Right im sure this has been answered before, but i had a look and couldnt find it.

Basically i have certain things in my map, destroyable walls, mortars and such. But i want people to be injured/killed by some of these things. So im guessing trigger_hurt is the thing to use, but how do i add that to my effect.

At a random guess for my walls i would just added "script_exploder" to my trigger_hurt (same script_exploder, as wall is set to) and then it'll work maybe?
But im at a loss for how it'd work with mortars.

Thanks

You could script the trigger to tunr on using the _utility.gsc.. There isa function 'triggeron();' you can use.

For mortars just add a little radius damage to the impact ' radiusDamage(origin, 500, 2000, 1000);'

Hi i dont want to jack the thread but i want to add damege also. where would i add

radiusDamage(origin, 500, 2000, 1000); ?

You generally need to add it after the triggered part of the script, normally along side the efx and sound part. Post your script for more info.

im actually using the one you made Rasta thats on RNR site.

it has the radius damage down the bottom, so do i need to add anything is it didnt do any damage when i just tested it.

Thats should work fine, you could try increasing the values a little though. see if that helps.

I cant get it to do any damage, it works fine (as in the hit the ground fine), but doesnt do any damage.

I would recomend you use this to set your damage:
radiusDamage(mortars[rand].origin + (0,0,12), 500, 50, 100);

This is what i have.

main()
{

level._effect["mortexplosion"] = loadfx("fx/explosions/artilleryExp_dirt_brown.efx");


thread mortar1();


}

mortar1()
{

action = getent ("action","targetname");
botground = getent ("botlayer","targetname");
topground = getent ("toplayer","targetname");
trigger = getent ("morttrig","targetname");

botground hide();

trigger waittill ("trigger");

origin = action getorigin();

action playsound("incoming_mortar");

wait (1);

action playsound("explosion_ground");

playfx(level._effect["mortexplosion"], origin);

botground show();

topground delete();



}
