Cool effect. Created 17 years ago2007-02-02 14:02:30 UTC by Tycell

Hey guys. Just wondering:

I have a func_rotating with various bits that come off it (and rotate) around a centeral peice. I was wondering if it is possible to make an Env_Beam lightning like effect to come off the bits that stick out and congrigate in the middle.

So that the lightning looks like it is comming off the spinning bits and into the middle of the rotating thing while it is rotating. It gets trickier because there are three points I would like the effect and the beams have to be different colours. If anyone knows how I could pull this off (get an env_beam to hit a specific, moving, target and track it) I would appreciate it.

Dont worry about it guys - after a little experimentation I have it working nicley.

I used Info_targets, parented them to the func_rotating, loaded them up with the three kinds of env_beam I wanted and then put the whole lot on a timer system to emulate the random strikings.

Looks fab. Maybe I will post a pic later or maybe even the map if I am bothered - bit tired ATM.
