How do i disable and re-enable my transporter objects?

Hi, I modified the transporter codes to work when I repair an object instead of entering a region and now I want to know how to disable and re-enable the transporting ability on the killing and repairing of an object. Here is the code that I have created....
Code: Select all
OnObjectRepair(
function(object,repairer)
if GetEntityName(object) == "trans_panel_7" then
MoveEntityToNode(repairer,"trans_node_7")
KillObject("trans_panel_7")
end
end
)
I'm curious as to whether I can remove the transporter objects when the object "computer" is destroyed and then re-place the transporter objects when the computer is repaired or disable transporting when the computer is destroyed by using some other method.

you can respawn an object after youve killed it with the command "RespawnObject(objectname)".

Does "KillObject" and "RespawnObject" work on objects like props?

Off-topic: Is there a line that can remove a prop in the LUA?

OK, I was asking about a line that can remove classlabel = prop objects, but I'll just use destructable building and hide the health bar.

yeah, thats how you gotta do it.
here is an odf for such a building, courtesy of pinguin
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "destructablebuilding"
GeometryName = "gt1_build_fencebig_01.msh"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "gt1_build_fencebig_01"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"
IsNotTargetableByPlayer = "1"
HideHealthBar = "1"
MaxHealth = "99999999999"
AddHealth = "99999999999"

I think we're getting closer to the answer. Now I just need code to make sure the object
1. doesn't show up at the start of the game
2. appears on an objects destruction
and
3.dissapears on object destrucion
thanks for the info so far

excuse me, but that sounds like you want us to write the code for you?!
you already got all the function you need. if you write the write the kill-line in scriptpostload without any event it will be executed on the startup of the map.
