The anti-source effect (water) Created 18 years ago2005-06-01 09:42:14 UTC by Madcow

I'm making a boat, and I want it to go after a track.
So I,, sorry, I've lost the word, but here is what I did:And, as you can se, the boat just lies there, in the middle of everything, not moving down!

So I thought, maby I could use the "thrust effect" from Garry's mod.
If you have played GM, you know what I mean.

The thrust will push the boat forward, and if I make a trigger at each hill, wich make the thrust thingy go faster..

The importand thing is, that the ship must be "free" (not following path_tracks,,, path_corners)
It must be full source.

And here's whats wrong,, how do I make one of these trusts?
If you know, please help me..

Thanks!

(Searched the forums, and found nothing. )

That's coded for GM.

Try a trigger_wind or trigger_push or the like. (Make sure the boat is a physbox too.)

trigger_wind...Does that even exist...I didn't notice you said it Rabid and laughed cause I thought oh what a noob saying that but then I saw you and went

Yes, well, the boat is made by 1 brush, with func_phys box,
but you cant see the brush..
The brushes around it is func_brush, parent: the brush with func_physbox..
This works, because, the boat is moving realistic when it just lies on the water, but it won't go down at hills.. :/

Trigger_push? I've never used that one,, but I'l try..
thanks rabid!

And,, what is trigger_wind? O.o

The trigger_push worked great!
Thanks rabid!
But there is only one thing left, that I forgot to ask about (sorry)
If it's OK to ask an other question,,
I need this boat to be use able,, not so you can control it, but just sit in it, and not be able to move away.
Like, when you sit in the buggy,, you know..

But the boat is not going to be controlable.

How do I make the player stick to the boat when the player press "E" (USE-key, E is standard)

Not even sure if you can do that, might be possible with some parented func_brush trickery.

trigger_wind...Does that even exist

Yes, it's wind that can push clients, NPCs, phys items, pushables, etc. It's in the intro trainstation scene once you step off the train (the takeaway containers and the garbage all blows down the platform.)

Ah so thats how they did it thanks!
Is it resource eating? cause I might use it in future CSS maps.

No, it's really cheap unless you have loads of physitems.

It's in dust somewhere, I think at A (A is the non-spawn bomb site, yeah?)

Ok, I'll try this: box the player in in a brush (hollow) with the no draw texture..
When the ride is over, the hollow brush goes up, using the same technique as when you make elevators,, wich I don't have any idea of how they do, but I bet I can find that using google...
Well, anyway, when you go in to the boat, there is a trigger that makes the box come down again, a message appares if the box went down without any errors ( ) and, then it's done!
Just need to make it look better,, the boat looks like sh**
