Got a request: func_emiter bound to cooking pot that extingushes when dropped.

[Bikerdude]

Here is the scene -

• Player see a cooking pot bubbling & gentle steaming on a cooker or small furnace.
  
• Player pick's up said pot and for a short while it will continue to bubble/steam.
  
• Player drops pot it falls on its side or player rotates pot so its sideways on - the func_emiiter stops emitting steam and the bound speaker entity stops bubbling permenatly
  

I am guessing this would need to be a scripted object...? of so can someone help me with this..? Would be very cool if said pot had a way of detecting if it was above a heat source and was the right way up and then would start steaming/bubbling again.

would likely be better left as a static entity with permanent func_emitter. I wouldn't bother with this kind of detail unless someone first figures out a way to make believable one-time liquid spills from moveable objects, and I don't really see that happening.

I only say this because I feel as a player, that feature would not grab my attention or add to my immersion unless it behaved more realistically when turned upside down than to just stop steaming.

I was gonna place a move pot and bind a FE to it, but then when the player grabs it the steam would still rise in the direction the pot was pointing. I wonder if the steam particle would reactive to world gravity thought and alwats rise vertically regardless of pot orientation.

thats a setting, i believe there was a similar issue with torch-bearing AI that was fixed already.
