Can health for func_explosive be set in the .SCRIPT file?

(Ifurita) #1

I have a func_explosive with a health of 150, but I’d like to have the flexibility to make it a dyno-only destructible if desired. Can you set the health value in the .script in the same way the constructible class is set in the .script?

The only thing I’ve found is:


constructible_health      <int:health>

But I think it can only be used with constructibles.

Actually you might want to try that setting with your func_explosive. If I remember correctly, I saw someone use it that way before.

hmmmm

Would I have to delete the key-pair in the entity or would the script override that?

I’ll try health = 0 in my script

Wow, after a quick glance at the code, it appears that all of the constructible stats work on func_explosives.
As for the health, I think whatever you set the func_explosive’s health to in the map will be overwritten by the script.

EDIT: However, if you want the func_explosive to take damage do NOT set the health to zero in the map.

Hmmm, it appears that it can take all values > 0. You will error out if you set construcible_health = 0

Soooooo close

Why don’t you just setup two func_explosives and disable and/or remove the one you don’t want when the event comes time to be triggered?

yeah, I could do that too. Just thought there would be an easier way to do it. <---- lazy

What about using:


setdamagable <targetname> <0|1>

Theoretically, it should work.

(Ifurita) #10

nope, that didn’t work. The funny thing, is if I assign a constructible_class value to my func_explosive in my script, I get some odd results, like it requires 2 grenades or the grenades have to be placed exactly right.

if the constructible_health doesnt work a func_destructible, i guess you could always make a func_constructible over the func_destructible. Make the func_constructible out of clips, give health 0 to the func_destructible, and in the death of the func_constructible you do an “alertentity” (or is it kill?) of your func_destructible! That way you get the debris, the noise, and even a cm icon if you want!
