trigger_push question Created 19 years ago2005-06-21 00:46:18 UTC by Zippy

i set a fan under a grate on a map and i want it to throw a person up in the air. i got it all working but i cant get past the fan, it pushes me back slightly, i set the push to 350. im wondering why i cant walk into it and get tossed up, just like in half life on those alien vent things. any ideas?

You need to change the angles ? it'll push horizontally by default. Try putting -90 0 0 for Pitch Yaw Roll (match the numbers to the order of the PYR in Hammer, I think that's in a strange order).

Also, you might need to have the player fall slightly in order to be pushed vertically, i.e. having the area on which they walk to get pushed one unit lower than the bit they were on before, and then putting a one unit func_illusionary on top to make the floor look flat.

well i put in -90 under yaw and my fan was all twisted sideways or something. ill try the illusionary i guess :s

hmm didnt work... any more suggestions?

-90 is pushing down isn't it? Try just 90.

What? I meant change the PYR of the push, not the fan.

oh of the push, LOL smacks self on forehead. sorry im quite new

No problem. Hi.

Did it work?

hmm no it didnt... it is the yaw of the push im setting to 90 right? i did that and theres no change. i cant really do the illusionary brush cuz im not too sure how to make it, well, illusionary

No, the pitch.As for the illusionary... you use a func_illusionary. Have a look at our Entity Guide for details.

In the pitch yaw roll there are three numbers the first one is the pitch!
