Apache - Trigger Condition Death Created 17 years ago2007-07-27 19:23:35 UTC by Sajo

When I set my apache to trigger a target when it dies. (trigger condition)

It does not trigger it when it crashes.
What could be the problem?

highlander.. ur avatar freaks me the hell out.
and i've been having this probelm for a while also, i just gave up on it.

I think the way the trigger on death works is that it triggers once the dying animation is completed. Apache's and Ospreys don't have them.

Trigger Condition - 50% Health Remaining doesn't work as well . So how can I trigger an event when this Apache dies or takes heavy damage?

Just give up. I think Half-Life is teh broken when it comes to trigger conditions on the Apache. I once coded a door to open after an Apache was destroyed (mind the Apache was destroyed by a Gargantua, though you can watch the awesomeness through the window) - didn't work.

NO! I can not give up! I think I got a solution to this
What if I make a huge trigger_once (with monsters and no client flags ticked) which covers the area under the path_corners? So when Apache dies/gets destroyed, it must fall through the trigger_once in order to hit the ground and explode. It might work? Right?

note: Also we have to make sure that there aren't other obstacles which the Apache can hit and explode before going through the trigger.

Should work depending on the level.

I don't think a dead monster can trigger a trigger.
Seems weird, but give it a go

Espen's right, it isn't dead until it hits the ground and goes boom.

I had this problem when making Fathom 2.4 That orange rescue chopper was just a apache with a CS model but I wanted Barney to fall off the catwalk when the chopper died but it never happened. The only way to do it was use a timer, which was poor quality because I could never accurately predict or control the apache's movement. I don't think any of the monster triggers work on the apache 'cause I tried 50% health, death, sight the player, take damage and none of them worked.

Hah, it WORKS! Don't delete the obstacles which the Apache can hit and explode before going through the trigger, cover them with the same trigger_once as well.

Woowaa!

Glad you sorted it. Now hurry up and release XA so we can see it in action
