ET -Shooter (Mortar)

(mortis) #41

This may be relevant:

Make a shooter_mortar, and give it a scriptname and targetname.
Setup your spawnflags appropriately…

Now just add this code whereever you want it to fire:

alertentity targetname (where targetname is the name of your entity).

From here: http://logicgamers.com/loungev2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3237&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Skybox is a problem with mortars:

Try putting the mortar and the impact at the same origin (or else make a tracemap):

No scripting needed:

Well it would be nice to figure out how.

(Darkix) #43

None of those worked. MY ceiling is high enough, it’s not that. I put them on the same origin, not that. Did the one with no scripting, didn’t work.

Going to try the scripting one now, but it doesn’t look like it’ll work.

(Darkix) #44

None worked, so I tried shooter_rocket instead, and it worked good. But, the panzer tube falls down too. Is there a way I can remove that so it looks like a rocket from the sky?

WAIT

working on it…

EDIT: ok saw your stuggling, I thought hmm… shouldn’t be too hard so I have quickly made this test map:

Copy and paste that into notepad and save it as <namehere>.map

it contains 2 examples, 1 were player player walks onto a trigger to launch a mortar and 1 which is automatically fired every second.

Some things you may have done wrong:
-The info_notnull is the peak of the mortar, not it’s destination (unless you fire it straight down)
-The func_timer needs spawnflag start_on, otherwise it doesn’t work

Btw if you want to randomize it then add a longer wait value :smiley: and add a random value. But this is explained in GTK

-------- KEYS --------
wait : Base time between triggering all targets, default is 1
random : Wait variance, default is 0
-------- SPAWNFLAGS --------
START_ON : Starts enabled
-------- NOTES --------
This should be renamed trigger_timer…
Repeatedly fires its targets.
Can be turned on or off by using.
So, the basic time between firing is a random time between (wait - random) and (wait + random)

“-The info_notnull is the peak of the mortar, not it’s destination (unless you fire it straight down)”

That’s what I had wrong. I put it as the destination. Everything works perfectly in this map, thank you A LOT!
