hello. is it possible to detect if a moving entity hits a wall or roof of a house or something?


if(istouching$bomb==1){
iprintln "touching house"
}

try putting a trigger_multiple around the area you want to test and use istouching.

ok, wont that only detect people?

Only people will trigger it, but you can still use it as an entity to test if it is touching something.

Might help, if you tell us what you are trying to do.

well i have a bomb that falls to the floor but if it is over a roof it goes through the roof..

i want to make it detect if it hits the roof and stop mooving.

so, you want a bomb to fall through the roof, into the floor?

i wnat it not to go throuh the roof...so if it hits a roof it stops. but if their is no roof it hits the floor

What I do is do a trace from the bomb down like this

local.bottom_spot = ($airraid_speaker.origin + ( 0 0 -2048))
local.spot = trace $airraid_speaker.origin local.bottom_spot 0
local.bomb= spawn script_model "targetname" "bomb"
$bomb model "ammo/us_bomb.tik"
$bomb.origin = $airraid_speaker.origin
$bomb.angles= ( 90 0 0 )
$bomb notsolid
$bomb playsound drop_bomb
$bomb speed 800
$bomb moveto local.spot
$bomb waitmove
$bomb immediateremove


The trace gives you a spot where it hit something .

yay i love u.lol. ok...

it works great.ty:P

ok. when i try to spawn fire...it always spawns at 0 0 0. but if i change the model wiht the same code. it spawns at the origin i gave it.. is it different for fire?

spawning should be universal for the whole game, just put in
thing.origin x y z like,

$fire.origin 1 1 1

the fire just will not spawn ina coord:@

are you using

spawn models/fx/fire.tik "origin" "x y z"

???

if that's not the path then just right click for the big popup window and find the fire you want and replace fx/fire.tik with the modelname that appears in the entity properties window.

ok.grr. i just used a different fire model and it worked fine...ty anyways:P

what fire model are you trying for? i'd like to try it out. if i get it to work ill let you know.
