Hi,
Just wondering if anyone could help.
I am making an explodable wall using script_brushmodels, script_exploder and a trigger.
That all works fine, however i want to add an FX to be triggered when the wall explodes.
I have spent ages looking over the forum but cant seam to find exactly what i need.
Any help please?

Have you looked at the exploder tutorial in the CoD1 section?

Yeah i have,


However the effects don't exist in the xmodels folder and there is an error that cant open /xmodel/Fx

That is strange.. because the xmodel 'fx' does exist in the CoD4 xmodel folder.

edit:you can always just add it the old fashioned way, by looking for it in the xmodel folder instead of typing it out in the key/value pair boxes.

I was reading that tut wromg
But when compiled in the map you see the large red FX letters. Does that mean it won't work for COD4?

If you see the fx model then it's either not a script_model or there is no script using it.

Sorry to be a pain, but i am no good at scripting, what sort of script would i use?
I would guess that it would have to be related to the script_fxid

Download the example map which comes with the tutorial (at the bottom). It has the script in it.

Ok i am getting somewhere with this, but now i get a script error.
Type uderfined is not an int.

The fx entity has the following:
classname/script_model
model/fx
script_exploder/30
script_fxid/wallexplode

This is my mapname.gsc:
main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

ambientPlay("ambient_backlot_ext");

game["allies"] = "sas";
game["axis"] = "opfor";
game["attackers"] = "axis";
game["defenders"] = "allies";
game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland";
game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland";

setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".25");
setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".25");
setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");
setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800");
}

This is my mapname_fx.gsc:

main()
{

level._effect["firelp_med_pm"] = loadfx ("fire/firelp_med_pm_nodistort");
level._effect["firelp_small_pm"] = loadfx ("fire/firelp_small_pm");
level._effect["firelp_small_pm_a"] = loadfx ("fire/firelp_small_pm_a");
level._effect["dust_wind_fast"] = loadfx ("dust/dust_wind_fast");
level._effect["dust_wind_slow"] = loadfx ("dust/dust_wind_slow_yel_loop");
level._effect["dust_wind_spiral"] = loadfx ("dust/dust_spiral_runner");
level._effect["hawk"] = loadfx ("weather/hawk");
level._effect["bird_seagull_flock_large"] = loadfx ("misc/bird_seagull_flock_large");
level._effect["wallexplode"] = loadfx ("explosions\wall_explosion_grnd.efx");

//ambient runners
level._effect[ "mp_overgrown_insects01" ] = loadfx( "ambient_runners/mp_overgrown_insects01" );

/#
if ( getdvar( "clientSideEffects" ) != "1" )
maps\createfx\mp_test_fx::main();
#/


}


I thought i had derfined the fx, the map run ok, just when you trigger the explosion, console gives that error.
Please help

Anyone?
