Two flakks and no explosions....help please

[Waylander76]

hi all

I've used the script from the Hunt to spawn a flak88 to one of 4 random locations.
I also want a flak88 in a fixed location.

The first flak is copied directly from the hunt as is the script.
The second flakk is set up with different targetnames as per the
turorial on this site.

It's all set up in radiant and all works as it should apart from setting the
bombs and the guns exploding.

I'm not a scripter and I have a *very limited* understanding of what the
Hunt script does and how it does it.

No matter what I've tried I can't get both bombs on both flaks to work.

If i remove the scripting relating to the 2nd flak the first one works correctly,
the bomb can be set, the timer counts down, the bomb explodes and a destroyed flakk is left behind.

When I put anything in the script relating to the second flakk nothing works.

How do I modify the script so I can have the randomly spawning gun and the static flak88 as bombable objectives??

Thanks in advance for any help

Best bet would be post your script, Then we could see more of what the problem might be

[Waylander76]

Here it is, was at work earlier so couldn't post it
If i keep the lines commented "ADDED BY ME" then the randomly
located flak doesn't work but the fixed location flak does.

If I remove them then the randomly located flak spawns randomly
but the bomb can't be set and the fixed
location flak doesn't.

I suspect that the random flak doesn't work because I have changed
the angle it faces when it spawns.

Now I know i'm doing something wrong but i have no idea what!
Any suggestions/corrections welcomed!

ooops...the above *does* work!
When I rotated the flak the bomb couldn't be set as it was inside a clip brush
so the player couldn't get to the trigger, moving the bomb and trigger fixed it

[Green Beret]

Well, Maybe someone else will have this same problem and know how to fix it, no worries
