hi,
i got a fire and its smoke in my map, but the smoke doesn’t escape upwards (like if there is some kind of wind). I put the both 2 entities one on the other, and link them with “targetname: fire target: smoke” and “targetname: smoke target:fire”.
I see something strange when i separate them a little, the smoke escape upwards but not on my fire because smoke entity is not right on the fire.
Can someone know how to solve this plz
You could position an “info_notnull” (or an “info_null” not sure) above the “target_smoke”.
“info_notnull”:
key: targetname
value: smoketarget
“target_smoke”:
key: target
value: smoketarget
if my smoke doesn’t target the fire (it’s a model in fire and it can be destroy), when my fire desepeare will my smoke desepeare too?
If your fire entity can be detroyed then having it target your smoke entity should be enough to turn the smoke off (assuming it started ‘on’) when the fire entity dies. - I think.
But I suggest you use your map’s .script to control these events, rather than messing around with an entity chain.
The thing a smoke entity targets will be the direction that the smoke goes. Nothing else.
If the fire gets destroyed you have to call a script sequence that ends the smoke.
Not sure if this is done with setstate invisible or alertentity.
Try to take a look at the goldrush map and script.
The tank and the truck have smoke entities attached.
They smoke if tank / truck are damaged and don’t smoke if tank / truck are OK.
