimer)
{
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_whirl", "AreaOpenEffect", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("AreaOpenEffect", "scare_wind.snt", "Player", 1, true);
AddPropForce("castle_1", 0, 0, -800, "world");
}
void Open_door_wind_2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_2", false, true);
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("castle_2", true);
AddTimer("", 0.5, "Door_2_timer");
}
void Door_2_timer (string &in asTimer)
{
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_whirl", "AreaOpenEffect_1", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("AreaOpenEffect_1", "scare_wind.snt", "Player", 1, true);
AddPropForce("castle_2", -2000, 0, 0, "world");
}
I'm worried about this (and there is no map_cache, if someone thought that was the problem)

Try a force greater than 2000 (or -2000)

If it still doesn't work use an unlimited timer. Make it that when it reaches zero, use it again.

Incremental force is normally better than forcing the door open once. However, unlimited timers for this is absurd.
RE: Opening doors with wind - Vic7im - 09-28-2012
I usually open doors with impulse, rather than force
Something between 20 and 25 should do the trick, imo.

Well, I've forgot to say something: Before it worked with castle_1, but I rotated it so it was like: "Get in the room, there is something awaiting..." like an invitation. When I rotated it this way, the force stopped working. Of course, I inverted the value.
Castle_2 never worked, though. I will try Vic7im tip, maybe works.

I use:
AddPropImpulse("DOORNAME", 3, 0, 0, "World");
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_paper_blow.ps", "AreaParticleSystem_1", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_wind.snt", "mansion_5", 0, false);
It works great!
RE: Opening doors with wind - The chaser - 09-28-2012
I'm messing up with AddBodyForce (impulse didn't work). This one works. I will see if something wrong happens, then I will still be in this thread.
RE: Opening doors with wind - FlawlessHappiness - 09-28-2012
You are pushing the right way right?
RE: Opening doors with wind - The chaser - 09-28-2012
Yes, of course. That's one of the most common issues scripters have. In fact, I already have the doors working, except castle_2. It just gets a glitch and doesn't open. It seems to be different to castle_1.
