Scripting Help

[Ryan 29]

Hello RAID, so I'm here to ask some help on this script. The way I have it set up is that when it's activated it will go through and pick one of the choices randomly and it works fine but what I need help with is that I want to get the brush rotations to be constant and not stop. I tried adding while(1) in different places but that didn't work out. I'm still pretty new to scripting so I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or I didn't set it up the right way for what I want it to do, anyways, any help would be appreciated! Thanks ;)

 

Here's the script: 

trap9()
{
	brush1 = getEnt("trap9","targetname");
	brush2 = getEnt("trap9.1","targetname");
	brush3 = getEnt("trap9.2","targetname");
	trigger = getEnt("trap9_trig","targetname");
	trigger waittill("trigger");
	
		x = randomInt(3);
		
		if (x == 1)
		{	
			brush1 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush2 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush3 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush2 notsolid();
			brush3 notsolid();
		}
		if (x == 2)
		{
			brush1 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush2 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush3 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush1 notsolid();
			brush3 notsolid();
		}
		if (x == 3)
		{
			brush1 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush2 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush3 rotateRoll(360,2);
			brush1 notsolid();
			brush2 notsolid();
		}
		
	trigger delete();
}

Did you meant it like this? So that it chooses a random number and then loop the one that matches?

[Ryan 29]

Yes I did, but I actually tried it like that but when the trap was activated it would freeze the game for a bit and if I remember correctly it still didn't work.

        wait( 2 );

yes it's rotatedone

[Ryan 29]

Thanks for the help Bear, but unfortunately it didn't work. The brushes wouldn't rotate at all or become not solid. 

 

Edit: I'm stupid, I forgot to rethread the trap :facepalm: Works, thanks alot :)
