I'm looking to have a lever that, when toggled, causes a platform to move up or down (depending on which last state it ended at). Does anyone know how to pull this off simply and/or have some example I can reference? Are there any platforms that work like this in 3.3.5?
Where I'm at so far:
- I have a gameobject/template for a platform with TransportAnimation records with the sequenceID references for Open/Opened/Closed/Close (and stand as a fallthrough). This works fine automatically as-is. (currently it's a type 11)
- I have a gameobject+template for a lever, which has animations for the Open/Opened/Close/Closed animations. It's a button and state changes fine (type 1).
It looks like this is done via smart_scripts, but I haven't been able to get this working at all yet. Maybe I'm going the wrong way. Any advice?

I think you're grand up until you tried to this with SmartAI.
If you made a simple gobject script that hooked use, found the nearby object/transport, and enabled movement, it should progress to the next point.

If I'm following right, you're suggesting making a hook script that responds to the OnGameObjectStateChanged? I was hoping to avoid that since it would need to be done on a platform-by-platform basis, but if that's the way to go... so be it. Thanks!

Why would it need to be done per platform?

I was thinking you were going along the lines of GameObjectScript, and attach one per-platform responding to link to the respective toggle. Right?

Or are you thinking the same script on all, and somewhere (allgameobjectscript?) that it does a 'search for nearest' and then trigger that?

Right now, it's feeling like just making an AllGameObjectScript and then doing a switch/case on the game object ID and then triggering a respective platform state change (the one that links to it)

There are 3 platforms somewhat near in an area for example, so probably having an explicit switch->platform relationship is in order. Though, they should still be spaced far enough apart that 'nearest' would likely grab the appropriate transport.

I was REALLY hoping that a record in the smart_scripts SQL table would have been enough. It kinda-sorta looks like it's made for this. But I haven't successfully set one up yet, and I'm not sure if it'll work with type 11 game objects.
