[INFO] Trigger_hurt damage types and effects

I just made a quick test map to determine the effects of the different damage types available in a trigger_hurt. Most of them hurt the player at the specified rate, with the player making the appropriate 'ow' noises and spraying a little blood; but some are different. Here's a table of the damage types with different effects:

Damage Type | Effect on damage | Effect on death
CRUSH|Red tint to screen|
BULLET|Thwack sound|
SLASH|More than usual blood spray|
BURN|Silent damage, player makes no noise|
FREEZE||Train icon from Well
FALL|Silent damage|"Fell to a clumsy and painful death" message
BLAST||Gibs
SHOCK|Sparks accompany blood spray|
DROWN|Blue overlay on screen, player makes choking sound|
NERVEGAS||Saw icon from Sawmill
RADIATION|Triggers geiger counter sound when player is near|Gibs
CHEMICAL|Critical: damages at a higher rate and makes crit sound|

Good to know.

Chrono, Boojum, you thinking what I'm thinking for the next version of that-one-map-we-can't-say-or-else-we're-screwed-but-it-has-a-meteor-at-the-end?

Nervegas. Everywhere.

Poor wittle comp players will be angwy.

Crit death sounds for every death fall? The possibilities, they are endless!

Does BURN actually cause fire damage? If so, does it set people on fire? Or do I need a different thing to do this.
Good help, btw

no, none of these actually set anyone on fire. which makes me sad. whats the point of a lava pit if people arent going to run around screaming on fire?

Boojum has solved this very recently, IIRC.

That's a good idea, shmitz. I'm currently experimenting with damage type stuff to improve the options on the trigger_hurt in the FGD so I'll look into that.

As I said, Boojum solved that for his FGD.

A magical file which tells Hammer what kinds of things you can place and what kinds of options you can set on them.

When set on fall damage it doesn't seem to show the "fell to a clumsy and painful death" message..
Anyone else? :s

Thanks :)
