func_movelinear question

[fr33m4n119]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to make an elevator with a func_movelinear entity
it's working well : i have 10 stages fully deserve by the elevator

now i'd like to add a countdown : when the elevator reaches a stage, if no stage is called during the last 30 s, send the elevator on the top to the last stage

any idea ?

Thanks !

Use a logic_timer with a 30 second refire interval. Logic_timer will start disabled and will be enabled after your func_movelinear has fully opened (aka reached its destination). If somebody presses a button, it disables the logic_timer until the func_movelinear reaches its destination again, and so on from here.

ok ok, i have still one problem
it seems like that OnFullyOpen refers only to the first floor !
so it is only working for the first floor (i have 10 floors)
how can it works for all the floors ?

func_movelinear only has outputs on the fullyopened and closed events so to trigger something in-between the top and bottom floors maybe use a trigger brush at each stop, triggered by the func_movelinear only. Use a name filter with the trigger so only the func_movelinear activates it.

You should stick a func_tracktrain and a set of path_track entities if you have more than 2 floors.

how do you do to tell the trigger_multiple to activate when the func_movelinear touch it ?
