Hi!
I am not sure, but I think you can use a func_platform (or whatever they are called).
Check out EB’s tutorials (the pk3 files). You will find them here:
http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=11692
One of the tutorials has a func_platform in it.

dont want to be offensive… however, be honest, did you ever read the comments that are shown in the entity window?

there, you can find useful hints stated like:
“height” amplitude of bob (32 default)

well at most of the objects he never gives me info in the entilty window

About the explosion: What should start the explosion? A man walking into a room? Or a man touching a button? Or what do you have in mind?

explosive object or a texture
or press a button

(Loffy) #10

Press a button, and it will start the explosion?
OK, there are many ways to do that. One simple way is to create a func_door that triggers a func_explosive. But make the door really small, the size of a button.
The player will walk up to the “door” and see the hand-symbol. The player will think it is a button and use it as a button. When he or she uses the button, there will be an explosion.

PS. Here is a great place for tutorials and sample maps:

you can use func_button instead of func_door

its not in radiant ET but you can add it

look for ==> http://user.tninet.se/~fzo823r/rtcw_ent_in_et_beta2.pk3 (its a file that contains the new entities together with the info for installing them)

its better to use a func_button then a func_door

and for the mover i would use path_corner_2 and script the floor or platform or whatever to go to the path_corner_2 (gotomarker …) if the func_button is triggered
