How to destroy a model ingame ? Created 18 years ago2006-03-31 09:20:54 UTC by Raggy

Recently I had this idea of exploding barrels, I have a great looking barrel model, I know 2 ways of placing it into my map. The problem is how to get the model disapear after the explosion. I made with a invisible breakable wall and set it to explode causing damage. I also placed a monster_gargantua to make it more funnier. After the place blows up, there is only the model left and I can walk trough it now that the invisible breakable wall is gone. Any ideas on how to make that model to disapear. I've tried every trick in my book :

1st way: Kill it. Trigger a trigger_relay with the models entity name in it's KillTarget value.

2nd way: Hide it. Trigger an env_render with the options:

Target: <models entity name>
Render mode: Solid
FX ammount: 0

Got it working. Thank you.

Maybe you can use gibshooter and shoot some barrel gibs to make it more realistic too.

Another question about the barrels. They now disapear and blow up with a neat effect, but if I wanted the barrles to respawn to the world lets say 2 minutes after they blow up. Meaning they would act as a monstermaker. Multimanager might be a solution but I'm not very skilled with that entity yet.

I still cant seem to get the model and the breakable to respawn by using a multimanager. I added their names and the values as time, what else do I need ?

You must HIDE it, not killtarget it the first time. Killtarget removes it completely...
