Creating trigger_multiple

notMe2 · **Author**

I need to spawn a trigger_multiple on map. The objective is to make a start point/end point on a timer. So i got the "area" that i need to make it as start point, vmf gave me this:

Code:

entity
{
    "id" "282198"
    "wait" "1"
    "StartDisabled" "0"
    "spawnflags" "4097"
    "origin" "-8541.5 193 14874.5"
    "classname" "trigger_multiple"
    connections
    {
        "OnStartTouch" "!activatorSetDamageFilternofall0-1"
    }
    solid
    {
        "id" "2889"
        side
        {
            "id" "2890"
            "plane" "(-9540.0 -1109.0 14893.0) (-9540.0 1495.0 14893.0) (-7543.0 1495.0 14893.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 1.0 0.0 0] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[1.0 0.0 0.0 -52] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
        side
        {
            "id" "2891"
            "plane" "(-9540.0 -1109.0 14893.0) (-9540.0 -1109.0 14856.0) (-9540.0 1495.0 14856.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 0.0 1.0 -32] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[0.0 -1.0 0.0 0] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
        side
        {
            "id" "2892"
            "plane" "(-7543.0 1495.0 14893.0) (-7543.0 1495.0 14856.0) (-7543.0 -1109.0 14856.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 0.0 1.0 -32] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[0.0 -1.0 0.0 0] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
        side
        {
            "id" "2893"
            "plane" "(-7543.0 -1109.0 14893.0) (-7543.0 -1109.0 14856.0) (-9540.0 -1109.0 14856.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 0.0 1.0 -32] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[1.0 0.0 0.0 -52] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
        side
        {
            "id" "2894"
            "plane" "(-9540.0 1495.0 14893.0) (-9540.0 1495.0 14856.0) (-7543.0 1495.0 14856.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 0.0 1.0 -32] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[1.0 0.0 0.0 -52] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
        side
        {
            "id" "2895"
            "plane" "(-9540.0 1495.0 14856.0) (-9540.0 -1109.0 14856.0) (-7543.0 -1109.0 14856.0)"
            "smoothing_groups" "0"
            "material" "TOOLS/TOOLSTRIGGER"
            "uaxis" "[0.0 1.0 0.0 0] 0.25"
            "vaxis" "[1.0 0.0 0.0 -52] 0.25"
            "lightmapscale" "16"
        }
    }
}

and i think the only (or best) way to do this is this way:

Code:

    new ent = CreateEntityByName("trigger_multiple");
    if (ent != -1)
    {
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "origin", "-8541.5 193 14884");
        ....
    }

but how can i set the size/rotation of the entity?

thanks in advance

Set size:

PHP Code:


			
SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecMins", m_vecMins);

SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecMaxs", m_vecMaxs);

Float:m_vecMins[3] = {...}
Float:m_vecMaxs[3] = {...}

thanks for your answer, but, how do i get the vecMins and vecMaxs?

thanks, what i'm trying to do is to set a start point to a timer. Its working now, but what i want to do is create a entity and set onTouch hook on it do know if the client is on the start point or not. Right now i'm using this:

Code:

if((playerAbs[0] < g_fStartPoint[0][0] && playerAbs[1] < g_fStartPoint[0][1] && playerAbs[2] < g_fStartPoint[0][2]) &&
       (playerAbs[0] > g_fStartPoint[1][0] && playerAbs[1] > g_fStartPoint[1][1] && playerAbs[2] > g_fStartPoint[1][2]))

but its not good at all hehe

@R1KO

these positions should be set.I threw a picture for visual representation.

PHP Code:


			
new Float:m_vecMins[3] = {-100.0, -100.0, 0.0},

Float:m_vecMaxs[3] = {100.0, 100.0, 200.0};



SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecMins", m_vecMins);

SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecMaxs", m_vecMaxs);

The size will be 200x200x200
