Secret Doors?

[Tripication]

SetMoveObjectState(string& asName, float afState);


Moves an object to a certain state.
asName - internal name
afState - state of the object, 0 = closed, 1 = open, values inbetween are valid too!

Taken from http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn...ons#player

Here's how I would script it:

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever1", "secretdoor");

}

void secretdoor(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if (alState == -1)
{
SetMoveObjectState("name_of_wall", 1);
}
}

Ok, i got the first bit, with the lever and the function, but i have a question or two.

if (alState == -1) - I shouldn't need to edit this line should I, and is -1 the lever when its down?

SetMoveObjectState("name_of_wall", 1); - Im using a moving bookshelf, but im leaving the wall there so that the shelf moves but the wall doesn't?


and how would i identify what direction the shelf_secret_door should move?

I thought you were just doing a secret door. Ok; With the lever, I'm not exactly sure what number is down (could be 1 or -1). You don't need to edit it. SetMoveObjectState would only work on the wall. A moving bookshelf is a different script.

I'll link you to a page that will help you with the bookshelf: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tut...cretshelfs

How do you plan on making the secret wall opening if you are using a lever to open the shelf?

The secret wall is open, its blank with nothing in it, its the static object one of the frame.

But yeh, thanks alot for that, much appreciated.
