env_shooters and YOU. Created 17 years ago2007-03-03 00:53:56 UTC by Strider

I'm working with Spirit, and i want to know if it's possible to make env_shooters follow the player. I've tried setting 'move with' to '*player', and have also tried using a trigger_motion to do the same, neither work.

Does anyone have an idea how to acheive this, or if it is even possible with Spirit?

try using a hot glue gun

env_glue_gun, you mean?

Right, you've been very helpful. ;D

That's not exactly what i'm going for, they're above the player, and i want them to move with his every action.

It could cause problems, but i think it should be possible, i have some more ideas i will try out.

Although what I am about to say is for Source I suppose it applies to HL1...

Like Espen said making things follow the player can cause lots of problems as you already know and I tried making a ragdoll that floated like a ghost with invisible ropes follow the player and boy did it work but it would get stuck in floors and cause the game to crash...

Also you said you typed *player but isn't it !player? I'm not sure

I'm not sure either, and i've tried both. I can probably abandon what i had in mind anyway.. would've been nice, but it's no big loss.

I think the name of that 'name' value in the stupidedit is 'targetname'. Hope it helps since in the smartedit there is no name value, even in spirit.
