doTouch

Well. But be careful with while(1) because it makes an infinite loop, so u must quit the loop when the player does not touch the trigger anymore.

else
{
end
}
end

although if your running this, the trigger maybe triggered again while the play remains in the trigger,
though adding a variable will solve it

Code: Select all

local.player = parm.other
while (1)
	if (local.player isTouching $trigger)
	{
		if (local.player.triggered == 1)
		{
			end
		}
		else
		{
			//do you stuff
			local.player.triggered = 1
		}
	}
	else
	{
		local.player.triggered = 0
		end
	}
end

So Krane: can you tell us what you want to do with it? Just in a very non-technical way... what are you aiming for?

I'm looking for a trigger that, when a allied player is inside, starts to kill him slowly, among w/ a series of mustard gas fx (creative, no?). But if he backs off (gets out of the trigger), he stops being hurt...Inside, gas and hurt...outside, no-hurt.

Well, the trigger multiple will handle the hurt part easily. I have these in my map so if you stand too close to a fire, or fall into a vat of acid, you start to take damage.

In my script:

Code: Select all

Acidthread:
$Acid volumedamage 2
end

In my trigger brush:

Code: Select all

$targetname Acid
classname trigger_multiple
setthread Acidthread

You can also add a delay to how often the trigger fires, or increase the damage in the thread. But 2 will reduce you pretty quickly.

I have never used effects before. But I'm sure someone here could tell you how to add those lines to your thread.

If you would of said that in the first post, Krane, it wouldn't of taken two pages to answer.

Sorry, my General , but my time is very tight right now...

I'll pay 30 push-ups, sir!

[lizardkid]

also, you could do this since i've found delay isn't in seconds...

acid:
if($player istouching $acidtrigger)
{
$acid volumedamage 2
wait 1 //or whatever
}
end

once again, someone correct me if thsi is the wrong format for istouching.

[Krane]

Nice one, lizardkid !

I was trying all possible methods using while, but while makes the animations starts every frame...Here's the final working one:

Code: Select all

mustard:

local.player = parm.other 
if(local.player istouching $gases_trigger) 
{ 
$gases anim start // only runs once coz of if
$gases_trigger volumedamage 3 
wait 1 //or whatever 
} 
$gases anim stop // stops the anim when player leaves the trigger

end 

Thanks to all you guys !

Looks like I needed the 2 pages, sir !

[Krane]

Hmm, still not perfect coz the animation stopped...Here's what is working perfectly:

mustard:

local.player = parm.other
if(local.player istouching $gases_trigger && local.player.dmteam=="allies")
{
iprintln "started"
$gases anim start
$gases_trigger volumedamage 2
wait 1 //or whatever
}
while(local.player istouching $gases_trigger && local.player.dmteam=="allies")
{
wait 1
}
iprintln "stopped"
$gases anim stop


end

[lizardkid]

something gives me the impresion that it skips to the end where
$gasses anim stop

is. don't ask me why...
whcih iprintln's appear?

[Krane]

The one between "code" really skips to the end, so I added a:

while (etc,..)
{
wait 1
}

and it's not skipping anymore. The one between "quote" is working fine!

Txs again!
