Command for HIDE/SHOW or INVISIBLE/VISIBLE brushes???

[Russell]

Hi there team!!

I'm working very hard on my first Leadwerks game. I don't have much idea about LUA and I'm learning as I work and read how the Scripts work in ENGINE.

In my first TUTORIAL map ingame, I have created a portal very similar to a Stargate to move from a map to a different one. And I have put 2 animated cilinder object/brushes for the event horizon ...

Here you can see: Crossing Stargate

Now that I have the gate created. I want to simulate that we can ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE it.

Do you know what command I should use to SHOW or HIDE the brushes?

I have tried to search for something on Google, but the LUA commands and sentences that I have found not worked for me.

Thank you very much team!!!

The brushes have scripts on them? You should be able to do something like   "self.entity:Hide()"  or   "self.entity:Show()"  Is that not working?

It works!!! It works!!

Many thanks!!

I was trying other commands like "self.hide()"  or "self.isVisible="false" etc, etc..., but they don't work!!

Thanks a lot!!!

With your help and the line code for SHOWING/HIDING entities (and many timers), i have finished my own "Galaxy Teleport System" or with Copyright name "Stargate" system. ?

This is the result of 2 days work:

Many thanks again havenphillip!!

That looks cool, man. I like how you're just instinctively creating puzzles and effects.
