Entity question Created 17 years ago2006-08-05 23:32:42 UTC by Baron Samedi

I have a question basically on something that was in halflife. If you guys remember you had to turn on oxygen fuel and power the test firea a rocket to kill this 3 armed monster growing in a test silo or something along thouse lines. Well i am aiming to do something the same.

what i was wondering was how to keep an entity from being triggered like test firing a rocket. before turning on the oxygen and fuel buttons, seperate entitys. basically just holding off an entity to be triggered before others are triggered. thats the best english i can put this in. any help would be appreciated

i think that this is the entity you are looking for.

on a side note, is there one of these for source anyone? im sure there is, i just cant find it.

I'm sure it would be possible in Source using several "Enable" outputs on the bottle n such to turn on the rocket. I'll try a mock-up of it some time.

Check our tutorial about the Trigger_Changetarget. In it there is a section about disabling objects with a multisource or with a trigger_changetarget and the diffrence between both technics.

Pretty simple, if you keep it all in one level:

1. Make the test fire button and set it's default target to anything, but the rocket sequence (omglol works too )

2. Set up the fuel & oxygen rooms. It should have two buttons, that, when pressed (use multisources) activate a trigger_changetarget, that changes the test fire button's target to the name of the rocket sequence.

If you want to make the oxygen room in a separate level - you'll have to use Globals (this tutorial explains the global ent setup, you'd probably need)

yeah ironically i was browsing the entity list after i posted, just looking at entitys and found the changetarget entity.

thanks guys !!!
