Falling door Created 16 years ago2007-07-17 04:55:42 UTC by Skals

uh... well, if you have opposing force, you might know that in some places there is this torch grunt, who often comes up to a door, uses his weapon thing and then the door just falls and gets left on the ground.

i want to have a trap in my sven co-op map, that when a player comes up to a door, it falls on him and squashes /kills the player. i wanted to know how to do that.

help please

It's just a rotating door, set the rotating axis (the origin brush) along the bottom of the door rather than the side. Bump up the damage so it kills you and increase the speed a bit for realism.

ohh thnx i thought there was more to it, but i guess there isn't

okay i have some problems with it. if i set the X value of the door to 90, it rotates / falls to its back (on a monster there) but i want it to fall on its front (on the player)

i also have a problem, that everytime som1 enters my map, the door has already fallen, like w00t, the player never trigered it, there are some monsters behind the door but, i set the monsters can't flag on, but it still happens.

Settings of the door:
name: fallingdoor
Pitch yaw Roll: 0 0 90
Speed: 150
Delay before close: -1
Damage inflicted when blocked: 1000

Flags:
Monsters can't

Whats wrong with it????

1. There should be a flag which says 'Reverse direction.' Check it.

2. This is multiplayer. I'm not sure if triggers work well in Multiplayer maps.

okay reverse direction... but the door still is open at the rounds beginning!

Use a monste_maker to spawn your monsters behind the door as the player approaches it instead.

uhh okay ill do it. checking up some teleport tuts

That was fast.

Giant edit:

omg. daubstar (or any 1 else) plz help! iv tried to set up the origin texture on the bottom and eaven the other side of the door. i'v also tried changing each origins Pitch Yaw Roll... none of em leaded to the falling door solution!!!

please help man frend.

What's going wrong exactly? It's just starting open all the time? Maybe check the "starts open" flag... since it would probably do the reverse of what it is now.

uhh, im more confused in what your trying to say then the door, I know what you want to happen, I just cant figure out what problem your haveing with it.

yeah, and why are you mucking about with the origin brush? it should jsut be tied to the door.

Yeah, just put that origin at the bottom of the door where you want it to pivot, tie it and the door to a func_door_rotating, set the flags so it rotates on the correct axis, and trigger it. It's that simple. If you need to, check the flag to reverse the direction the door falls. Messing with the pitch yaw and roll properties is not necessary for this.

ahh... well i never turned any of the axis flasg on, was that the fault?

... Yes.
