Hi!

Would you please describe the idea behind this code.
It's difficult to read and analyse the code without an idea what's the basic concept behind.
Some docu-lines within the code would help also.
:-)
You don't use time to handle the speed?

mercuryus

The idea? Not sure presisely what you mean?
I does as stated the buttons move the elevator
to the cooresonding stage position.
However...

I will document it better!



I did try using *time several different ways and all were
totally unsucessful!
The Elevator wouldn't move at all or it occured
instantly going Up or Down .

I admit I'm not the greatest scripter...
Probally something I overlooked .


*** Teutonic Darkness ***



[edit] I just went back and documented all of the
stage 6 Action/functions....
The others will be all the same principal
so I won't document them [/edit]

Quote:

Yaeh - arrays and variables for the stop-points!
That would make the script reusable!
(and more command-lines, that would make it more readable ;-))

mercuryus

@ MK_1
@ mercuryus


I'm sure your both probally correct...
However I just did what I know...
and how I know.

Its not perfect by any means ....
just thought It might at least give somebody
a starting point

The "problem" with time is, that you multiply you distances with a varying value (depending at the framerate) and you will never get the exact stoppoint (e.g obj.y=1200, but obj.y=1200.04). So you have to stop at the position, the lift is higher/lower your stop-position (depending of the direction).

The most important thing why you have to use time*speed_constant is: on you pc it looks cool - on an other the elevator maybe needs 10 times longer or 30 timer less time.

var gc_ele_speed  = 10;

define _speed, skill1;
define _destination, skill20;
define _direction, skill21;

	// set the handle
	ent_elevator=me;

		// wait for activating...
		while(my._moving==off){wait(1);}
 
		// direction (up or down?)
		my._direction=1-2*(my.z>gc_elestop[my._destination]); // go up if not my.z>my._destination (over the dest.point)
 
		// move elevator (in the direction until the stoppoint is reached)
		while((my._direction==1 && my.z<gc_elestop[my._destination]) || (my._direction==-1 && my.z>gc_elestop[my._destination])){			
			my.z+=time*gc_ele_speed*my._direction;
			wait(1);
		}
 		
		// at Stop-position 
                my.z=gc_elestop[my._destination];  // set the exact point
