random contents Created 15 years ago2008-09-26 17:24:22 UTC by Jessie

This might be important to an idea I have for a map, so i want to make sure whether or not it can be done.
Is it possible to have a box (or crate or something along those lines) that respawns (when triggered) and can produce a randomly chosen contents out of a few items when broken (like, produces either handgun ammo, satchels or medkits, but nothing else)?
It obviously requires a func_breakable, but i don't know 'bout those properties.

Not really possible without additional or insanely complex entity setups.

It can be done with a not that complex entity setup. Just look at the Random event tutorial, you can easyly make random events with an env_beam.

hmm, where is that? i cant find it

We have no tutorial on random triggering, but we have an example map: http://twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=5137

hmm... that might have been where i thought i saw it

hey, that map doesnt work. I stuck a box around it and plugged in a playerstart, and it crashed the moment the map started. I dont get how its supposed to work anyway, the buttons target things that dont exist

so does noone know, or what??

If the buttons' targets does not exist, set your own targets.

and the crashing?

[EDIT] Ahh, nevermind then. I'll just change around the setup.

ah-hah! I found the original, I'll see if this works!
