Hi,

the simplest form of a trigger is a cuboid (check the default map for 'example triggers' with the functionality you want)

You can grap that trigger and scale it to your needs by using the function "freeze transformations" (right click on the object in the scenegraph), but you have to disable the rigid body attributes to be able to scale the object and re-enable the rigid body attrbutes afterwards.

Actually you also need an object which has 'User Attributes' to activate/load objects and properties.

If you have any specfic question feel free to ask.

Regards,
Emil

Thank you

Hi,

the only thing you have to pay attention to is that triggers must be convex!
Except hat you can create any form ;)

To create a new shape you can use nearly any 3d modeling software.
But it is recommended to use a software which we support with our i3d exporter/tools.


After you have created a new shape/form/object you'll have to integrate into the map/mod and use some 'user attributes' to bring it to live.
A lot of examples are out there to get you started with that topic.


Cheers,
Emil

Ok that's help I have sketch up and a convertor but can you give me a link to a tutorial because I can't find on that would help a lot

Emil Drefers (Unknown) 18.08.2014 08:34
Hi,

nope, sorry but there is no tutorial as far as i know.

But i try to give a rough outline here:

Import your new trigger into your map and place the moving part (the door) as a child into the trigger.
Note: there can be more than one moving part

Next set the 'rigid body' type to static (your trigger should not move, right?)
+ collision
+ trigger
+ collision mask: e00000

Then add the following 'user attributes' to each of the trigger's childs (the moving parts)
- translateX
- translateY
- translateZ
- speed (optional)
- pauseDuration (optional)
All attributes should be of type 'float', but 'string' does work too.


Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Emil

Thank you so you do not need to write any script

I will give it a try
so you do not need to write any script


Emil Drefers (Unknown) 18.08.2014 16:20
Nope, the script is already integrated.

Use the following 'user attribut' (of type 'scriptcallback') in your trigger to get it loaded during startup:

SlideDoorTrigger.onCreate



Harry Scolding (Unknown) 18.08.2014 21:01
Thanks so much but just let me check so I make a door and a invisible cube then I make it staic and add

User attribut translate X,Y,Z
Speed
And pauseDuration and make them float
Scriptcallback slideDorrTrigger.onCreate



Emil Drefers (Unknown) 21.08.2014 08:29
Yes,

the cube should have the following user attribute
(scriptcallback) slideDorrTrigger.onCreate

each door should have (you can use multiple doors ;) )
(float) translateX
(float) translateY
(float) translateZ
(float) speed (optional)
(float) pauseDuration (optional)

Cheers,
Emil

Hi,

you are refering a mod, right?
In this case please try to contact the autor.
We can't give support for any mods here ...
