Sorry for posting this new topic but this might work
when you create for example a trigger_use, and you press n...
you get this list:
Code: Select all
when activated will use its target
"delay" - time (in seconds) before it can be used again
"offnoise" - specifies an alternate sound
"cursorhint" - sets the cursor hint icon to display when the player looks at it. Default is HINT_ACTIVATE.
"hintstring" - hint string to display over the icon. Auto replaces [Use] with the key the player must press. Example: "Press [Use] to plant the bomb"
"cursorhint" cursor types:
HINT_INHERIT
HINT_NONE
HINT_ACTIVATE
HINT_NOACTIVATE
HINT_DOOR
HINT_DOOR_LOCKED
HINT_MG42
HINT_HEALTH
HINT_LADDER
HINT_EXIT
HINT_FRIENDLY
I am able to use those commands, but can I also activate them by a script?
if I can it might be able to set gravity in a specific area

I fail to see how anything here will do area-specific gravity.

cant see it either... it will just change the whole map unless u use trig multiple or such as that and make a specific area with it where u want the gravity changes

cant edit for some reason
talked to him and i think he means: if he can use those commands in a script without typing it in the enity box
if it can ( he says ) its possible to make the gravity work

I will say this again (like many people have said)...
Gravity CAN be changed via script... but NOT area specific.

maybe you people should listen to drofder and shut the hell up...he tends to be right about these things

You probably don't understand what I mean....
I mean: can I activate this?--->
Code: Select all
"hintstring" - hint string to display over the icon. Auto replaces [Use] with the key the player must press. Example: "Press [Use] to plant the bomb"
by editing the script?...its not that hard to understand
add a hintstring in a script
just like: give a brush a targetname(targetname123) and then in the script you do: targetname123 (and then add a key and value to it)
I really hope someone understand now

Yeh but how is a hintstring going to do anything with gravity?
hintstrings simply put a message on a trigger?
If you want to change that, I believe...
trig = getent("trig","targetname");
trig.hintstring = "New trigger Hintstring";
untested.

no it doesn't do anything with Gravity, but if it works...It will work the same on gravity
hopefully...
So it would be this:
Code: Select all
trig1= getent("triggrav1getname");
trig1gravity = "800";
and all other worldspawns (or trigger, need to find out) this:
Code: Select all
trig1= getent("triggrav2rgetname");
trig2gravity = "100";
So that one in the specific area for the low gravity
Hope it works

Then its not a trigger....but a worldspawn
Then it should work

You can ONLY cahnge the WORLDSPAWN gravity, not a SPECIFIC AREA.
If you change the gravity, the entire map will be affected.

how hard is it for people to understand?

maybe it doesn't work
but cant you change 1 worldspawn to gravity: 100 and the other gravity: 800 ?
Im still hoping it will work
