Spawning repels Created 18 years ago2005-07-24 15:04:48 UTC by Elon Yariv

I made a monster maker that is sepposed to spawn repels! I did it as I did any other monster maker(the other ones worked) but this one doesn't work! The monster maker is triggered by a multi_manager that is triggered by a mp5.

Mp5:
Target: repel1_mm
Delay Before trigger: 0.2

Multi_Manager:
Name: repel1_mm
repel_m1: 0.1

Flags:
Multithreaded: Not ticked

Monster Maker
Name: repel_m1
Monster Type: monster_grunt_repel
Number Of Monsters: 1
Frequency: 1
Max Live Children: 1

Flags:
Start On: Not ticked
Cyclic: Not ticked
Monsterclip: Not ticked

The monster maker is 96 unit below the cilling(and the floor of another room) The floor below angle is 20 and there are no nodes in the level! Whats the problem with this thing!?!

Ohhh...and the floor is like 500 units below the spawn point!

I cant really see a problem, you tryed deleting all entinity's involved in the sequence and re-creating this part?? Dont forget to back-up first. This worked once for me.

No dice!
I did it again and even added a info_node and only this heppend-In the same place the info_node is,these particles apear and four adtional groups circle around them! I think it's because that except from this repel there are no other monsters that follow nodes but I'm not sure! :

It means that the node is stuck in the world.

It's 8 units above the floor!

if those groups of particles are that close together. It could be that the nodes are all over lapping each other if they're all at 8 units height

Only one node! And if they were those particles wouldn't apear for it can be done!

But now back for the real problem!

i had this thing too but my node was stuck in wall entity. Try deleting it and makeing a new one.

I allready deleted it for I don't need it now if I won't have any repels,so please help me with the last quastion!

rebels? You mean soliders, rebels are in Halflife 2

I never said rebels! I said repels!

I tried setting up the monstermaker as you described. It also did not work for me. However, when I changed the monstermaker into an actual monster_grunt_repel, it worked perfectly. He was not visible until the multimanager triggered him. Also, the strange particles you see from your info_node are because that node can't see any other nodes. Since there is only one node, placing another info_node nearby will solve that problem.

Thanks SlayerA you're the greatest!
