I have follow this tutorial and I am having no luck

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-117.html

Is COD2 the same as COD in this area? I cannot find a breaking glass tut for COD2.

In a nutshell, when I follow this (ignoring the sounds intially) I can see both pre and post break images (see-thru glass) so I am not sure what else I am meant to do, and even when I shoot the glass, the complete window doesn't disappear.

Any suggestions??

ok while i havent mapped on cod2 for a while i do assume things are similar to that of cod4 mod tools ( because i map on that now ). So ill just recap over what i do and maybe u could do that in cod2 radiant and see if that works.

first create your frame for your window dont put anything in it, leave it empty.

next create ur brush and texture it with a glass texture of your choice.

next cut the glass so that you have some edges sticking out.

next select only the pieces that are in the center and that have to be gone ( the ones u want to delete) and while you have them selected right click in the 2d grid window and go down to "script" and then select "brushmodel".

now for the important key values to give to your script_brushmodel
type in the following(key/values ):

script_exploder / 1

Now create a trigger_damage trigger and give it these (key/values):

script_exploder / 1

make sure u set up wat kinda damage it should take like, grenades, pistols, bash etc.. by checking some of the boxes in the entity of that brush. Press N while the trigger is selected, and you should see the boxes.

now to have some fx's show up like glass breaking and watnot simple do the following

right click on the 2d window go down to script > model
and when it asks you to search for a model just close it but leave the entity window open and type in these ( key/values ):

model/ fx
script_exploder / 1
script_fxid / ???? <------- place the name of the fx in the value.

example: script_fxid / large_glass_break

if you want your FX to fly out a certain direction placer a "script_origin" and have it face in the direction that u want ur fx to go and then without having anything selected, select your "FX" model and THEN your script origin and link them. I dont know the key in cod2 to link them but probably ctrl + k? idk. in cod4 it is W. Thats it
and your all done for the radiant part. save and close.


Make sure now that in your mp_mapname_fx.gsc you have called your effect properly. this should work. If you have any problems understanding heres a vid that a fellow modder did, check it out:

part1

part2

part 3


even though its on cod4 the same rules apply as to how it is called and what files have to the thing work properly.

I hope this has help shed some light.

Void,

Thanks for the great and detailed response.

I believe that I am doing similar to this.

Can you have a look at my test map (simple house) and I have created a window with a trigger that I cannot get to execute no matter what combinations I try.

At this stage I am not worried about the sound, I can't even get the window to show.

In my test, there is a top part of the window (in brick and then the concrete bottom half should be left after the trigger)

Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Hoppy

easier aaand it works


rednose

banana i took a look and watnot, although it is the same idea, i believe khopki30 is trying to do it without a script. And if he doesnt understand the script ( i dont know if he does or doesnt but for the sake of the arguement assume he doesnt ) then he will g et even more confuse and watnot if something should fail to work. hey khopki add me to xfire my sn is : "voidsource" without quotes. i can help you out more better from xfire.
