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

drag, why are you doing this? let the old posts lie. June 1st and August 27th!!! it doesnt take a genius to figure it out!

sry I dont usually look at post dates. sry again

oh do you have it set for alphabetized? gotcha...
