Can these 2 things be made?

Hi! I'm new to mapping but I have a few questions before I start my project (well, no use starting if these can't be made).

So, is it possible to make

1) for example a ball that bounces/moves when you run to it and bounces/moves/flies when you shoot it (knockback)

2) an object (doesn't really matter what it is) that would explode when the ball hits it?

I have a hunch that those are impossible. Or am I wrong? I hope so

Thanks for any help!

Yes I think it's possible. Use a projectile (something like a grenade). It would have to be entirely scripted.

Even a grenade itself would do the trick but it doesn't move when you shoot it or "kick" it.

So I would need to do some scripthing outside map editor?

i think theres an entity like "func_fallingrock" that has alot of things like, "bounce" which is sent to the entity when its touched. mess around with that and i think it could work.

Thanks for the info! I think the biggest problem is to make the ball move (knockback) when you shoot it. Dunno how that could be done.

There is a func_pushobject that will probably work.

But how would you get push_object to react to gunfire? I think it would be possible to script the 'ball' in such a way that it bounces when it hits a player, but I don't even think it's possible to have it react to gunfire.

Well, I thought about this and I must say it's possible but it would probably be kinda weird. You would have to make triggers all around the ball. Then bind the triggers to the ball. Whenever a trigger is shot the ball rotates however far it should BUT the triggers must rotate the exact same just in a negative value. You would have to do this so that the triggers don't spin the ball over and start shooting a trigger that was meant to make the ball go another way.

Umm, if you don't get this I can try my hand at it when I get home.
