Activator sound and animation.

[Spudscorner]

I am in the middle of making a mod that requires a couple of activators. I am using the rock switch, which is the wooden handle that turns, and I have tried the push blocks from the ayleid ruins and they have the same problem. I don't get the animation or the sound effect when they are activated. The handle is supposed to turn or the blocks are supposed to go up and down. I get none of this and I was wondering if I have to do something special when adding them to a mod or if there is just some weird glitch that I have going on my end.

The easiest answer is usually found by looking at how they are used in game. Sounds and movement can be scripted.

If you look at the various levers in the game, you'll notice most of the scripts use the "playgroup" command, which from what I can tell starts the animation sequences. I personallly haven't used them so I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Is there anything specific that I would look for?

 

Never mind I didn't see Mezlos reply, I forgot to refresh. I'll look for that.

Hey there again :blush:

 

Would I add something like this to the script that you already made for me aaaDoorActivator

 

ref mySelf

begin onActivate

if busy == 0
	if open == 0
		set mySelf to GetSelf
		playgroup forward 1
		mySelf.pme REHE
		mySelf.pms effectRestore
		set open to 1
		set next to 1
		set timer to 2
	else
		playgroup backward 1
		set open to 0
		set next to 1
		set timer to 0.5
	endif
	set busy to 1
endif

end

I updated the test mod. All I had to add was "playgroup forward 1" to the activator script to get the animation and sound to work.
