This is my first time trying to make a custom trap. I got everything set up, but the zombies do not take any damage when they walk through the damage trig on the trap. The players do however take damage so I know the damage trig is working.

I used part of makecents spinning blade trap tutorial as well as the verruckt electric trap script to get it to work, but that is the only problem.

extinguisher_trap_damage()
{	
	while(1)
	{
	self waittill("trigger",ent);
 
	if(IsPlayer(ent))
	{
	        iprintlnbold("ENT IS PLAYER");
			if(ent.health > 51)
			{
				ent dodamage( 50, ent.origin );
			}
			else
			{
					if(!ent maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand())
				{
					radiusdamage(ent.origin,50,ent.health + 100,ent.health + 100);
				}
			}
	}
		else
		{
			iprintlnbold("ENT IS ZOMBIE");
			ent dodamage(ent.health + 666,ent.origin);
		}
	}
}

Can anyone tell me if anything is wrong here? It does print "ENT IS PLAYER" when the player walks through the trap, but it doesnt print anything when the zombies do.

im barely awake... but have you tried this?

while(1)
{
        ent = undefined;
	self waittill("trigger",ent);

so ent becomes undefined when it loops again, prob make no difference, just a thought

Why not just do getEntArray on zombies and have it check for those?

Tried it, still wont do any damage to the zombie

If the trigger is a trigger_multiple I think they only trigger when a player walks through it. Maybe you didn't set the spawnflags correctly.

I am using the same trigger_multiple that is used on the electric trap in verruckt, obviously changed the targetname to match my trap.

Ok it didnt deal damage, but did it at least print the text now?

put a wait in

wait .1;

at the end just in case

No, didnt print text either. Will try the wait

spawnflags 1
I've just tested the exact same script you're using and works for me.

AH, I copied the trig_multiple but for some reason it didn't have the spawnflags 1 KVP. Added it now, and compling. Will let you know if it works.


yup, it works now. thanks!
