I have been trying to trigger a fire for hrs..I would like for a barrel to explode & catch some wood on fire..I have tried alot of different scripts including the 1 from Kill3r (which looks close to the ones here) http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-75265.html I changed the words to fit my needs & changed the line: "playsound(blah)" to "loadfx(my needed fx)" I got it to run with 0 errors & it did place the needed fx in my missing csv , which I cut from left pasted to right..but when I shoot the trig, no fire???
p.s. I do have fires working in the map already..I just want to be able to start the fire...

Now I am getting a error, cannot find vision file when game is loading??
This is my gsc:
(map stuff)
burn_think();
}
burn_think()
{
trig = getentarray("burn_trig", "targetname");
for(i=0; i {
trig thread burn_wood();
}
}
burn_wood()
{
while(1)
{
self waittill("trigger");
playfx("fx,fire/oil_field_fire");
wait(1);
}
}

Edit to above post.. Map loads fine, I get the error when the tigger is hit..

vision file not found error? remove the vision file line from the right side of the zone file and rebuild.

its not in the right side of cvs , that is why I posted the edit...I get the error during gameplay when i shoot the trigger...Sorry for the confusion..

untick developer, developer_script and cheats and run again.

Still no fire when triggered?? thx for the help though...

playfx("fx,fire/oil_field_fire");


you havnt set where to play the fx and you havnt precached it


make a brush and texture tools > trigger

make another one for where you want the fx to play and texture tools > origin

select both > right click > trigger > select type

<br />
main()<br />
{<br />
*usual map stuff*<br />
<br />
	thread burn_think();<br />
}<br />
<br />
burn_think()<br />
{<br />
	level.fx_burn_thing = loadFx("fire/oil_field_fire");<br />
<br />
	trigs = getentarray("burn_trig", "targetname");<br />
	for(i=0;i<trigs.size;i++)<br />
		trigs[i] thread burn_wood();<br />
}<br />
<br />
burn_wood()<br />
{<br />
	while(1)<br />
	{<br />
		self waittill("trigger");<br />
		playfx(level.fx_burn_thing, self.origin);<br />
		wait 1;<br />
	}<br />
}<br />

HurrayThx a bunch, Kill3r...& by the way..Lmao, when I seen what the oil_field_ fire was...Kinda scared me when that giant oil rig popped up...

Sevenz...

I like your idea on the Trigger_use, but i don't have a script for that. If you could cook one up that would work for the windows and door frames that would be good. I could link it to an invisible non_colliding brushmodel that fills the whole house, or what you said using the nodraw, or just something that is invisible, pretty much making an invisible wall. Couldn't i just use cauk for that, or does it have to be something with a texture?

Let me know if you want to help out still...
