April Foolsday the 4th: Electric Boogaloo - Weds, April 1st [ALL DAY]

Can't stop the Wub

Music, as long as it's not horribly deafening, is fine.

I've seen yours so far, you're fine.

 

[Crash]

That qualifies as music.

I was just commenting on the rules not stopping the Wub, not that it was a conflict.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

It's basically complete, the only problem I found was that sentries did not want to ride boats :|

Sentries stay in one place and "slide off" the boat?
Place a trigger over all buildable areas on the boat. Filter it for buildables (see the trigger_hurt on payloads). Have the trigger do OnStartTouch > !activator > SetParent > nameofboat

That worked last time I tried it (many years ago).

 

[Fruity Snacks]

If I sent you feedback on things to change, PLEASE GET ME THE FIXES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR YOU MAP MAY NOT BE PLAYED.

Many maps are fine, or you've already contacted me with fixes, some have not. If you got feedback, are confused about it or wondering why I said what I did, LET ME KNOW SOON OR I MAY NOT INCLUDE IT.

Okay, I have a map but it's not working for some reason.

Basically, the teleporter at the bottom of the pit is not functioning. At first i had a func_teleporter that was the same approximate shape as the pit, but it wasn't working so I made multiple smaller func_teleports. Either way, it won't teleport anyone. Any ideas?

Go to the Flags tab of your trigger_teleport and check the Clients box. You can also go back to using a single trigger.

So...
it didn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[chemelia]

What you're doing here is trying to parent the filter entity itself to the ship.

I think what you ought to do is put !activator in the "Target entities named" box. It'll show up red, but it should fire the command on any buildables that go into the trigger. Also, I'm not an entity genius or anything, but other nonplayer entities that aren't buildings, like some projectiles, might get parented as well.

Oh, I thought !activator stood for something.

 

[HQDefault]

Okay, now that literally did broke everything on the boat, and didn't even fix the sentry problem.
In fact, nothing parented to the boat!
Except for doors, because apparently when you open them they shoot off 10000 miles away.

 

[chemelia]

Yeah, the doors are non-player entities, so they're included in that filter. Maybe setting the filter to "Allow entities that match criteria," then have 3 of them(with the same name) and set the filtered classes to obj_sentrygun, obj_teleporter, and obj_dispenser. Remember, I'm not an entity expert at all, so no guarantees.

And, how would you set multiple things?

 

[chemelia]

Just have multiple filters, and name them all the same thing.

filter_multi + three filter_activator_class

Also your trigger itself should be parented to the boat, because it needs to be moving. Buildables do not interact with triggers unless one or the other is in motion, thus the necessity of parenting the trigger to the moving boat so it will "catch" the buildable as soon as it is placed.

It's parented.

And it still.
Doesn't.
Work!

DAMMIT! Ugh, I guess if we have to, we could just place the ban on engies for that map until it's fixed.

But I REALLY want it fixed! (especially given that I couldn't parent health & ammo to the ship, so I'm relying on engies and medics to help out) Can we get someone who has previously had this problem and knows knows the answer on the line? Or maybe a forum link? OR ANYTHING? please... I'm desperate hmy:

 

[14bit]

Hey, can I still submit my map later today or is it too late? It's finished but I had issues packing some textures last night. I can't get to my computer until around 3-4 ish to fix it, so can I still submit it then?

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Yes, thats fine. Just have it to me by the end of the day today.

 

[henke37]

According to Japan, it's time. Should we do a warmup with the old maps?
