I currently have a script that moves a clip brush once a trigger_damage is activated. In radiant, i have the trigger_damage with the KVP of accumulate,40, and no spawnflags. I was under the impression that the accumulate KVP would determine the damage that needs to accumulate before the trigger is activated. However, it appears that no matter how much I shoot the trigger, it does not activate. It does, however, activate if a grenade explodes near it, or an RPG impacts it. To be clear, there are NO SPAWNFLAGS on thetrigger restricitng the trigger to splash and projectile only, I checked.

The function being triggered is below, and is very simple. I'd appreciate any help!

init()
{
	//VARS INIT

	w1_t = getEnt("w1_t", "targetname");
	w1_c = getEnt("w1_c", "targetname");
	thread run(w1_t, w1_c);
}

run(trig, clip)
{
	trig waittill("trigger"); //Trigger_damage in radiant
	clip delete(); //DYNAMIC PATH IS A MUST FOR PROPER NODING
	trig delete();
}

Also, as a second question, in the above, I'm sure there is a more elegant way to write it. I'm fairly sure I could use an array, as in the actual script, ive copied the VAR INIT section 30 times, changing the targetnames to be w2_t, w3_t etc. I just want to be sure that if I activate one trigger it doesnt move the worng brush.

not sure about the accumulate damage stuff, never messed with that. For setting it up as an array:

Make the triggers target the clip they need to move ( select trigger, then the clip and press 'w' )
Give all triggers the same targetname ( i used shoot_trigger in the example), and then do this:

triggers = getentarray( "shoot_trigger", "targetname" );
array_thread( triggers,::shootme);

shootme()
{
     self waittill( "trigger" );
     clip = getent( self.target, "targetname" );
     clip connectpaths();
     clip delete();
     self delete();
}

I need all of the clips to be separately named though correct? Also is the connect paths needed if the clips are dynamic paths?

I really need help with that accumulate dammit haha

Thanks tough, I appreciate the response!

Connectspaths is needed yes, and this only move's the clips that are targeted by that trigger.
So if you only link ( target ) one clip with a trigger, only one clip will move.

EDIT:
No need to give the clips each a targetname by hand. If you use the 'w' to connect them to a trigger, it does this for you.



Srry about the damage stuff, rlly dont know about that. Dont you need to gicve the trigger some kind of 'health' kvp so it knows when it's accumulated enough damage? Just guessing, not on a computer with radiant atm..

If you cant get it working with the spawnflags, you can use this script to get the same result:

main()
{
	triggers = getentarray( "shoot_trigger", "targetname" );
	array_thread( triggers,::shootme);
}

shootme()
{
	my_health = 500;
 
	while(1)
	{
		self waittill( "damage", amount, attacker );
		if( isplayer( attacker )
			my_health-=amount;

		if( my_health <= 0 )
			break;			
	}
	clip = getent( self.target, "targetname" );
	clip connectpaths();
	clip delete();
	self delete();
}
