Problem with Explosions

in this script, i'm trying to get walls to explode
i'm using the setthread command on the triggers so that it starts up the exploding scripts-everything works even, except that when it says the bomb should have gone off-it hasn't
-the bomb removes and everything, but the walls don't blow
any ideas?

Did you set your wall as a script object with #set xx and the destroyed one with a script objective #set xx? And an fx will do good too.

Make sure you don't have a script_model (targetname exploderfire) without a model anywhere

nope, i double checked the models, but still no explosion
is the script ok?

I really don't understand why you typed an 'end' in the middle of your main thread

Add the same for the rest. If it's wrong, check the tuts on bombing, @ Nemesis' page or Bjarne.

the problem is not that the thread doesn't start, it's that after the script counts down, the bomb just doesn't explode

If you look in the file
obj_dm.scr ( In global in pak0.pk3 ) and the method
bomb_explode: you will see that the standard behaviour of calling:
Code: Select all
$bomb_targetname thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker
of an exlosion does more than just
look in the file to see how its done...
( I really dont know but this is my guess. Slap me if I'm barking up the wrong tree here... )

this isn't a bomb thinker for an obj, it's just a bomb that can be set (not defused) and it blows the wall

Did you set the correct stuff for the bomb? Give me the map, I'll take a look. Don't worry, I'm in the same mod as you.

I'll try my old bombing trick and see.
