How to place a invisible wall in the editor

[Crimson Mage 2]

I need help with placing down invisible walls in a mission. How do you place them? I still want it to have collisions.

this hideObject true;

this enableSimulation false;

They become invisible but the player doesn't collide with them. I am trying to keep the player in a certain area.

If you really really need a physical blocker then there is one (or two) in the helper section of empty objects in eden but...

If you wish to keep players in an area I recommend using a trigger instead. Physical blockers is so not arma. ;)

1. Place trigger over area, name it 'something'

2. Set it to anybody, condition: !(player in thisList) onAct: hint "Get back here you slug!"; [] spawn { sleep 5; if !(player in list something) then { player setDamage 1;}; };

3. Profit

There's an object called invisible wall somewhere in the editor, but it's hardly the size of a razorwire barricade.

Late to the game, but going to borrow your script there, Mrcurry. Thanks!

 

EDIT: Tried doing it, got an error. "On Activation: Type Script, expect Nothing"

My bad, forgot to handle the return. Try this: hint "Get back here you slug!"; 0 = [] spawn { sleep 5; if !(player in list something) then { player setDamage 1;}; };

Oh wow, that's some good dedication mrcurry! Surprised to see an answer given how old this thread was.

 

Cheers to you, man, will try it tomorrow!

Well it didn't give me an error, but the way I'm using it something failed and I'm a scripting newb so I may as well ask if you know what I did wrong.

 

I made TWO zones, labelled RPlayArea and BPlayArea (for Red and Blue forces) -- I'm trying to do a small skirmish map where both sides have a zone they need to stay within while fighting.

 

Zones are both 300x300

 

[This is where I think I screwed up somewhere] I have activation set to BlueFor on the BPlayArea trigger and OpFor for the RPlayArea, so I ASSUMED it would mean that it'd only watch for the correct team before trying to activate.

 

otherwise Condition remains:     !(player in thislist)

 

but, Activation:     hint "You have 10 seconds to return to play zone!"; 0 = [] spawn { sleep 10; if !(player in list BPlayArea) then { player setDamage 1;}; };

(and RPlayArea for the other trigger zone).

 

When I go Test Singleplayer it immediately gives me my warning and then kills me after 10 seconds.

 

Other thing to note, though I don't know if it's relevent because again, newbie, is that I have AI spawning in on the character slots for now. I also plan on having NPCs doing their own thing in the town this takes place in fighting a little AI war in the middle while the players do their thing against each other.
