gate not closing

[nRage]

Ok, i've been trying to make a gate open and close and when it's destroyed revive itself. So, i got it to open by typing -open and close by typing -close. Then i made this trigger:

gate revive 1
    Events
        Destructible - Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen> dies
    Conditions
        (Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen> is dead) Equal to True
    Actions
        Wait 70.00 seconds
        Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen>

With this trigger i had to change the close gate trigger so that the gate has to be alive to be closed, otherwise you can revive the gate by yourself which i don't want:

close gate 1
    Events
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -close as An exact match
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -close as An exact match
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -close as An exact match
    Conditions
        (Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen> is alive) Equal to True
    Actions
        Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen>

the -open to open a gate still works with or without the close and revive ,

        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -open as An exact match
    Conditions
        (Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen> is alive) Equal to True
    Actions
        Destructible - Open Elven Gate (Diagonal 1) 0002 <gen>

My problem is, when you add the condition that the gate must be alive to close, it doesn't close! It only closes when the 70 seconds are up from the revive. Is there a fix to this?

Use booleans and such for when you open or close and when the gate is destroyed.

Why? Because Open and Destroyed both consider the gate DEAD. Closing "revives" the gate.

please can you explain, i am having the same problem and dont quite understand your meaning

I don't get what you mean (my first map, don't really know much). I've made boolean comparrisons in the conditions but i can't figure out what you mean otherwise. Can you please post an example of some sort?

 

[NRinpun]

Well if you say "open" you should set a boolean variable WasOpened to True. That way, if your gate "dies" and WasOpened is equal to FALSE, you can conclude that your gate was killed by sword. If WasOpened is equal to TRUE when the gate dies, your gate was opened by command. Does this clear things up?

        Set WasOpened = True

Something like this.

 

[NRinpun]

Oh excuse me, you need to change the conditon of close gate to WasOpened equal to true or something like that. (Wishes he was at his computer and in a more comfortable typing position)

 

[nRage]

Ok, i now understand what you mean, except it's still not working. I went on variables, add new, boolean, set it to true, and then followed where to put them in your example. The variable works because if on the revive, i change it to true instead of false, it doesn't revive. I'd be willing to post the map to anyone willing to help.

 

[NRinpun]

Just mess with the conditions and the variable setting, that seems to be your issue.
