wicked69 Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 I have a council meeting room in my map that is only accessible from an elevator. There's a trapdoor (func_door) on the top of the elevator shaft that is set to START_OPEN so you can get in, and has a switch in the council room that triggers the door closed. Now... the purpose of this is to lock unwanted people outside the room to let us have a meeting in peace. But the trapdoor is pointless unless I can somehow get it to stay shut. Can anyone please tell me any possible way to make a door stay closed until you trigger it again to reopen.
wedge2211 Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 I have similar question...I want to make a bridge that can be toggled from an extended position to a retracted position. I tried with two func_doors and the key wait -1, which according to the useles Radiant entitiy description means the door will never return to it's original state, and targeting a button to the bridge. It didn't work. I tried messing with func_trains, still can't make it work. Anyone knwo how to do this?
Leslie Judge Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 Try this: in the func_door entity check the TOGGLE spawnflag. Then the door will not move without triggering. Excerpt from entity window's description of func_door: TOGGLE wait in both the start and end states for a trigger event
Shadriss Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 UNFORTUNATLY this cannot be done in MP. THough the toggle value is MENTIONED in the func_door writeup for MP, there is no checkbox for it. At least, not that I've seen. Now, I THINK you could get similar results using a func_train with the toggle switch checked, as I think IT has it in MP... but for a func_door? DOesnt work, so far as I was able to try.
wedge2211 Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 func_door doesn't have a toggle checkbox...I would have tried that otherwise. Func_train DOES have a toggle checkbox, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it.
Leslie Judge Posted November 9, 2002 Posted November 9, 2002 Ehh, shaddriss, you're right. I think I had to make an MP map 'cause I think in SP always.
Darth Link Posted November 10, 2002 Posted November 10, 2002 try attaching a trigger_once to it?it worked in ladder2 the door which lets you out but not back in...attach it to your func_door or whatever you have
