Mustard Gas Chamber

[erick]

I have this little one room house in my SP map that I want fill up with gas when triggered. Everything works fine with the gassing of the player but how do you get the gas to spread out and go throughout the room without a billion animate/adam-mustard-gas 's
I want the gas to fill the room slowly (as in dont just have gas just appear suddenly around the player)
Everything in the script works fine except the mustard gas doesnt spread out

Make the scale of the entity bigger. Setting the angle might help too.

[erick]

i know how to make the scale of the entity bigger , but what would the angle do?

[erick]

okay I made the scale of the entity from 1 to 5 and angled all of the entities in towards where the player is. I have like a wave setup effect to start the gas anims but the gas still doesnt fill the room like i want it to.
Here is what i have in my script:

goto mustard_gas

There is also a problem with the mustard gas to stop hurting the player.
Nothing happens when you hit the switch off.
Could anyone tell me how to get a good transition effect with the gas and to make it so the player doesnt get hurt anymore when you hit the switch off

Have you tried turning the trigger off in the stopgas thread?

$killgas_trigger nottriggerable

Also, you are only stopping one of the 7 $killgas entities.

If you can't get the "adam-mustard-gas.tik" to work the way you want, you can always make your own. Its not that hard to modify a tik file.

After you change it, give it a new name like "erick_mustard_gas.tik". Then put it in main\models\animate. You'll have to include the models\animate folders and new tik file in your final pk3. By the way, the "QUAKED" line at the bottom makes it show up in Radient.

Sorry I didnt reply fast.
I was gone for the weekend.
I will make the $killgas_trigger nottriggerable and try to modify the tik file.
In the tik file would you set the
randvelaxis to like 100 -100
If i wanted the model to spread more and/or put the velocity up higher?

[tltrude]

I don't really know. Make the new file and open it on your desktop. Then you can play with the numbers, save, and test it over and over.
