Door problem

[Guest]

Ok I sorry for this guys,but I read the 4 pages of prior threads and found no reference to my problem. You have proably heard this a million times but for the past 4 days its been fustrating me.

On an installation map I wish to put door in, but no matter how I set the triggers up I can not get the door doodad to disable(open) as the notes state it in staredit. I have it as follows : CONDITION- force 1 brings any unit to loc. 1. ACTION-disable doodad state for left upper level door for force 1. I have 2 seperate LOC. one in front of the door and one around the doodad.

Now I have tried this in force 1 trigs, force 2 trig and all players, i have also tried setting the forces in the action segment as well as enabling and toggling the action. But in the end I can't get the door to drop, and yes it is on the floor level and not on the substructure level (so I see that as the upper floor door).

I'm sure this is a repedive question, and I sorry to ask but I really stuck, any advise would be greatly helpful. Thank you.

sorry to reply, but here's your answer

here's what u need to check:
+make sure that the door is the correct direction
+make sure that the door's elevation is correct
+make sure that the location is exactly over the door
+make dummy conditions (just use always:disable doodad at location) to see when you're doing it correctly, then make the real condition

Also here is a very easy to follow tutorial I made on the best way to go about doing door triggers:

You'll need microsoft word, or a similar program to view it.

p.s. - always have doors open for "all players" not particular forces or players.

Thank you

Thanks Guys I got it to work now. I never thought to use an always command to test some time like that. ( makes perfect sense though, if it always active, figure out what else is wrong)I had a funny feeling it was going to be something easy too . It was my location, as he said put it right on the door! (just the door not the doodad of the door.) I'm sure you know how fustrating it can get when a trig wont respond they way you wish it to, and after numerous times of attempting you get annoyed with the whole thing Thanks again, and I also registered now. I may have some questions in the future, but for now thanks. You guys were a great Help. Thanks!!!

Sry if this shows up as another thread, just trying to say thanks.
