Monstermaker, Apache, path_corner Created 14 years ago2010-04-16 08:45:05 UTC by MSandt

Any way to make an Apache that's been spawned using a Monstermaker to follow path_corners?

Edit: Might as well ask another question here. You can trigger a door to open when you kill someone. However, is it possible to do this with a group of enemies, so that you need to kill three bad guys before a door opens (such as in Quake)?

Regarding the Apache, I don't know.

As for the door, you could try using a game_counter.

Thanks, the game_counter thing works except there's no delay between killing the last bad guy and the door opening even though I gave delay a value of 2. Not a problem really, just seems a bit hasty.

Then use a trigger_relay with "Delay before trigger" set to 2.

Thanks, that works.

Should Trigger Condition (set to "death") of an Osprey entity work? I tried to trigger a multimanager once you destroy an Osprey but it doesn't work. When I tried this with a grunt it worked.

Damn, just played through a mod called Operation Nova and there's an Osprey that, once destroyed, triggers a door. I'd contact the author via Moddb but he hasn't been online for months.

I believe you can't trigger a multimanager directly, try setting the trigger target of the Osprey to a func_button and have the button target whatever you want.

Not sure if this'll work though.

Didn't work. I also tried to link the Osprey to game_counter and that didn't work either.

Pretty irritating when someone has done it successfully but you cannot figure out how!

I managed to initiate contact with the author of Operation Nova and he explained how the trick was done in Nova.

Here's how it goes: The Osprey flies in a huge trigger_multiple entity which targets a trigger_monsterjump entity somewhere in the map. This monsterjump entity prevents a barney (or any other monster) from reaching a trigger_once entity that triggers whatever you want triggered once the Osprey goes down. Obviously, once the Osprey is blown to bits it no longer occupies the trigger_multiple, allowing the barney to reach the trigger_once.

Pretty cool!
