[Tutorial] Making a TimeBomb with Trigger

[pollo]

Hey

I'm going to show (for those who don't know) how to make a bomb, so when you press F it appears and after a few seconds it explodes. The tutorial is step-by-step, so don't worry, you will understand it easily.

First, open Radiant and make a wall, like this:



After doing that, make a copy of that wall and select one of them, do right click on the 2d view and select script->brushmodel. Give the wall these values:



Move the wall you asigned these values out of the other one, so you won't confuse, and after that, select the other wall and "destroy" it:



(Note: to make decals, make a brush, give the texture nodraw_decal, inside Tools, select one face of the brush and give it a decal).


Once done that, select all of the destroyed wall, including the decals and details you put, and give them these values:



Ok you made it, now put the first wall (before) exactly over the one you've done now. We're gonna put the bomb. Do right click on the 2d view, script->model. Search for the bomb model (military_tntbomb). If you don't know how to put models, there's a topic inside this forum). Put the bomb wherever you want, press N and give it these values:




Now make a trig_use_touch over the bomb and give it these values:



Make a script_origin in the bomb, like this, and give the following values (this will set the origin of the explosion and the sound):



And the mapping part is done!

Now let's script. You will need to script a gsc.

For the gsc:

		main()
{
    //mapstuff.....
    
    //functions
    thread precachefx();
    thread bomb();
}

precachefx()

{
//loads the given effect so you
//can use this effect anywhere in you script
//without needing to be loaded again
level._effect["explosion"] = loadfx("fx/props/barrelexp.efx");
}

bomb()
{
//first we define the variables

before = getent("wallbefore","targetname");
after = getent("wallafter","targetname");
bomb = getent("bomb","targetname");
trig_bomb = getent("trig_bomb","targetname");
origin = getent("origin_bomb","targetname");

    while(1)
    {
    
    //hide the bomb and the wall at first
    
    bomb hide();
    after hide();
    after notsolid();
    
    //someone puts the bomb
    
    trig_bomb waittill("trigger",user);
    playfx(level._effect["explosion"],origin.origin);
    bomb show();
    user iprintlnbold("Bomb Planted");
    user iprintlnbold("Will explode in a few seconds");
    origin playsound("MP_bomb_plant");
    origin playloopsound("bomb_tick");
    
    //the bomb is shown and starts
    //to play a tictac
    
    wait(5);
    
    //wait 5 seconds until the bomb
    //explodes
    
    origin stoploopsound();
    earthquake( 0.5, 3, origin.origin, 900 );
    radiusDamage(origin.origin, 250, 300, 20);
    playfx(level._effect["explosion"],origin.origin);
    origin playsound("mortar_explosion3");
    
    //do an earthquake, radius damage
    //and plays the sound and the effect
    //for more info about radiusdmg
    //and the earthquake
    //see the docs section
    
    before delete();
    trig_bomb delete();
    bomb delete();
    after show();
    after solid();
    
    //the old wall, the trig
    //and the bomb delete
    //and the destroyed wall
    //is shown
    
    break;
    
    //so the loop wont repeat again
    //if you want another bomb in the
    //same place, just put a wait
    //command
    }
} 
	

And the bomb is done! You could do it other ways, but this one is more easy. For more info about radiusdamage and earthquake, go to CoD2/Docs/Script Functions and look for it

Maybe I've comit mistakes, because I made this tutorial very fast, 1 hour lol, and not in my computer (still in the cyber) so if there is, I hope you understand it

Hey, nice tutorial

I've replaced [code] with [php], so the script is colored now.

Also replaced the external images, since they are important and shouldnt be deleted for whatever-reason. Please use next time the attachment-system directly
