The grinder what did that grinding on Mannhattan.

There are two triggers- one kills the player and the other generates the mashing effects and sounds.

I haven't tested it ingame, but I've noticed a couple things just poking around in the VMF.

  • The trigger_multiple is looking for a nonexistent filter_redteam
  • Sounds for robots are included but aren't referenced
  • There's a light_enviroment inside the grinder

On another note, what's with maps using multiple ambient_generic entities for the exact same sound in the same area? I've noticed this several times now and I don't see the point.

When you fire only one sound, even at the highest volume (10) sometimes it isn't loud enough. When you have 2, or even 3 ambient_generic entities all firing at the same time with the same sound, they scale in loudness. Valve also does this with the clocktower sounds on helltower, and the rocket horn and launch sounds on sd_doomsday.

Yep.

I ended up optimizing it later on by doing AddOutput's to a set of ambient_generics that would change the voice clip it was playing just before it played it. That cut out like 400+ entities on it's own.
