multi_manager problem Created 17 years ago2007-07-05 14:30:07 UTC by ip

Hopefully this will be my last problem for today...

I'm trying to have a button, trigger a multi_manager which will set off a message (at 0.1), and a water rising (at 0.2).

Button - Target: Drown
Multi_manager - Name: Drown

- message 0.1
- backwash 0.2

Water - Name: backwash
Text - Name: message

Now whenever I press the button, the water rises, however the message doesn't go off... help would be appriciated, thanks.

Also, is there anyway my func_button can target/set-off 2 things... IMO it'd be a lot easier.

If you want to set off two things at the same time, just give them the same name. Also, there's no need for the .1 second delay you have there, unless thats what you wanted. If I remember correctly you can have multiple things triggered at the same time.

What message entity are you using?

game_text

and thank you... didn't know you could have the same name or time.

I'm not really that sure myself Just experiment.

You must have a multisource target each game_text. Here is an example

GAME_TEXT
name:1
messagetext: hello
x: 1
y: .5

MULTISOURCE
target:1

Leave everything as it it, just get a multisource to target the game_text, don't trigger the multisource, leave as is.

edit: yes, entities can have the same name.

Okay, now another question (which will probably turn out very simple, but still...). I'm setting it so that multi_manager will keep on running, until a button is pressed, thus killing the manager. Now the problem is... I only want the manager to be killed for the rest of that round, and to come back the next round. Is there anyway I can do this?

Thanks
