vending machine problem Created 19 years ago2004-06-18 18:49:56 UTC by m0p

I am building a vending machine for a part of a map and I have the machine build and all. But there are a few problems. These are the entity settings:

func_breakable front panel (vend1_front_break):
Target on break: vend1_relay_shooter

env_shooter (vend1_relay_shooter):
blah-di-blah blah shooter settings

trigger_relay (vend1_relay_shooter):
killtarget: vend_1_bev

Now, the beverages and buttons are fine. But, when I break the glass, the env_shooter and trigger_relay dont work, leaving the beverage still spawning. Any ideas what is wrong?

Name the env_shooter to something else and target it from the trigger relay. Having them named the same is probably hosing it somehow.

It didnt work! DAMN VENDING MACHINE! Oh well, maybe I can live without env_shooter vending machines.

Just make the machine trigger a nifty sequence when broken and people won't even notice the env_shooter...

Lol. I will make it spawn a snark or a babycrab when you press a certain button or 2.

Hmm. How would I make a monstermaker that only releases a snark when the button is pressed?

Tick "Cyclic". My example map shows this

As for the vending machine, you can also use two env_shooters, of wich one only spawns one beverage every time you trigger it, and the other spawns the whole load of beverages when the vending machine is destroyed. Then either change the targets of the buttons or give them a master that you'll turn off when the machine is destroyed, so you can't get beverage out of the thing anymore.

Y'know, Vassy wrote a tutorial on this.

I tried his tutorial but it wasn't advanced enough. I was following the tutorial from the snarkpit.

Yeah, like right here on TWHL?

My map from the 'trapped' competition had a vending machine that released snarks. The rmf is included in the download if you're interested.

Can I use it for my map? Cos this vending machine I made is so CRAP!

Go for it! yes, you can use it.
