Constant Gas Stim


Springheel

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to create the equivalent of a gas leak in a pipe. I basically want to create a gas arrow stim that is constant, doesn't change size, and has no graphic (particles handled separately), but causes the player to cough and take damage if they remain in its bounds.

 

I can't get it to work (nothing at all happens), and assume I'm doing something wrong with the s/r.

 

What am I doing wrong below?

 

"sr_class_6" "S"
"sr_type_6" "20" // STIM_GAS -> script/tdm_stim_response.script
"sr_radius_6" "75" // Radius in Doom 3 units
"sr_magnitude_6" "0.1"
"sr_state_6" "1"
"sr_falloffexponent_6" "1"
"sr_time_interval_6" "330" // stim check is made every 330 ms

Try increasing or removing the magnitude setting. In addition, the gas arrow result additionaly uses a setting called sr_radius_final. Maybe that's neccessary for it to work properly. Here are the settings used by the gas arrow result:

 

    "sr_type_1"                "20"        // STIM_GAS -> script/tdm_stim_response.script
    "sr_radius_1"            "15"        // Radius in Doom 3 units
    "sr_radius_final_1"        "70"        // Max radius
    "sr_state_1"            "1"
    "sr_falloffexponent_1"    "1"
    "sr_duration_1"            "7000"        // lasts for 7 seconds (is roughly the same as the particle effect)
    "sr_time_interval_1"    "330"        // stim check is made every 330 ms

Just checked the code. Radius is the starting radius and radius_final the end radius. The radius grows from the start towards the end value over the time span defined in duration.

He don't need duration, as it should be continuous. I would bet it is the magnitude that needs increasing.

Right, so if you just use a radius value, then it should be a constant size? Or do you still need a radius_final?

 

I'll try adjusting the magnitude.

 

edit: Nope, setting it to 1 didn't seem to change anything. I also tried adding radius_final, but no luck there either.

 

Ah, I think the problem was the radius. It was lying on the floor, and with a radius of 70 I guess it didn't reach the player's mouth. Increasing the radius gets it working.

 

I don't suppose there's a way to move the origin of the stim?

If you are def attaching the stim you can offset it this way.

"def_attach1"						"gas"
"pos_attach1"						"gas"
"attach_pos_name_1"					"gas"
"attach_pos_origin_1"				"0 0 0"	 //offset origin

Otherwise, thats a good question. Would be curious to know as well.

  • Correct
  • What demagogue wrote. If you are going to use it several times using a combined entity as proposed by kingsal will be of help, though.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
