can it be done, my experiments so far arnt to hopefull but I wanted to know if someone else pulled it off. I really need this if I'm going to get my map gameplay to work the way I want it to. If not I have an idea how else to do it but its likely to be VERY glitchey.

don't know, but if you can, you could have random rain in your map :)

My guess would be no, based upon the properties of the entity itself.

As far as I know, you need to name something to trigger it.

Mr. Binary

yeah it has the "master" property so I was hoping you could tie it to a master and use that to trigger it but it hasnt worked.

Do masters work in v1.0???

I think in b3.1, they worked.

For info_doddetect , you must restart the round in order for the new settings to take effect.

info_doddetect lacks a targetname (ie. Name), so you can't trigger it and let the settings take effect immeditely. In b3.1, DOD always calls the info_doddetect whenever the round restarts. Not sure about v1.0 though....

I'll have to check thT out TY for the info.

I'm pretty sure masters work. I've used them as recently as dod_havok. I used one for the exploding chicken coop.

Mr. Binary

Of course they work. Each time you destroy sandbags with a bazooka the dod_trigger_sandbag is shut down this way.

For the doddetect, I would try a trigger_relay and a env_global.
There are chances it will only work when the round restarts. So, why not call the trigger_relay the same name as the dod_score_ent?

If it would not work, I would try a trigger_relay and a env_state.

kruger do you really need a master for that? cant it be done with a simple multi manager thats triggered with a breakable?

anyway i was going throu the info_doddetect attributes, and theres one that says "which team wins when timer expires"
In old dod_schwetz this line changed every map restart... so there must have been 2 doddetects.

Yes, a dod_trigger_sandbag entity can ONLY be turned off (or on) with its Master property.

For Schwetz, it is not a doddetect, it is a trigger_relay and a env_global. Check the excellent tutorial by Haircut at http://www.mardymouse.co.uk , "rotating spawns" it is called me thinks.

yes ive read the rotating spawns tut before. But what i pointed out is that the doddetect's property "team that wins when timer runs out" changes. can you change this string with a trigger?
im not too experienced and thats beyond me... :P

well you could use a change target, but you would need some 1/2 way entity to change target of.

Instead of:
info_doddetect --> Entity
Use:
info_doddetect --> trigger_relay --> Entity
sommin --> trigger_changetarget --> trigger_relay

the trigger_relays are the same entity.
