Don't use an OPEN script for it as it's a type that has no activator, (void) was good because it set the player as the activator for pressing the switch. Now you can still use Warp for this without changing the activator, as there's a flag WARPF_MOVEPTR which will move the TID to the activator ...

Must the light have a specific tag to allow it to be moved like actors?

The light in the map IS an actor.

Okay sure, but I'm having trouble moving it still.
Any ideas why?

Thanks

Okay, the script is completely wrong. SetActivator() has no purpose here, as you're assigning activator TID "1", but in warp() function you're using TID "2". Thanks for the reply. SetActivator was there to make the light move instead of the player, because "warp" moves the activator, which in that ...

Yeah, your script type is (void), which means you're not calling the script in any way. You need to activate the script. If you want the script to run from start of the map, you have to make it OPEN instead of (void). But keep in mind such scripts run from map start. When you want to call the ...

Hey lads, I'm having trouble using the ACS function "warp" and "Thing_Move" to move a dynamic light to the player's position but I am having trouble doing so. When testing it on other actors, such as a barrel, the light moves without issue. Here's a video demonstrating my problem: https://www ...

Hi lads,
I'm trying to attach a light source to the player, but I'm having trouble.

Here's what I've Written:
Sorry if the fix is obvious, I'm still very new to scripting.

It was just how everything was organised
Regardless, I've placed the sounds into the same .wad as the map and still nothing...

Grasping at straws here, could the issue be the map and sounds not being the same PK3?

Yes, you are still making an error. Study the following link, since it seems like you don't know what you're doing. https://zdoom.org/wiki/SNDINFO The thing is, you either define the sound like this: soundname soundlump Or soundname "path to lump/in pk3" So yours Thud1 "thud1" is just wrong. If you ...

You have it in front of your eyes! Just take a look at the other sounds defined and try to find a difference. Lets check, for example, THUD2. The first line has way too many quotes... I removed the other lines just to test if quoting fixes it does. The error pointed to the first line, so I presumed ...

Please, take a look on how you should use the LocalAmbientSound() function. The first argument is a string. Strings have to be enclosed inside "double qoutes", otherwise will not work. Thanks for the reply, I'm still getting the same error regardless of double quoting. Any other suggestions?

Hi Lads, I have hit a road block, I would like to trigger a sound to play in a script but have had trouble doing so. I receive an "identifying has not been declared" error when trying to play the sound through the script when "#include SNDINFO.txt" is not included. That changes to an "Invalid ...
