trigger_monsterjump - Brush Entity

Any monster that walks into the area covered by this entity will be made to jump in the specified direction, height, and speed.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - [undocumented] Property used to identify entities.
• Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer corresponds to Yaw. The settings are not always (or not all) used.
• Master (master) - The name of a multisource (or game_team_master) entity. A master must usually be active in order for the entity to work. Thus they act almost like an on/off switch, in their simplest form, and like an AND gate in the case of the multisource. Not used.
• Jump Speed (speed) - Speed of the jump in units per second. Always 200u.
• Jump Height (height) - The height of the jump in units. Always 150u.

Flags

None

Notes

• If the entity is given a name (undocumented in normal FGDs, turn off SmartEdit to add it) it will start disabled and needs to be triggered once to enable.
• Works only once: Once it had found and tossed a monster it will disable itself. If the entity has a name, it should be possible to prime it for another monsterjump by triggering it.
• Using a scripted_sequence and a proper custom cinematic animation laid out to the geometry of the level generally gives a much better result than using this entity.
