Exploding Barrels

in game where you shoot barrel and it explodes... how would i get that? i have tried func->barrel almost certain it woudn't work without FX or scripting (and i was right), so i have two questions, kinda linked sort-of:

can someone explain to me how the right-click 'fx' works. if i put this in radiant, it wont do anyhting i presume. i need to script right? this goes for water dripping, explosions etc.

also, sorta the same as above, but percifically about the barrel. how would i script / FX a barrel?

cheers,

Make your brush a func>barrel and put these key/values:

key:barreltype
value:gas

The explosion/smoke entities are all different. Some can be set off by putting this line in your script.

$myexplosion anim start

But for some you have to first stop the animation in prespawn.

$myexplosion anim stop // or idle

The animation names can be seen, for an entity, by hitting key N and clicking on the Anim: +- buttons. But, you should also study the tik file of what you want to use--some will say "start on".

By the way, you can download prefab func_barrels from Nemisis' site.

I wouldnt use exploding barrels, its a hollywood thing, things dont explode like that from a bullet, maybe gas tho.

the barrels ive got take a few shots to explode... and

1. i think a thin barrel full of fuel would explode

2. its fun to kill groups of soldiers hiding behind the barrels, lot more fun than ur avarage SP killing anyhows

lol i agree M4rine, to kill a bunch of ppl hiding behind some unstable barrels of gas is quite fun
