Exploding barrels instead of Tltrude's popup boomcrates ?

[Kalti]

I've added exploding barrels to my Venice map and I would like to respawn them after a given time but only when the one at that specific location has been destroyed.

Tltrude's Thread for spawning explosive crates in stock maps has convinced me to try and use that setup... but I have no idea how to let the script determine wheter or not the barrel at that spot is destroyed.

this should work

Code: Select all

if($barrel isalive)
{
// dadadadadadadada
}

isalive is really meaning, in existance.

Far as I know, you can't move a func_barrel--not sure if you can even spawn one. My exploding crate thread uses the indicrate model, and there is no model for barrels.

So, your barrels will have to be script_objects that are already in the map. You can use "hide" and "show" to make them vanish and come back. But, the rest of the crate thread should work for the explosions and stuff.

it seems easy to me, make your barrel, make it a script_object, open your .mp file with Notepad, find the barrel, copy it's sizes, and spawn it at xyz with setsize ... ... ... .. ... ..

i thought all entities could move as well :S jsut not brushes.

Yeah probably you could just do:

Code: Select all

local.barrel_pos = $mybarrel.origin
local.barrel_bmodel = $mybarrel.brushmodel // bsp brush ref

local.barrel =$mybarrel
while(1)
{
  local.barrel waittill death

  wait 5.0

  // make new barrel
  local.barrel = spawn BarrelObject origin local.barrel_pos model local.barrel_bmodel
}

That is cool, jv_map! That means there only has to be one real barrel, somewhere in the map, and more barrels can be spawned using it.

Of course, they are not exploding barrels--just the brushes.

hes not script spawning guys a func_barrel outta nowhere.. he'll map it.

He has a barrel, he wants it to respawn. can only be done via script. jv gave him the script.
