Strange message when trying to set the bomb

[Bjarne BZR]

When a player tries to set the bomb attached to a Flak88, I get a mesage saying

Code: Select all

usetrigger but failed check
failed cansee check

...in the console and nothing happens... any idea why?

If I place a trigger_use at the same spot with a setthread that prints a message, it is printed... it seems as the exploder system does not think I can see the trigger... I don't understand why...

( Maby it is relevant to tell you that the entire exploding objective is scripted into a stock map )

That is a built-in debug for the obj_dm.scr script. It should only show up if a player turns away from the trigger while he is setting it. It may be that your trigger brush is too big, and the player is too close to it. The trigger should be only as big as the bomb.

Hmm... it IS larger than the bomb, but only like 8 units or something... I'll have to experiment with this... thanx man!

Make sure there is nothing (like the bounding box of a model) between the player and the bomb
