Elevator and Sliding door

[Limiter]

How to I make an elevator that opens only when CJ comes near it (in a sliding method like most elevators outside).

 

The elevator should proceed to move up if CJ is on ground floor, or down when CJ is on top floor. But not moving up or down if no one uses it.

 

I searched movable objects tutorial but I am not sure that it covers the guidelines that I said above, is there a tutorial that covers this specifically,

 

 

Thank you guys, you have been a helpful community. Makes modding way funner!!

You could easily wrap the code to start moving an object in a check using command 0x01A6 (IS_CHAR_IN_AREA_ON_FOOT_3D?) like this, where the coordinates are the active range of the two parts of your elevator:

 

 

01A6:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR sphere 0 in_cube_cornerA -777.827 510.0 1369.0 cornerB -797.0 494.0 1373.0 on_foot 

 

 

However, I don't know if moving an object upwards will cause a player to move along smoothly if standing on it.

Sorry, I am a modeller so I don't read codings that fast...

 

So does the code take care to move objects only when CJ use it...and....does it include sliding doors??

try the script below

the object may not move faster otherwise it won't work

 

{$CLEO .cs}:LIFT_TEST// press Backspace to spawn a51_jetdoor as lift plattform//and and put player_actor on it// lift moves upward and downward// press Backspace to remove the object//------------------------------thread 'LIFTEST' :LIFTEST_1wait 0 if   Player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)jf @LIFTEST_1 if 0AB0:   key_pressed 8 jf @LIFTEST_1 Model.Load(3095):LIFTEST_2wait 0 if   Model.Available(3095)jf @LIFTEST_2 04C4: store_coords_to 11@ 12@ 13@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.0 10.5 400.0 1@ = Object.Create(3095, 11@, 12@, 400.0)wait 1000 Actor.PutAt($PLAYER_ACTOR, 11@, 12@, 402.0)wait 1000 3@ = 0 :LIFTEST_3wait 0 if   Player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)jf @LIFTEST_8 if 8AB0:   not key_pressed 8 jf @LIFTEST_8 Object.StorePos(1@, 11@, 12@, 13@)if  3@ == 0 jf @LIFTEST_6 if  520.0 > 13@ jf @LIFTEST_5 034E: move_object 1@ to 11@ 12@ 520.5 speed 0.0 0.0 0.9 flag 0 jump @LIFTEST_3 :LIFTEST_53@ = 1 :LIFTEST_6if  3@ == 1 jf @LIFTEST_3 if  13@ > 500.5 jf @LIFTEST_7 034E: move_object 1@ to 11@ 12@ 500.0 speed 0.0 0.0 0.2 flag 0 jump @LIFTEST_3 :LIFTEST_73@ = 0 jump @LIFTEST_3 :LIFTEST_8Object.Destroy(1@)wait 1000 jump @LIFTEST_1

Why not just attach the player ot the object?

[Limiter]

Thank you expert modders, I will give this a try...

 

I noticed another point, take for example this code works. Then...

 

CJ walks to the elevator, the sliding doors open when CJ comes near. CJ enters the elevator, but the door wouldn't close while the elevator moves up because CJ is inside the elevator which in essence is putting CJ in close proximity with the doors.

 

Is there a bypass...

it switch into FPcam

it seems possible to coreect that cam view after putting in turret

set player frozen 1

wait 250

set player frozen 0

 

but this seems to be depending from pc performance or whatever

 

if you remember that i tested your surfboard

i posted that it won't work correct for me

it worked correct as i added waits at the player frozen codes

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...st&p=1059748619

 

i did it in this way in the

script:

 

04F4: put_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR into_turret_on_object 1@ offset_from_object_origin -0.5 0.0 0.2 orientation 3 both_side_angle_limit 360.0 lock_weapon 00858: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR scan_horizon_to_angle 2@ rotation_speed 300.00001: wait 0 ms 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR can_move 0 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR can_move 1 0001: wait 0 ms

it's possible without problems to script a nice elevator but that's your job

take my template and enlarge it

you must understand the simple math coding to organize the several functions in a working script

 

 

if and

13@ == 0

player is near point x,y,z

then

object_door1 move to x,y,z

object_door2 move to x,y,z

end

 

if and

13@ == 0

object_door1 is near point x,y,z

object_door2 is near point x,y,z

then

13 = 1

end

Ah, the wait thing could be resolved with the frame delay address I've used in the Stream Ini Extender. As NTA informed me, it was made to resolve cover up issues Rockstar had with physics being unable to process fast enough on high-end PC's and menu bugs which occured in III and VC.

 

They didn't fix it completely, which leaves us with this nice little problem

 

 

The wait doesn't need to be so much as 250 milleseconds, though. When the value of 0001 is anything over 0, the time is synched to the nearest time that the computer can render a frame. So if the wait is 4 milleseconds, there's still a chance that it would be 8 milleseconds until the script continues, because the computer was too slow. Eventually there's a value which all computers that can run GTASA must be able to achieve, which I'd guess to be around 50ms.

Umm, maybe using a frame delta time thingy would be more flexible?
