I know the title sounds a bit weird, but let me explain what I try to do here:

I have a trigger_multiple brush which makes Monoculus spawn when you touch it.
To prevent spawning multiple versions of Monoculus I want to "deactivate" it as soon as it's being touched.
I know about the "Fire once only" button, but I want to have the brush back activated in 15 minutes; basically you are able to activate Monoculus every 15 minutes.
(btw. my map is a trade map)

Is it possible to do this?

You can do this a few ways. I'm kind of doing this off the top of my head, sorry. Kinda busy at the moment, but I want to help, so...

One way I'd probably do it is to use
  • One logic_timer,
  • one trigger_once,
  • and one point_template.
  1. Set up the trigger_once where ever you want it to trigger, and name it something. We'll name it "trigger_MONOCULUS". Setup however you want Monoculus to spawn. I'd recommend using OnStartTouchAll for this.
  2. Next create a point_template. We'll name it "trigger_MONOCULUS_template". Put the name of "trigger_MONOCULUS" in Template 01.
  3. Set up the logic_timer to 900 seconds. Then, in the I/O setup (inputs/outputs), put the following:
    • (OnTimer) (trigger_MONOCULUS_template) (ForceSpawn) (delay 0) (can always fire)
Then it should work just fine. I might've missed something, but I trust someone else will cover for me.

Good luck!


(And just another thought. If you wanted to have random events every minute, you can use a logic_case and a math_counter for this. But I'll wait on that one)

Thanks for the advice,

but i actually found a clever and cheap way to do this (after I created this thread)
I gave the trigger_multiple a name and added two additional outputs:
1. OnStartTouch --> Disable
2. OnStartTouch --> Enable Delay: 900s
