hi again

just wondering if its possible to create team specific entities in ns1?

for example if i wanted to have a hurt field that only damages marines?

or a wall that can only be walked through as an alien?

or buttons that can only be activated by an alien?

Try a trigger_presence. Search for it in the Official Mapping Guidelines. There might be another way but its late and im tired

Have a look at the point entity game_team_master

To use it as an alien master set it up like this:

-name: alien
-team index: 2

To use it as a marine master set it up like this:

-name: marine
-team index: 1


team index 0 is the readyroom team, can be used for RR triggers for example (get creative )

Anyway now you can use lets say a trigger_hurt and set it's master as one of the game_team_masters above --> for example if you set "marine" as master it will only hurt marines. The same goes for teleporters, buttons, doors etc... I use it for the alien lockable resnodes in my map and the teleporter (along with an elaborate entity mix to make the resnodes work ofcourse)

I do have to add to this that I have not tested it with trigger_hurt or the teleport area brush, I don't see why it shouldn't work though...



Just a little side note...

Are you having trouble finding the Mapping Help and Troubleshooting sub forum?

Thanks Kouji! thats awesome.

um... oops ill be sure to post in there next time LOL

dang i don't think it works :S maybe i did it wrong - the trigger_hurt just goes about hurting everyone, and trigger_teleporter doesn't seem to teleport anyone :s

i'll post my map in when i get home from work ( about 10 hrs from this post ) - maybe ill need to go back to verc and consult the trigger manual!

after consulting the VERC its working now

class dismissed you guys are going into the credits when my is announcable

i might play around with the trigger presence aswell.

Keep in mind that that trigger will also trigger when a teamspecific projectile is going trough it...

--> gorge shoots --> trigger_presence "aliens" will trigger
