Hi Folks,
Wonder if anyone can help:-
The player needs to rise up slowly (see script below), but it dosen't! I have tried replacing the 'z' with 'x' and 'y', and the player moves just fine. I have even made the 'height' values negative, and the player drops throught the floor as it should. BUT when I return the scrip to raise the player, it just bobs up and down a little!!! no where near the height it should go to.

Any ideas would be most welome.

The script:-


entity* ladder;

function climbing()
{
while(plbiped01_entity.z<400)
{
plbiped01_entity.z+=1*time;
wait(1);
}}


action climb
{
ladder=me;
my.enable_click=on;
my.event=climbing;
}

Your code look correct, so my best guess is that you need to
disable the players "gravity" in the climbing function, and re-enable
when he's done.

Thanks EvilSOB for your reply. I have looked through the manual for 'gravity', but found nothing to do with C-Script, only LC.
However, I have solved the problem by placing an invisible wmb block at the foot of ladder on which the player must stand in order to trigger the lift op.(added it to the 'lift' code) Works OK.!
Now I must code for going up the ladder a step at a time, it's a little more real than just 'shooting up'. BUT, I understand that 'goto loops' are not acceptable any more, according to the latest manual - what say you?
Many thanks for your help.

GOTO is evil ... more evil than me!

Look at the manual for "while()" loops and you'll see how it can
be like a goto loops but cleaner...
If you need more help, just ask...


Another thing, with the gravity, it aint going to be in the manual,
as I see you are using the templates.
Try putting a post in the templates section about the gravity issue.
Someone there should be able to help.

Thanks EvilSOB for your reply and help. Am now using 'continue' instead of 'goto' - after a lot of fidling about with the'{}' !!! Have asked the question in 'templates' about gravity, let's see if I get lucky.
