How to make an EXPLOSION?

(TNCK) #1

I am blowing up a tank in the map I am working on.

I have a 2nd tank shooting the first tank from behind. As it works now, the first tank vanishes exactly the way I want it to, and there is enough damage done in the immediate area from the “shrapnel”.

What I am trying to do is make an explosion. By explosion I mean a big ball of fire roughly the magnitude of 5 or 6 panzer explosions.

If anybody has any ideas about how to create such a blast, please let me know.

Thanks again,
:clap:

use a “target_effect”

Or several. Maybe also some func_debris, if you can work out how to use it.

Theoritically it would be possible to create an explosion with shaders. But this would require you to a) create some textures and b) write a correct shader. The textures would be easy, but the shaders may not be.

Not sure what else to tell ya. -I wouldn’t know how to write a shader for this effect.

I went with the target_effect.

I think I set up about 6 of them using the TNT spawnflags… makes a nice big boom and a whole lotta fire. :chef:

Thanks for the help.

hi,

How to start this big boom from script.

An aside, not really related to the mapping part but:

If you are blowing up a tank you probably want to leave some large brushes behind. A tank usually weighs 50 tonnes or more, so even if you blow one up with another tank, there will be quite a lot of it left.

I have tank which damage big gates.
That’s part of my script…

I think you are looking for this line" alertentity effect_1 "
for example if you have created a target_effect entity with the key:scriptname and the value:effect_1
