You need my Guide to mission editing for beginners from the Editors Depot.   Also read the Scripting Topics section of the command reference and snYpir's excellent How to use Objectives and init.sqs.

You could use a trigger placed at a point just prior to the gate, set Activation to whatever side you want to open (or close) the gate, group it (F2 and drag a line from unit to trigger) to the unit that willl open gate, then put this in the onActivation line:

(object NUMMER) animate ["Component02", 1]

to open or

(object NUMMER) animate ["Component02", 0]

to close the gate.

You will need to enable "Object IDs" in editor and replace the "NUMMER" (without quotes) with whatever the object ID number is on the map.

When the unit comes into the trigger zone, the gate will open or close.

ok ill try it


=Edited=
ok tryed it and got this error

I put this in a trigger assigned to my player

(148150) animate ["Component02", 1]

animate: Type Number, expected object

The map is MapFacts Nogova Island Ver1.22 island M

[Morglor9]

i believe you still have to type "object" (without quotes) in front of the number.

@ Morglor9

You are correct.

@ Hidden Death

You should get very familar with the commands for OFP. Either print out a command reference or bookmark the online version so that you will understand what each commands needs to operate correctly.

Here is the ComRef for the command "object". Just put "object" (without quotes) in the parenthesis before the actual object number like so:

(object 148150) animate ["Component02", 1]
