+---- Thread: [SCRIPT] can someone explain me this? (/thread-30134.html)
can someone explain me this? - NotASkrub - 06-18-2015
Hi, I am DefinitelyNotASkrub, and I'm here to ask you this:
Is there a way, that I can script the following:
I have a room with mansion base wall default02.
I want to be able to change that wall with a script to a door_way, door_frame and level door.. Is there any way to do this?
If you need pictures to understand it, I can make them and show them to you ;d

So you want to change a wall, into a Doorway, doorframe and door...
I don't think that's possible.
Since the wall is a Static_Object.
Best way to do this, is change the static objects into Entities.
(I really don't know how for now...)
Be creative with those kinda things
I just made a ground, that moves up and down. so It kinda works like a mini elevator.
And for the scripting, if You changed them into entities (door way and door frame and the wall)
Then simply use the SetEntityActive

I have a video on nearly this exact scenario. I'm not sure if LevelDoors can be enabled and disabled though, so you might need to create a "dummy" LevelDoor entity and enable a script area over it which has an interaction callback enabled, which should trigger a ChangeMap event.

To change something into entity:
1. Open modeleditor
2. From menu: import a mesh.
3. You'll have a model appear. Now you need to add a body. Body is a thing stops player and objects from going through the model, so you need to cover it all. That is done by creating a block box- pink thingy button on the left. Add as many as you need, shape and position them, mark them by clicking shift+left mouse button and click 'create body'. Now it's a one piece and you can adjust some things on the right.
4. Most important part. Click on settings>user defined variables. Here choose type:object and then subtype static.
5. Make sure to save the file with a different name and as an .ent file, or else you can screw up big time.
6. Pretty easy, ay ? Now you can use the file as an entity<=>deactivate and activate it when necessary
EDIT: Crap. Mudbill outran me when I was writing D:

They definitely can!
I'm pretty sure the only entity type that cannot be disabled is 'StaticProp'
RE: can someone explain me this? - Darkfire - 06-18-2015
Yup. Almost every entity can be deactivated.

But when I got home, I saw that it can't be done, and so I came here..
