Sorta Complex Door Question

SuperTeflon

Okay I decided this was a wee bit too complex to be put into the Newbie area... soo:

I want to make a big honkin' door that slowly opens, plays a sound, activates some particle effects, and turns a light to 'green' when opened and 'red' when closed.

So SORT of like the ns_hera door that no one ever wastes their time using, but I'm utilizing the ns2.wad cargodoor textures <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Anyways, I have both buttons triggering a multi_manager. The multi, in turns, triggers the door, several particle effects... now where I got lost. How do I have four light entities, two set to 'off' and two set to 'on' and toggle between them when teh switch (and thusly the manager) is used?

Yes, two initially off, and the other two on, each light should have a different name or they won't work.

I did that once, but got the "Too many light styles on a face" error, so... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Im not sure, but couldn't you have one set of lights with the flag "Initially Dark" set on, the others set off and then have the multimanager target them both? I remember making a door ages ago that had a light turn on for open and off for closed, but I never tried it for more than one light.

Oy, now I find out the door doesn't work at all :/

Okay now, here we go.

WHat the hell did I do wrong? The switch makes its noise and everything, but nothing happens. The switch targets the manager, the manager tells the door and sound to 'activate' after 1 second...

Should I have a name for 'global entity name'? I've never heard of that in my life.

1)
try making the door not toggle

2)
set them both to the same name - i duno why, but i find this saves me hassel in bug fixing

3)
set one to open .1 seconds after the other ie> door is 1.0 and sound is 1.1 - who will realy find .1 seconds difrence in a game any way?
