Doing a "fatal" brush/floor?

[tuxcayc]

Hi everyone:

My map is almost ready, but there is one thing.
The map is in the middle of a cube, but you can jump and fall to the inferior brush of the cube... and you are still alive!

Can I make that brush "fatal"? So if you fall and touch it you die?

Thanks.

sure, a little broad scale but it should work....
make a huge brush
right click go to trigger
click trigger multiple
with trigger/brush still highlighted pull up entity window (n)

key: targetname
value: bighurt

key: setthread
value: bighurt

wait: 0

in your map's .scr ( under level wait til spawn)

bighurt:
$bighurt volumedamage 100 //hurts the player
end

or

bighurt:
parm.other hurt 100
end

with settread you don't need a targetname you can use self to refer to the trigger that called the thread or in this example just hurt the player who triggered the trigger . If you use a literal targetname as in

$bighurt volumedamage 100 //hurts the player

then that thread can only be used once for $bighurt but if you used self or my example then any triggers with setthread set to bighurt will hurt the player .

You could even do

Code: Select all

bighurt:
parm.other damage self 100 self (0 0 0) (0 0 0) (0 0 0) 0 1 7 -1
end

and you'd get a correct "death message", i.e. "Tuxcayc cratered"

Why not just put a ladder in the cube?
