(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This will create Lifts like those in My COD4 Zombieland. These will also work in COD5 and Cod6 if you find new models.

First you need to Precache the models. These should go in your weapons.gsc or rank.gsc init() thread. Or a linked level thread that doesn't have any wait statements between it and the init() thread.

    precacheModel( "com_lightbox_on" );

precacheModel( "com_junktire" );

precacheModel( "com_junktire2" );

precacheModel("bc_military_tire05_big");

MAIN LIFT THREAD Put this somewhere in your gsc.

    CrLift(pos, height)

{	lift = spawn("script_model", pos);

	lift setModel("com_junktire");

	wait .05;

	if(getDvar("mapname") == "mp_citystreets" || getDvar("mapname") == "mp_showdown" || getDvar("mapname") == "mp_backlot" || getDvar("mapname") == "mp_bloc" || getDvar("mapname") == "mp_carentan")	lift setModel("com_junktire2");

	lift.angles = (0,0,270);

	if(getDvar("mapname") == "mp_shipment")

	{	lift setModel("bc_military_tire05_big");

		lift.angles = (0,0,0);

	}

        level.yelcircle = loadfx( "misc/ui_pickup_available" );

	cglow = SpawnFx(level.yelcircle, pos);

	TriggerFX(cglow);

	wait .05;

	lift thread LiftUp(pos, height);

}

LiftUp(pos, height)	

{	level endon("GEND");

	while(1)

	{	players = level.players;

		for ( index = 0; index < players.size; index++ )

		{	player = players[index];

			if(Distance(pos, player.origin) <= 50)

			{	player setOrigin(pos);

				player thread LiftAct(pos, height);

				self playsound("weap_cobra_missle_fire");

				wait 3;

			}

			wait 0.01;

		}

		wait 1;

	}

}

LiftAct(pos, height)

{	self endon("death");

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("ZBSTART");

	self.liftz=1;

	posa = self.origin;

	fpos = posa[2] + height;

	h=0;

	for(j=1; self.origin[2] < fpos; j+=j)

	{	

		if(j > 130) j=130;

		h=h+j;

		self SetOrigin((pos) + (0,0,h));

		wait .1;

	}

	vec = anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles());

	end = (vec[0] * 160, vec[1] * 160, vec[2] * 10);

if(BulletTracePassed(so,so + end,false,self) && BulletTracePassed(soh,soh + end,false,self)) self SetOrigin(self.origin + end);

	wait .2;

	posz = self.origin;

	wait 4;

	self.liftz=0;

	if(self.origin == posz) self SetOrigin(posa);

}

Create LIFT Command line example Put this where and when you want to create a lift on a map. This is an example of one I used from Backlot.

    CrLift((1330,564,64),700);

Create Lift Command Explained - CrLift((x,y,z, location of where you want the lift),how high you want the lift to send you.);

Good Luck.

You can avoid the object going through walls using bullettraces

when are you releasing a new zombieland coz your map edits own.

yeah i guess you could. have you made one? That thread would be as complicated as it was large. I'd give someone the sacred golden cookie for the person that made that, and made it not lag the gameout.

I havent made a block that avoid walls, but I did with a swimmer, a bot, a tank or a helicopter. I think that the code is fine, just fit it with your block, be sure to put correctly the angles beetween the 2 points you are going to use in the moving carepackage:

    trace = bullettrace(block.origin+(0,0,10),block.origin+(0,0,10)+anglestoforward((block.angles)*50),false,self);

if(trace["fraction"] != 1 && trace["surfacetype"] != "default")

	block moveto(block.origin,0.3);

else

	block moveto(trace["position"],0.3);

That is cool. Definitely worthy of a golden cookie. +rep. I wish I had this when making COD4 Zombieland. You can make people fly without the noclip side effect. This should be added to my lift code at the end when it pushes you forward. To avoid ppl getting stuck in buildings, and has many other applications.

Questions.
What does trace["fraction"] return or measure? I have never heard of that before. Also for the Surfacetype, default is air I am guessing. Do you know what other surface types are there? Is the ground different from a building?

The trace fraction is measure that the game does to see if the "bullet" you throw goes through the wall or not, it can have a value beetween 1 and 0, leave it as how I gave you to detect walls, about the surfaces, yes, default is air, this are the rest:

    asphalt

bark

brick

carpet

cloth

concrete

default

dirt

flesh

foliage

glass

grass

gravel

ice

metal

mud

paper

rock

sand

snow

water

wood

Another code I thought for your mod,using the distance to an obstacle(see the differences,you would need to re edit it), PointA and PointB are the 2 points you select to make the package path:

    trace = bullettrace(block.origin+(0,0,10),pointB,false,self);

if(distance(trace["position"],block.origin)<50)

	block moveto(PointA,0.3);

else

	block moveto(PointB,0.3);

Thanks, very cool. Tested it out. Just in case you use this in WAW the surface type for air is "none" and "default" is for A Solid Trigger Radius. Your code worked well, in my tests.

I didn't want this for a moving carepackage, I wanted this to make a person fly, but not through buildings, wal, etc. although a flyable carepackage would be cool.

In the end I found this worked better for flying humans, because it would recognize placed models, which don't have surfacetypes or Friction ratings.

    if(!SightTracePassed(self GetEye(),self GetEye()+anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles())*50),false,self)) moveto...

It's still your same idea just a different function. I'll be sure to mention you if I release a patch with it. Thanks again.

ok, the bullettrace can detect the placed models too, : trace["entity"]
