env_shake Created 16 years ago2007-07-29 16:47:41 UTC by TheElzar

I simply cannot get one to work...

Anyone have any tips?

Give it a name. Set it's duration and power. Trigger it.

Also be sure to place it near somewhere where the player can feel it. Or just increase the "Effect Radius".

edit: Hmm... I thought, this was for Goldsource. My bad.

Still the same principles though, isn't it?

All of that is done...

I have it's name, I have it's trigger, I have it's duration and power...

The player IS within it's radius when it's "triggered"

Still no dice... :

Screen cap the I/O settings, or just write them here. Something must be up with the entity relations.

env_shake:

Name: rumble
Parent:
Amplitude: 10
Effect Radius: 500
Duration: 10
Frequency: 100

inputs:

combinedoor - OnOpen - StartShake - 0.00 - No

---

func_door

Name: combinedoor

outputs:

OnOpen - rumble - StartShake - 0.00 - No

During gameplay everything else works perfectly, all of the other triggers are firing correctly (and believe me, they work... I've spent roughly 8 hours over 5 days tweaking about 40-50 triggers and things for about 5-7 minutes of actual gameplay...just as an "intro" level to the project I'm working on)...

I just can't get this shake working...

That and a soundscape, but I'm about to give up on that...

Is the player inside the effect radius?
Or perhaps the shake effect is too small for the player to notice, I'm not familiar with the scale

Shakes works fine for me.

It was working actually, I just expected more of a shake than what it was giving...

The frequency and strength and all of that were fairly high, so I expected a bit more than I was getting...

There's a lot of visual things going on at the time of the "shake" that made it hard to see...
