Question about control consoles

Hi, please note I'm german.
Maybe you have played the Battle-Arena 2.0 and there are control consoles, which alow you to make some things appear like at the pool. My question:
I want to make this for a space map, so you shoot at a console and then there apears a barrier, which closes the hangar. If you shoot again at it the barrier is away. I know it doesn't look good but I want it like this.
Hope you understand what I mean

open the map in ZE, place the given door inside the ship (somewhere where it can't be seen), make a animation for it (how to is in the documentation), then place your console somewhere and add to your LUA:

Code: Select all

             OnObjectKill(
    function(object, killer)
    if GetEntityName(object) == "OBJECTNAME" then
    PlayAnimation("ANIMGROUPNAME")
    end
    end
    )

replace the OBJECTNAME with the name of your console and ANIMGROUPNAME with the name of the door's animgroupname.
I just don't know how to make this the other way around again...

use "OnObjectRepair" for the other way arund, the syntax is the same
by the way, here is a topic discussing exactly what you asked for: Trigger animation on destruction of object? (FAQ)
it cant be just found by searching, its linked in the everythingyouneedthread aswell.

that is the reason for the everythingyouneedthread - it is a list of the most important problems and explanations so that you dont have to search manually for them.

Do Animations work when they only take 0.01 sec?

Bob · Post by **Bob** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:31 pm

you could take the pop transistion instead of the linear transition, but this should work, too.
why are you not making a normal doorclose anim?

i dont know normal door Animations. so this is.p the only thing i thought of as the Idea came to me. could you explain your way or give me a link?

Bob · Post by **Bob** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:17 pm

baumerindustries · Post by **baumerindustries** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:28 pm

bob meant with "normal door animation" that the doorparts move to the side like automatic doors opposed to something moving just 0.01 seconds.

i want it like this:
you shoot at the Console.
the hangar doors appears
you repair it , the door disappears.
I hide it in the capital ship while Its unused.

if you want the door simply to disappear you can "kill" it when the console is destroyed, instead of "Playanimation" you would use "KillObject("doorname)"
in order to be able to kill the door, you have to give it "destructablebuilding" as class label in the odf and a maxhealth.
