It works fine if the player walks upto it with 2000+ points and and works by not opening if the player has less than 2000 points. My problem is that after the player walks up to the door and fails to open it (not enough points), once I get more points, I cannot go back and open it. here is my code. Code: action doorU() { while(player==NULL) {wait(1);} while(vec_dist(player.x , my.x) >80){wait(1);} if(vec_dist(player.x , my.x) <= 80) { if(totalPoints >= 2000) { beep(); totalPoints -= 2000; ent_remove(me); } else return; } else return; }

You should use a loop that doesn't break after the player is in the distance but when the every condition to the door opening is met. Like this: Code: while(!player)wait(1); while(1) { if(vec_dist(player.x,my.x) <=80 && totalPoints >= 200)break; }

No, the function is stopped automatically if the my entity gets removed. Thus while(1) is perfectly fine. Walori's code is okay but obviously misses a "wait(1);" in the second while loop.

I didn't do that originally because I was thinking the while(1) would cause the game to slow a bit because all of the doors would be in an infinite while loop waiting for the player to get close with enough points. haha Thanks though to all three of you, I appreciate it.

So if you want to control just push event to your game Object ,and play animation by itself. development 3d game is interesting!

For all who want to know, this should work Code: #define open skill100 action points_door() { while(!player) wait(1); while(my) { if(player)if(vec_dist(player.x, my.x) < 80 && totalPoints>2000 && my.open == 0) { my.open = 1; _open_door(); //whatever } if(player)if(vec_dist(player.x, my.x) > 80 && my.open == 1) { my.open = 0; _close_door(); //whatever } wait(1); } } Last edited by rayp; 07/03/12 15:10.
