Im trying to make animated doors but I cant get the lua right:

These are zeroeditor animations not XSI animated doors

What would I put for the [whatever callbacks you want] part of the script?

I think you can get rid of those lines completely, unless you want some sort of parameter for the door.

You couly try making animated doors a different way, using XSI.

FragMe!'s Door Tutorial for XSI

EDIT:
Also, as far as I know, you need to replace

Code: Select all

[whatever callbacks you want]
with some actaul CallBacks. Could be wrong though...

Well yes I know that but i dont know what callbacks to put in or even what callbacks are

And I would use that tutorial if I had full XSI which I dont

Could try this:
Hidden/Spoiler:
ActivateRegion("trigger")
testfunction = OnEnterRegion(
function(region, player)
PlayAnimationFromTo("doorlow",0,1.2)
PauseAnimation("doorlow")
end,
"trigger"
)

ActivateRegion("trigger")
testfunction = OnLeaveRegion(
function(region, player)
PlayAnimationFromTo("doorlow",1.2,2.4)
RewindAnimation("doorlow")
PauseAnimation("doorlow")
end,
"trigger"
)
(Removed an extra end since the callback wasn't used)
I'm not really even good at LUA, just recently got into practising it over the last couple of months.

You need to read the "scripting_system.doc" file in the documentation. It explains what callbacks are and how to use them.

Also you need to not make up lua functions (OnLeaveRegion doesn't exist).

Yes it does. The very doc you directed me to listed LeaveRegion and EnterRegion and it didnt really explain callbacks for EnterRegion and it didnt make sense to me I read all the docs to do with lua and procedural anims and I cant get the lua right for it still

Whoops, you're right. Maybe I could do with rereading the doc.

Anyway, my terminology was probably unclear. Assuming you want everything that enters that region to trigger the door, you don't need the "if" statement at all, and your function could look like this:

Code: Select all

ActivateRegion("trigger")
testfunction = OnEnterRegion(
function(region, player)
PlayAnimationFromTo("doorlow",0,1.2)
PauseAnimation("doorlow")
end,
"trigger"
)
I'm not sure exactly what your ZE animations do, so changing the PlayAnimation (etc.) will be dependent on that.

Is my lua right though, it doesnt get munge errors but its still not working

Your blue code needs to be inside the ScriptPostLoad() function. Meaning, move it above the end. At its current location, it is being run when the game loads your lua file. All the files used by a map are loaded before the map starts. The map script is loaded before the ActivateRegion function is loaded, so that is why you are getting the error. It cannot find that function. You want your map code to run after the map starts.
