Sliding Gate Script help?!?!?!?

[natanbrody 10]

Hey guys I want to make a gate out of a wire fence and then I want it to slide open when a blufor "Player" is within 10m of it and then to close after he is further than 10m away... I have no idea how to do this any help would be greatly appreiciated :D

So first of all what I believe we would do is get the gate that we want (in your case the wire fence)

Secondly now given that this is one that you are placing down (unless your using one from the map) with a name

Then we would create a trigger or we could make it move when a player is within distance

WiredFence = "Land_New_WiredFence_5m_F" createVehicle (getMarkerPos "MovingFence");
if ((player distance WriedFence) < 10) then { WiredFence setPos (WiredFence modelToWorld [0,3,0]) } else { WiredFence setPos (getMarkerPos "MovingFence" select 0, getMarkerPos "MovingFence" select 1) };

Please note that I have not tested this and it will probably not work exactly how you would like it, we shall wait for a pro to come and fix it ;)

Edit

Please note that I have not incorporated that the player is BLUFOR and that I'm pretty sure that there will be no animation for when the gate is opening it will just move to the left automatically! also you may want to setDir and stuff so its not always facing north

With a land_barGate_F, (named bar1 for example)  place a repeatable presence trigger with:

                onActivation: bar1 animateSource ["Door_1_source", 1];
                onDeactivation: bar1 animateSource ["Door_1_source", 0];
