Mapping-Noob Questions

[Mattn]

set the particle parameter for func_breakable to e.g. fire or burning
and the material to 0 (which is already the default)

are you using trunk? or 2.2 branch?

Umm.. trunk? I have 2.2 release. Also, in which folder those particles are stored? Thanks.

[Mattn]

they are stored in the ufos folder - those ufo script files that starts with a ptl_* (but be aware, that you can't use every particle as a static map particle - some are only for weapons) - the best would be to open an existing map and have a look at the particle definitions in the mapeditor for this map. Just to get a better feeling for them. They are normal entities so just select them and hit n to get the entity properties

[wotwot]

Ok, thanks. Is there a way to have a sound play when a brush is destroyed?

[Mattn]

this is done dependent on the material you assign - but i suppose the sound files are still missing

Code: [Select]

switch (target->material) {
case MAT_GLASS:
gi.PositionedSound(PM_ALL, origin, target, "misc/breakglass", CHAN_AUTO, 1);
break;
case MAT_METAL:
gi.PositionedSound(PM_ALL, origin, target, "misc/breakmetal", CHAN_AUTO, 1);
break;
case MAT_ELECTRICAL:
gi.PositionedSound(PM_ALL, origin, target, "misc/breakelectric", CHAN_AUTO, 1);
break;
case MAT_WOOD:
gi.PositionedSound(PM_ALL, origin, target, "misc/breakwood", CHAN_AUTO, 1);
break;
case MAT_MAX:
break;
}

I guess that code requires the new material system in trunk? I have no idea about compiling it, but thanks anyways.
