.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I wanted to blow up some barbwire with a bangalor just like on omaha. I decompiled omaha but could not get the trigger to work. The bangalor does not flash red. I could not find any tuts on this, but if you know of one could post a link?

There is a good tut here at .map on blowing things up. You may need to alter some of the level scripting to fit your needs but i believe most of the basics should be in there. If you are still having issues after using the tut let us know.

Thanks

Well I don't know of any tut's but I can give you an off the top of my head tut .

1. make a script_model and use either the models/animate/bangalore_pulsateing.tik or the models/animate/bangalore_pulsateing_ghosting.tik I recomend the models/animate/bangalore_pulsateing.tik the other one is for a suggested place to put it because it is transparent . Give it a targetname of lets say bangalore_1

2. make a script_model models/animate/bangalore.tik . Give it a targetname of bangalore_2

3. make a script_model model models/animate/barbwire_long.tik or models/animate/barbwire_tetra_post.tik . Targetname barb1

4. make a trigger_use give it a targetname of bang_trigger and give it a key of setthread and a value of bangalore_explode

5. make a animate/fx_mortar_higgins.tik targetname bangalore_exp

After you do that put the bangalores , the barbwire and the trigger where you want them to be and below the main thread after the word end put this thread like so .

main:
$bangalore_2 hide // we will show it when the bomb is set
....
....
end

bangalore_explode:
$bangalore_2 show // now we show the non pulsating bangalore
$bangalore_1 remove // remove the pulsateing one
$bangalore_2 playsound plantbomb1 // add a bomb planting sound

wait 8 // time to get away from the explosion

$bangalore_exp anim start // do the effect
$barb1 explode 500 // or use radiusdamage $barb1.origin 640 384 to do damage
$barb1 remove // remove the barbwire

wait 2 // wait a couple of seconds for the explosion to stop

$bangalore_exp remove // remove the explosion model
end

Thats about it you may want to add some sounds to it if you think you need them .

Thanks for the help Dodger, but I
just got off work and tried this out with no luck. There is one thing i was confused about, maybe two.

"make a script_model and use either the models/animate/bangalore_pulsateing.tik"
I tried this and am i actually supose to see the bangalore or does it remaing a little blue box? Because I just get this little blue box.


"make a script_model models/animate/bangalore.tik "
This was no problem, i got the actual bangalore. And that blue box that I got from the above step was placed on this bangaolore.

Last, on the trigger you said, "make a trigger_use give it a targetname of bang_trigger and give it a key of setthread"
Is "setthread" entered as one word like that?

Same thing happened before, I jsut get the solid bangalore in the actualy map, it does not flash.

Wow, i'm an idiot! Can't say what I did wrong cause its embarrasing. I still can not get it to work though I did get a lot closer. The bagalore flashes now, but one, I can't plant it, and two, it seems to be a bit dark. Almost like the there is the flashing bagalore, and the regular bagalore at the same time.

If you can see both you probably either didn't hide the normal one like I said in the tut or you didn't give it a targetname and use that targetname to hide it

This hides the normal bangalore until we need to show it .

main:
$bangalore_2 hide // we will show it when the bomb is set
....
....
end

As for the blue box when you made the script_model did you give it the key: model and value: animate/bangalore_pulsateing.tik ? You don't make a bangalore you make a script_model and as soon as you give it the model value it will look like that model not a blue box anymore

and do the same for all the other script_models

also for the trigger use , key: setthread ( one word ) Value: bangalore_explode

What that does is when the trigger is triggered it will run that thread the one called bangalore_explode

if you are useing my example tut use the same targetnames for example the pulstateing bangalore script_model give it the targetname bangalore_1

In Mohradiant use these keys and values make a script_model and press N to bring up the entity window

//--------------------------
// script_model
//--------------------------

key: targetname
value: bangalore_1

key: model
value : animate/bangalore_pulsateing.tik

//--------------------------
// script_model
//--------------------------

key : targetname
value: bangalore_2

key : model
value : animate/bangalore.tik

etc etc

Thanks for the help dodger, I have it working now. Thanks to you and tltrude.
