Env beam and trigger hurt Created 13 years ago2010-10-23 15:11:47 UTC by Stojke

Hey guys i need more help.

I am making a death run map, and i have set up a trap that has lasers and i want that trap to stay active for 3 seconds and deactive for 2 and fire again.
And if the player jumps trough the beams he should die.

But the player doesn't die even when i have set 10000 dmg...env_beam

starting entity - lwr1a
ending entity - lwr1b
render FX - normal
brightness - 100
beam color - 255 128 0
radius - 256
life - 3
width of beam - 50
ammount of noise - 10
sprite name - sprites/laserbeam.spr
texture scroll rate - 35
Strike again time - 2
damage / second - 10000

I use those settings and FLAG start on.

Also can i some how make it that when laser strikes trigger hurt activates? Thanks.

try turning down the noise?
I've never used blinking lasers in themselves, but you can achieve the same effect with a multimanager turning the beam on and off every so often.
Just keep trying different things i'm sure you'll figure it out!

how can i achieve this? With 2 multi managers contacting each other in a specific period of time? Or?

Also it would be a lot easier if i could ON OFF a death trigger at the correct time...

But thanks ill try

ah, i see the problem, try using env_lasers.

they cause damage. env_beams don't

I have done it with env_laser, 2 multimanagers contacting each other and an trigger_once!

Thanks for your help guys!

you're welcome
