Monstermaker spawn grenades? Created 19 years ago2004-07-31 16:53:09 UTC by Coolfat3459

I need to somehow spawn grenades. Is it possible to spawn grenades through monstermaker?

And Ive tried but I dont know if Im doing it right.

It's possible to spawn ammo, yes. Instead of making it spawn a monster_human_grunt for example, you would let it spawn an ammo_ARgrenades.

Im talking about monster_handgrenade

Then type monster_handgrenade in the monstermaker and experiment!

You should then also experiment with the monster_handgrenade itself, to see how it exactly works.

Yes, it should work. I don't know how monster_handgrenade works, but I imagine it explodes a few seconds after it spawns. Depends if you want active grenades, or grenades you can pick up. I imagine both would work.

mosnter_handgrenade didn't work. From now on assumeIve already tried what Im asking, usually I have. (I tried this too). And I want to to act as a normal hand grnade. In Life Gear, in a ventalation shaft you can go 2 ways, one lead to a fan with a magnum behind it. Blocking to fan is a breakable vent thingy. When you break it you hear grunts say "I hear something. Affirmative. Fire in the hole!" And a grenade is supposed to dropbehind you. You'll have to figure out how to avoid it yourself, Life gear is a very puzzling game and I dont want to give anyhing away. Anyway, back to the monstermaker, uhh, eah, it didnt work.

if that doesn't work, you could put a monster_satchelcharge instead. but it should work with a grenade...

Well I have discovered that you absolutley CANNOT spawn grenades or satchel charges through monster makers, I tried it in other maps it it just doesnt ork. Looks like Im going to have to create a makeshift grenade with models and env_explosion.

Hmmm... Try the following:

Make an Scripted_Sequence... It would move a grenade model "down the hole". When it reaches certain point it triggers and env_explosion and some debris :D. Take the grenade out of the player?s sight (in the key tutorial you will find out how) and we?re done... I know this is what you meant in your last post but don?t make the model. Hl has one already.

Don't forget an env_damage if you want Gordon to get hurt if he doesn't get out of the way.

Env_explosion includes damage witht eh explosion magnitude, if you don't find a ay to move from the explosion your hurt 80 damage, Which isnt good because health in this game is extremly rare.

if you look around you could find programming sites where you could make your own version of a hammer fgd that suits your needs, i can't help with that though, sorry

Dont want to program an fgd, and that wouldnt changea ntyhina nway, Spirit wouldnt support the new stuff.

Wow that was bad...

If you're working with Spirit, then what's your problem with creating exploding particles? (keywords: env_shooter, trigger on hit, env_explosion, *locus)

Switch the env_explosion's flag "No damage" on, and use a trigger_hurt to injure the player.

Anthony: env_damage doesn't exist

I remember a map in HL where two grenades were launched at you when you went trough a door, effectively blocking you from using that exit. It was in the garage level. Decompile that map and look how that was achieved, it could help you on your way...

Im using Spirit, it could be that Spirit doesnt support grenades with mosntermaker, but Im content with env_explosion, and I WANT THE XPLOSION TO HURT THE PLAY, Stop telling me how to make it so that it doesnt hurt you!

I believe that the grenade was invisible, as the exploding crates were in the way blocking your view, and all that happened was a grenade timer sound, and then an env_explosion, blowing up the boxes and preventing you from escaping that route.

You're right, I don't know what I was thinking there. I meant trigger_hurt. My bad...

Rabid, the grenades were visible. So it might be helpfull to decompile that map...
