Here´s the situation:

In a room a want a square where Lara steps on. When she steps on that square, a door opens in another room (no switches here, just the trigger square). I want a fixed camera to show the door opening for 3 seconds. And I want the door to stay open for 20 seconds only. I´ve seen this in many official tomb raider levels. But I cannot do it!

ps - damnd special triggers!!!

You must use a timed trigger and a let me explain


Put the camera and camera target as you like to show the door when triggered.

Trigger the camera and Camera target on the square where lara walks over it.

Select the door and open the trigger window menu. And ad 20 in timer field ( press enter when typed 20 in it) Now press ok and put the trigger on the same square where the camera and target trigger is

Effect:

Lara walks over the square, the camera shows the door, the door opens for 20sec. And voila,

Note:

Adding a negative number in the field will work the other way. for example

-20 = the door will OPENS AFTER 20 sec

20 = the doors opens and CLOSES after 20 sec

hope it helps

Thanks Yasin, I´ll try that now.

I know there are some doors which don´t work timed. I´m using Door Type 3 from the Karnak WAD. Does anyone know about this particular door?

As far as i know, all doors work on timers. I checked the Karnak wad and its a normal door like any other, it should work

for the camera, if you want that remains still for 3 seconds, use a FLYBY camera with:

0, 6, 8 buttons pressed: and in the time field write: 1000.

Thanks Driber for the project. I´ve analysed it today. Guess your system will work, gonna try it tomorrow. I was afraid of overlapping special triggers, since the door requires a trigger with 25, and the camera a trigger with 3 for the timer values.

Thanks psiko, I´ll try that too. Since I´m planning to do a timed door with a simultaneous fly by. Heavy trigger for the door.

Yasin, I´ve tried your idea but it did not work at first, what do you mean about placing the door trigger(s) under the camera and camera target? It´s a fixed camera and it doesn´t seem to activate a heavy triiger for the door.

This is what i meant,


Choose the camera and press "o" to pop up obc camera menu, push the button 14,
14 enables to camera to activate heavy triggers if he stands/passes over these. As you can see i putted the heavy trigger for the door under the camera using timer 20,

the trigger in front of lara is for the camera and camera target. Use timer 3 when putting the camera trigger.

Hope this makes it clearer, altough you managed this i think
