Hi everyone
So as title say, I wish to determine "ifused field" via script.
Imagine I've 2 possible sides to go via teletrasporter. I can go to point A and B.
The problem is that I can only go to the place previewsly determine via entity properties>ifused field.

Ignore if can I set various destination points via properties>>ifused field, perhaps separate them by comas, ie: pointA, pointB, and so on.

So I can choose via script where player want to go. IE: if you want to go pointA press "a", if you want pointB then press "b", and so on.

So..



Is there something like this and maybe I had missed it ?

If not, it's a good time for considere it.

Try to use the same script.lua as both main entities, then in the entities option use that "If Used" field.
For example: for door 1 Use key? = YES, If Used? = open door 2 (of course, you must got a key in this example)
them at door 2 : Use key? = door 1, If used? = open door ...

Thanks Old Larry.
Unfortunatelly this is not exactly my point. I'll try to explaint it with an example:
Imagine scenario:
Player is in a building.
Player find an elevator.
Player can go from floor 1 to floor 3, or 2, or 4º.

How can I state this?
How can I allow the player being able to choose, wich floor he want to go?
How can I to get the elevator stopping in the desired floor?

If I only can to set one place to go, via entety properties panel>>If Used field?
Tis is the question.

I want to be able to set this value (ifused field) via script, and have the flexibility for setup varios places as destination point, not just one, via properties panel.

Right now, via properties panel I only can go to one floor with the lift, or in my case with the teletransporter.

But I want the player being able to choose wathever floor he want, as destination point.

That can be solved with multiple elevators with separate scripts of highest each, and to be spawn one by one.
Elevator 1 going to floor 1 then spawn elevator 2....something like that....

I think so, but may be easier add some new lua command to do so.
If you've a 20 floors bulding, you can not have 20 lifts.

That's sure

You would still need 20 entities to teleport to though because you would need them all named different to know which location is which if you do it via that method.

My advice is to find the co ords of each location and then move the entity before you teleport to it, that way you only need 1 target entity but you can teleport anywhere
Or simply set dummy entities as targets, move the entity you use to teleport to that dummy entity, just need to know the entity number rather than co ords then and then teleport.

I will try upload a working example tomorrow

Yeah! perhaps some decal (fingerprints ?).

I've tried your lift2,lua script with my platform, but if I set physics=yes in my platform properties panel, then the platform does do nothing. But if I set physics=no, then the script work, the platform go up, but player stay over the ground.

So I decided to try teletransport script (tele.lua). It work nice, but I only can go to one place, those setup in properties panel.

Thanks for hepl me again.

Edit: adding some pic.
