Triggering Explosions
« on: August 08, 2010, 07:13:29 pm »

How do you trigger a rolling explosion in a map? The traditional explosion entity doesn't seem to work with GES

Interesting question....

Try using an env_explosion entity. You have to trigger the "Explode" input

I think in general the env_explosion entity is pretty borked in most Source games, the only instance I can think of it being used is the bomb sites in CS:S.

From what I understand, the rolling explosions in GE:S are a replacement for the HL2 rocket/grenade explosions, whilst the env_explosion entity actually produces a different kind of explosion entirely... Though I'd love to see a GE:S explosion entity that can be used in maps, that would be great, and pretty much essential in the future if singleplayer goes ahead.

Yeah, env_explosion doesn't work with the default settings (unless there's some trick to make it work that I don't know about). I've setup a basic button and when you use it it triggers Explode. Sadly, nothing happens in game.

I'm pretty sure it's currently possible to trigger explosions without rockets/grenades. If I remember correctly... Silo has two re-explodable poisonous barrels at the top of a set of stairs. If you shoot them, they catch on fire, then explode in a rolling explosion.

I tried vmex so I could decompile ge_silo, but I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and I'm having problems getting vmex to notice JRE. So no luck there.

Those barrels are explodable props... that's not actually part of the map itself, nor is it controlled by the map, just a model that will explode if damaged enough.

I'll look into this. Rolling explosions spawn for any ingame explosion. It's a complete replacement to the HL2 explosion both in name and function. so if a prop is compiled to "explode" when takign too much damage it will spawn an explosion but really a GE explosion (rolling explosion). It's prolly some stupid initialization thing why you can't use the entity through hammer.

wow, you just asked the same question I was having issues with a few days ago. I was trying to use env_explosion with no luck as a trigger...:( Km, if you could program something for this, i would love you. I was going to use it in my map....but at the moment I am without that ability. I would love you forever if you added an entity similar to how you did func_ge_precipitation. :)

The entity is there, there is just a disconnect in the triggering of it. I'll debug and make sure it works for v4.1
