Bikerdude 3743 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Evening I am trying to trigger a gas trap from a lever (the lever is a existing model that the player frobs) -I have a 'atdm:switch_rotate_lever' that targets a 'trigger_relay' The 'trigger_relay' targets a 'atdm:func_shooter'And I have the 'atdm:func_shooter' setup as follows - Originally I have the 'func_shooter' shooting a gas_arrow, but what what ever reason it never worked. So I had a look at the gas arrow def, and found 'atdm:result_arrow_gasarrow' which is actually what I'm after. But when the player from the lever, nothing happens. So Im assuming I'm going about this wrong..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sotha 1909 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 What if the shooter fires a gas arrow instead of the gas effect/result? "atdm:projectile_gasarrow" Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3743 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 that was the first thing I tried and what ever reason it would just not fire the gas arrow... Actually sorry, I only tried gas_arrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grayman 2982 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Wasn't there an arrow trap in The Gatehouse? If those were broadheads, it seems you just need to replace them with gas arrows. The "result" is what's spawned when the gas arrow hits. It emits the gas cloud. It's not a projectile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kingsal 615 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was just experimenting with a similar object that fires a atdm:projectile_firearrow when its broken. It would be awesome to have a custom entity spawner in DR that spawns gas clouds, flash bomb, and explosive mine results when triggered. I could see people getting a lot of use out of that in their missions. Quote FMs: Volta and the Stone, Volta II: Cauldron of the GodsSnowed Inn Link to post Share on other sites

I could see people getting a lot of use out of that in their missions.Very much so, I'd also like such an entity. At the moment I'm looking to trigger 'decorative' expanding gas clouds, but on func_emitters the particle is glitchy and looks nothing like what you see when a gas arrow explodes. A triggerable entity that spawns arrow results would make life much easier.

A triggerable entity that spawns arrow results would make life much easier. I'll create a feature request on bugtracker for this. The trickiest part is that the current arrow results depend somewhat on the projectile that spawns them. Hopefully it won't be too much to extract what's needed for a new entity.
