i know you got “shooter_mortar” but i dont know how to work whit it
i want it to be like ETBeach, where a Mortar is shot every 13 seconds…

i havent tried this entity, but i dont think its very hard.
pretty sure it works similar like other stuff.
place a shooter_mortar, target it to a info_not_null and set time/speed/damage.
i may be far off, but i somewhat dont think so.

i got it to work whit “trigger_always” but it only shoots once.
in radiant they say you need some scripting to get it to work.
how can you make a trigger_always go off every 10 seconds?

You shouldn’t need any scripting for a random shooter_mortar, if there was any “player interaction” then you would need scripting.
i think a trigger_always will constantly trigger its target, like nonstop spammage. :o What you want is a func_timer targetting your shooter_morter targetted at an info_notnull. you can set x seconds(in func_timer) to fire the mortar, just make sure it is set to start_on(checkbox).
-Say if you have 2 right next to each other, both on func_timers, They will fire at the same time at map start(when the timers start) you can set one up with a func_delay[func_timer targets func_delay which targets shooter_mortar] so they don’t fire at the same time at map start.
-func_timers can easily be triggered via script, if you want them to start “after docs stolen”, or something. You just need to have them start_off(checkbox) and use the “alertentity targetname” in the script to activate them. just give the func_timer the targetname.
