TRIGGERS!!! Created 17 years ago2006-06-24 03:26:38 UTC by esmajor

I'm just wanting to share a thought...

Tonight I finally figured out a simple set of "toggling" triggers. I have a brush that you walk onto which turns on a blue light... then you walk off it, and onto another one - the blue light is off when you walk off the one, and a RED one turns on with the OTHER one.

No I dont want a cookie, No I dont deserve a little silver star, but when you figure something out in Source, it makes ya feel like "Hey I learned something new!"

Triggers are so complex, but I like 'em!

Source, eh?
It's pretty possible to do the same in HL1, I think..
Nice work.

I made one of those, but instead of a light, it controlled a maze/room that shifts to diffrent paths depending on where you step, while the others open/close. I felt awsome too =) the input/output system is fun to use.. I think anyway.

Pfft triggers in Source made me go When I first saw them...But now they are really useful because you can make things like this:

Yeah, I/O systems can get very intricate in Source, but as a result you can also do some great stuff.

There is already an example on this. (If I understood this right)

This example uses a trigger which:
First of triggers an event when you touch the trigger area.
When you leave the trigger area it triggers an other event.

"On start touch" and "On end touch"

Of course a simple "trigger_once" can't do this, you'll need to use a trigger_proximity.

What MOD is that for?

does +trigger and -trigger still work with source?

No, you have to set it either on or off using outputs

What MOD is that for?

Any...Gmod is best but I used HL2...It's only a box filled with clever entity works like a wand that you can pick up and when you aim at an enemy they either get blown up, set alight, pushed miles away or just kersplode.

Loads of turrets, an ingenious idea - A physic water brush that you can use to fly.

Samurai swords, exploding sucking boxes!!!Color changing disco lights....

Amazing!!!
