Resetting Trigger_hurt On Round Start

CheesyPeteza

<div class="IPBDescription">trigger_random & trigger_relay no good</div> I'm having trouble resetting a trigger_hurt (start off) at round start. I tried using a trigger_relay with triggerstate off at round start, but that doesn't work.

I made a little test map and it seems that no matter what state you send, trigger_hurt just acts like a toggle.

Has anyone got any idea to overcome this?

I'm going to go see if I can do something with trigger_changetarget to sort it, not sure what though. :/

1.x entity resets are buggy.

an ancient tread says this:

Yeah I know that. That's why I'm trying to reset it manually with trigger_random and trigger_relay to no avail.

<u>TOGGLE once, reset on game start:</u>
because in NS1.x TOGGLES dont reset on game start.

<b>func_button</b> (this is a button or whatever aims at the TOGGLE to turn it on when its off at game start)
name: button-on
aims at: turnit-on

<b>trigger_random</b> (this trigger_random turns the TOGGLE off at every game reset, but only if its put on)
aims at: togglestatus
shortest fire time: 0
longest fire time: 0
<b>trigger_relay</b>
name: togglestatus
aims at turnit-off

<b>multi-manager</b> (turns TOGGLE off on game reset, if its turned on)
name: turnit-off
0 gamestart (deactivates the aility to turn on the TOGGLE on game reset (out of sync))
0.001 waitfor-on (activates the trigger_presence to turn on the TOGGLE)
0.002 toggle (turns TOGGLE off when it should be on)
<b>trigger_changetarget</b>
name: gamestart
target: togglestatus
set target to: scorpian (fake aim, so that a game reset does not put on the TOGGLE)
<b>trigger_changetarget</b>
name: waitfor-on
target: button-on
change target to: turnit-on

<b>multi-manager</b> (turns light on when anything passes the trigger_presence and the TOGGLE is off)
name: turnit-on
0 ignore-on (deactivates the aim of the trigger_presence)
0.001 gamereset (activates the ability to turn off the TOGGLE on game reset)
0.002 toggle (turns TOGGLE on when it should be off)
<b>trigger_changetarget</b>
name: ignore-on
target: button-on
change target to: scorpian (fake aim so that pressing the button twice doesnt TOGGLE off)
<b>trigger_changetarget</b>
name: gamereset
target: togglestatus
set target to: turnit-off

<b>func_wall_toggle</b>
name: toggle
Set the toggle flag !!! (not sure if its on/visible-on-start flag-status gets inverted or not)
This toggling entity should change its state in "zero-time". If its a door or anything that takes some milliseconds it can get out of sync by rapid F4ing.
works perfect with light, func_wall_toggle, trigger_hurt, func_conveiour, func_push...

This can get out of sync if the button gets pressedd twice in less than 0.001 seconds, when it has a reset time of 0.
"gamestart" and "ignore-on" maybe can be replaced by a "master" that masters the TOGGLE to save one entity.

Ollj, you know that this is evil, don't you? Is there...no other way than this monster hack? I mean just to reset an entity at round start, does it really require 8 extra entities? There you see that Flayra is no mapper *g*

Ollj

its just a buggy not reseting .fgd
the 2.0 fgd should have fixed round resets.

NerdIII

What does the entity code have to do with the .fgd if I may ask? From what you just said it sounds like you could just replace the WorldCraft fgd and save all those entities.

Shadowics

The .fgd file doesn't really <i>do</i> anything. Hopefully NS 2.0 will reset entities for each round as if the map had been reloaded.

Ollj

jeah its the entities not the fgd. but the fgd is crappy too.

Ok, so we all mean the same. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
