Hello, I am currently working on my first map. It's a KOTH map and i made a bucket like platform that players can get on, but I've been having some problems with getting stuck in it. I've found some solutions for that but now i am stuck. There is an area where it goes through where Enginees can place a Sentry and that's OK, but i want the platform to destroy the sentry if it goes through it.

Interesting gameplay mechanic!

If you want to destroy buildings that contact the bucket, you can place a trigger_hurt parented to the bucket and have the filter set to just buildings (just like how the Payload cart does it).

Here's a screenshot of the trigger_hurt you'll want to make:

Notice the 'Filter Name' field as well. That's what makes the trigger know to only destroy buildings, not players. You'll need to make a filter_activator_class with the following settings below, give it a name, and hook it up to the trigger_hurt.

Then your trigger will only destroy buildings as it passes over them!

Thank you! So how do I hook them up to each other? I think i'm not doing something because it's not working.

You need to parent the trigger_hurt to the platform. On the trigger_hurt, in the little box that says 'Parent' just input your platform's name and it should move along with it.

can you post what you have set up, for the trigger_hurt and the platform?

use something like the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot of your settings for the two objects

seems fine to me...have you gone ingame and tried showtriggers_toggle, to see if the trigger hurt is following it?

Have you tried it without the filter active? Test if players are killed, and also test if buildings are destroyed

Might NPCs need to be checked? I'm not sure what a sentry falls under. Clients would refer to plays I believe, so you don't want that checked. You could also try ''everything' and hope the filter does its job

You parented the train to itself. That's... not a good idea.
