Did a quick search, couldn't find anything.

Basically, I have a rotating brush in my map. Its a spinner and when a player gets close to this brush, I want them to die using the trigger-> trigger_hurt.

However radiant doesn't allow for the trigger_hurt to be scripted using the script_brushmodel.

Is there anyway around this, such as the 'kill texture' for example? Whatever it is, it needs to be able to rotate alongside the normal brush.

Thanks, aced.

Here's the situation picturised. :D



The rotating arm itself, and the 16x16 origin texture brush have these settings, and rotate fine.



The rotating script: (from the wikimods website)


main()
{
rotate_obj = getentarray("rotate","targetname");
if(isdefined(rotate_obj))
{
for(i=0;i {
rotate_obj thread ra_rotate();
}
}
}

ra_rotate()
{
if (!isdefined(self.speed))
self.speed = 10;
if (!isdefined(self.script_noteworthy))
self.script_noteworthy = "z";

while(true)
{
// rotateYaw(float rot, float time, , );
if (self.script_noteworthy == "z")
self rotateYaw(360,self.speed);
else if (self.script_noteworthy == "x")
self rotateRoll(360,self.speed);
else if (self.script_noteworthy == "y")
self rotatePitch(360,self.speed);
wait ((self.speed)-0.1); // removes the slight hesitation that waittill("rotatedone"); gives.
// self waittill("rotatedone");
}
}

I need to move the trigger_hurt with it. Pretty sure all I have to do is link it to the rotating arm, however I am no grandmaster at scripting.

Thanks,

I can think of two ways to do this: link the trigger to the brushmodel or just kill the player if he's touching the brushmodel.

First method:

{
brushmodel = getEnt("spinner","targetname");
trigger_hurt = getEnt("pain","targetname");

trigger_hurt EnableLinkTo();
trigger_hurt LinkTo("brushmodel");

brushmodel rotateYaw(360, 10);
}

In Radiant, name your brushmodel spinner and your trigger_hurt pain.
If that doesn't work, try this:

{
brushmodel = getEnt("spinner","targetname");
brushmodel rotateYaw(360, 10);
players = getEntArray("player","classname");
for(i=0, i<players.size, i++)
players[i] thread checkTouch(brushmodel);
}
checkTouch(spin)
{
level endon ("disconnect");
level endon ("death");

while(1)
{
if (self isTouching(spin))
self suicide();
wait 0.1;
}
}

This should cause a player to commit suicide if he's touching the spinner.
