To create a drag/pull effect


(Loffy) #1

Hi!
Is it possible to create a “drag” in a map. No, not a drag artist but a pull force that makes the player go to a specific point. Like a river draft, pulling a swimmer towards the water fall, or a gigant magnet that pulls the player towards it (if the player was made of metal that is). You get the idea.
There was a stream/pull in the water tunnel that goes from the flag area to the guns in the map Oasis I believe. I felt it once, as a swam there as allied. But that could have been a bug too. Not sure.
Anyhow, would a pull effect be possible to create? (Either on land or in water.)

It´s probably done via the target_push entity.

Also in shallow water u can use the “slick” texture on a brush in the bottom to get the feel of being on ice like the frozen lakes in railgun.

The icey_lake textures have the same surfaceparameter as the invisible “slick” texture.
