How can we set something to only detonate if something steps over it or is driven over it
You know if there is actually something like that then I wonder where the fuck that Indiana Jones map is........
So it isnt possible?
Sorry I kinda misworded it. I don't know myself. That was just a joke really. >_>
Edit: Also are you trying to make a landmine?
you use a trigger volume and a flag.
put the trigger volume where you want the player to step to make a explosion, and name the trigger volume "step".
then make a flag were you want the explosion and name it "explosion"
make sure that your trigger volume is big enough for a warthog to fit in.
now copy this script into notpad and save it as "script.hsc" (make sure that you select "All Files" in the file type selection part)
Code:(script continuous mines
(begin
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 0)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 1)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 2)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 3)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 4)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 5)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 6)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 7)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 8)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 9)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 10)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 11)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 12)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 13)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 14)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects step (players)) 15)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
(sleep 33)

this script will to the exact same thing without waiting a second to check between each player... faster, and less data.
Code:(global short number)
(script continuous mines
(if (= (volume_test_objects step (list_get (players) number) true)
(effect_new "vehicles\scorpion\shell explosion" "explosion")
)
(set number (+ 1 number))
(if (= (> 15 number) true)
(set number 0)
)
)
yep, it will, i just got that script from EHS quickly because i was busy.
I should talk to guru... have him stick another one of my scripts in there then - lol.... he likes the many-case trees instead of the loops. On slower computers, a loop sometimes won't activate the trigger, but those case trees are really a crap shoot because of the time the script spends idle waiting between checks.
lol, he needs some more scripts for it, so give him as many as you can. V3 is looking good as well.
So this is for a weapon right =/ and Yes I am making a trip mine
Lol, don't listen to these guys if you are making something like a cross between a land mine and a C4.
OK, what you need to do (No scripting involved) is simply make it constantly shoot an invisible projectile about 3-6 feet or so in the air. If that projectile hits something, then make it detonate.
Simple and effective.
So set it so constantly fire invisible projectiles in the air, and set the model-collision-geometry to have abody vitality of 1 so when it gets damaged it blows up or when the projectile blows it it gets damaged and disapears? And how do we make projectiles invisibleQuote:

I have a tripmine as a third weapon, when you throw it, it rhwos the tripmine projectile, how would I get the projectile to shhoot out projectiles
No, these are for set mines. You won't be able to carry it. Doing the explosion is like the same for the needler, try looking at it. Notice how one projectile doesn't explode large, but multiple explode huge. Just take a look at those tags and do something similar.
Semi-bad idea: lag is one... syncing is another. I don't think that the projectiles would be at the same time when new people joined the game. Unless it was so fast that there was no pause between projectiles... but then there's the lag factor.Quote:

It does sync, a friend of mine once played with me on a mod he made where the pistols always shot (Lol, it was fun, cause you didn't have to click, you just had to aim and a few shots later they died).
Also, there is no lag whatsoever, surprisingly. I wouldn't recommend putting more then 4 in one map, but anything under that will work fine. On most CMT maps, you always have bullet fire somewhere, so it really won't lag much worse then they do.
