Door ring and open

Door ring and open

I have a question on how to make a unit open the door by the owner of this unit chat messageing(let say it's wrote like that) something like, a unit get near a door, the owner of it type open seasam and the door open.

Ok heres what i'd do i would make 3 seperate triggers
first one would go like this

Trigger:1
Event: A unit enters a Gate region
Condition: Triggering unit is equal to (your unit)
Action: turn on trigger (the next trigger im going to list)

Trigger:2
Event: Player- Player red types Open Sesame as an exact match
Condition:Unit-Triggering unit is equal to entering unit
Action: Detructible- Open (select the gate you want to open here)
Action:Wait 5 secs
Action:Close (your gate)

Trigger:3
Event: A unit leaves a region
Condition:Unit- Triggering units is equal to (your unit)
Action:turn off trigger (the last trigger i listed)

make sure you put the region near your gate
hope this helps and make sure Trigger # 2 is turned off at itilization hope dat helps

NO NO NO NO! Do it like this:

(forget the region trigger)

Events
- Player - Player 1[Red] types Open Seasam as an exact match
Conditions
- Boolean - [Gate Region] contains [Unit owned by Player 1[Red]] equal to True
Actions
- Destructible - Open [Gate]


Optional trigger:

Events
- Unit - Unit owned by Player 1[Red] leaves [Gatye Region]
Conditions
- Boolean - [Gate Region] contains [Unit owned by Player 1[Red]] equal to False
Actions
- Destructible - Close [Gate]

year, I would pick the second solution (Seb_Boss_ es)....
and maybe you could ad a Timer insted of the second trigger... so after 15 or 20 sec the door closes automaticaly!

Well that nice if you only have a few doors but if you have like 100 it's so longer so is there a way that i can do without selecting door as a region?


And There is no unit owned by player on the unit selection of the trigger.

You might do a 'pick every door' event (dunno if there is a 'doodadgroup' or whether you have to put them into an array and run through that)

myRegion = convert (Position of (CurrentDoor) + x radius) to region
if unit is in region -> make the door stay open
else -> make it close

i hope this helps, but for all i know, there is no easier solution...

PS:
you may do the doors as 'units' giving them the 'shop' ability -> now anyone might use all it's abilities
-> give it bearfrom -> morph to an alternate from (open, no collision) for some time

that might do the trick as well -> but you need to take a little care of them beeing a unit and no longer a doodad now... maybe that courses some minor issues ^^ but i don' belive it does.

... hm... but the litle problem is, NOT every door has a "closing" animation!!!

if you are working on a "Sci-Fi" map you can use my Door... it has a all anims which are needed!!!
