Rotating Fan with light effect in COD4 - AmishThunder

This tutorial involves some scripting and lighting familiarity, lets get dirty.

Create your area you want your fan and light.

First make a fan.
Right click on the grid -> script -> script_model
Select the model "icbm_turbofan64" or any other size you want.
Now give it the "Key/Value" of "targetname / fan1"

Now make your spot light.
Create your light entity, null, and connect them.
Refer to Lighting 101 if unsure how.
Select "Primary_Spot" for your light and customize the rest so that the light clearly touches the surface you want your shadow on..

You are now done in your map!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Lets begin the scripting part, its not has hard as you may suspect.

Open your .gsc
If you don't have one yet then open "mp_test.gsc" and adjust accordingly with your map name.

Create your thread
Add this to the first main() bracket.

Quote:

thread fanSpin();

Now under the last } for the main() bracket add this code.

Quote:

fanSpin() {
fan1 = getEnt( "fan1" , "targetname" );
//fan2 = getEnt( "fan2" , "targetname" );

//Code by AmishThunder
// www.kramerartanddesign.com
while (1)
{
fan1 rotateyaw( 360, 5, 0, 0 );
//fan1 rotateyaw( degrees, time in seconds, 0, 0 );

//fan2 rotateyaw( 360, 5, 0, 0 );

wait 4.9;
}
}

You may add as many fans as you like but copy a new segment and up the number by 1.
