Which Entity Is Best For Killing A Hive?

dignome

<div class="IPBDescription">trigger_hurt seems bugged</div> Was wondering if anyone has expiremented with this. I tried trigger hurt with generic damage at 20000 and enclosed the hive in it. Doesn't seem to kill complete hives, but will take down future hives once.


I remember on yorockets this worked almost all the time, are they handicapping us or what?

I heard that if you also put in a trigger_push, then the trigger_hurt will work (something about the push making hl "remember" to hurt the hive).

dignome

I think, after testing this a bit, you can not kill the last active hive with trigger_hurt (probably can't with anything else either). Restrictions are the devil...when it comes to my crazy mapping.

that would be some stragity to have a trigger hurt kill a hive, should make some sequence of switches and crap, then make it so that you need 2 mariens to press a button at the same time or something <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

How about a big invisible train/platform with damage?

If you use a multi-manager to trigger the trigger_hurt, it doesn't kill the hive but kills everytihng else. A weird bug. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

ev´ th0ught ´b0ut an expl0si0n that rul0rs y0 hive?
an explosion with damage amount set to 5000 will ´have to effects:
1. it takes the hive to the limits (1000 hp left and ready to be shot down by marine troops cause damage 10000 to a hive is too lame I think)
2. it looks rul0r!!!

btw: try it out. I myself have never tested it XD

Trigger hurt will not reset on the next game if the map has not been reloaded....bummer.

Also env_explosion literally does nothing now, except makes a flashy bang with no damage.


Trying out the crush the hives to little bits idea ;p

Wolv

There's also the env_laser to consider.

dignome

Lasers do no damage anymore. I think I read that on another post. Also...crushing the hive is worthless....it goes right through the hive.



/me has marines teleport on hive for killing ;p
