It's Me Again, desperate

Flowerpod

<div class="IPBDescription">welding point</div>I have been searching for hours, looking at the sole tutorial (and many not-so-polite answers to some desperate noobs) and decided to come here and ask.

I want to do a welding point:

The door would be locked and the trigger disabled as long as the welding hasn't been done.

How?! If someone knows where I can find an example map I'd deeply appreciate the info.

EDIT#1 Please don't point to me to snarkpit tutorial, I didn't understand it at all.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />

You need a few more entities then you have posted in your screenshot:

Working out from the weldable towards the door:

<b>func_weldable (brush entity):</b>
- target to trigger on finish: doortrigger
--flags: [welds open, not]

<b>trigger_relay (point entity):</b>
- name: doortrigger
- target: doormaster
- trigger state: on (this will activate the doormaster/multisource)

<b>multisource (this will be the locked/unlocked entity and is a point entity):</b>
- name: doormaster

<b>trigger_multiple (brush entity):</b>
- target: door
- master: doormaster

<b>func_door (brush entity):</b>
- name: door

--> When the weldable isn't welded yet, the trigger_relay is not active the same goes for the multisource. Now the trigger_multiple is testing if it is allowed to trigger the door by checking the status of the multisource. Once the multisource is active, weldable welded and trigger_relay trigger to on, the trigger_multiple will be able to trigger the door

Okay I'll try that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> Thanks for the explanation. Mind if I post your answer to modns forum as well? Since I posted my question there too

EDIT #1

TRIED AND TESTED - worked

The result then - for future reference:

Glad to be of service and the more the info spreads the better it is ^__^

Hmm...if I wanted to make a weldable button, what would be the sequence for that?

I'm thinking that the button would be locked, then, when the weldable was welded, the button would be unlocked? Is that even possible in NS?

Kouji_San

you could use 2 trigger_changetarget

1. weldable triggers the trigger_changetarget (changing the target of the button to the thing you want activated)

2. on round end (trigger_random/multimananager combo) you change the target back to empty with another trigger_changetarget

Thats how I do it...

Ok.

I have so damn much to learn that it's not even funny.
