In Radiant, create a brush around the location of where your fire is. With the brush still selected, go to your 2d window and right click. After right clicking choose trigger > hurt. You will notice that your brush is now textured using the "trig" texture. With the brush still selected, press N to bring up the entity window. Enter the following values:

key - dmg
value - % of health you want taken from palyer (ie - 5)

This should be all you need to do. The trigger should no cause damage to player.

Well it seems that the script I posted above only works for one player at a time. So if more than one person is in the water it doesnt work right. Anyone have a solution to this?

bottomtrig = getent("bottomtrig","targetname");

bottomtrig waittill ("trigger",user);
user check_drown();
}
}

check_drown()
{
toptrig = getent("toptrig","targetname");
bottomtrig = getent("bottomtrig","targetname");

while(self isTouching(bottomtrig))
{
if(!self isTouching(toptrig))
{
self.health--; //Slowly Drown Player

if(self.health <= 0)
self suicide(); //This is because the game does not automatically kill those with 0 health.
}

wait 0.1;
}
}

sorry it's late ...
try this :

start()
{
bottomtrig = getent("bottomtrig","targetname");
while(1)
{
bottomtrig waittill ("trigger",user);
user thread check_drown();
}
}

that should work if more than one player is in the water.

Here is the complete script that flesym made for me

main()
{
  maps\mp\_load::main();
  thread start();
 

}

start()
{
bottomtrig = getent("bottomtrig","targetname");
while(1)
{
bottomtrig waittill ("trigger",user);
user check_drown();
}
}

check_drown()
{
toptrig = getent("toptrig","targetname");
bottomtrig = getent("bottomtrig","targetname");

while(self isTouching(bottomtrig))
{
if(!self isTouching(toptrig))
{
self.health--; //Slowly Drown Player

if(self.health <= 0)
self suicide(); //This is because the game does not automatically kill those with 0 health.
}

wait 0.1; 
}
}

Note: You can only have one trigger for each targetname
such as bottomtrig or toptrig
if u want more u will have to edit the script
