frob block


Springheel

Recommended Posts

I have a safe door that targets a frob-block brush inside the safe, to keep the player from getting at the insides until the door is open. Seems to work properly, except that every OTHER time I open the safe, I can't frob the stuff inside.

 

It works like this:

 

1. Open safe door. Can frob everything inside.

2. Close safe door, open again; can't frob anything inside.

3. Close safe door, open again; can frob everything inside.

4. Close safe door, open again; can't frob anything inside.

repeat

 

Any idea what might cause it to work only every other time?

Ah, thanks. I guess all doors that control frob-blocks should have this?

You're missing this spawnarg on the safe door:

 

"trigger_on_close" "1"

 

should "trigger_on_open" also be set to "1" or only "trigger_on_close" on safe doors ?

Both. The first is set by default in the def file, and the second you have to set yourself.

 

Good to know, thank you! Also I would recommend the "metal_safe.pfb" prefab that comes with TDM base add in "trigger_on_close" "1" as by default in 2.0.4 it only has "trigger_on_open" "1" with the "trigger_on_close" set to "0".

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
