Falling Objects/Entities [SOLVED]
« on: February 17, 2010, 02:06:16 pm »
I'm attempting to create an entity which will fall from the sky and kill the player if it hits him. It will then proceed to go through the floor and stop.

I thought I got it working, but then it didn't work. I made a very simple .map to show what I have done and what I'm trying to do.

On a related note, is it possible to get this to happen sideways as well?

What exactly didn't work? I'm guessing you are missing the lip key, which has to have a value = (thickness (in this case height) of entity - distance you want entity to travel) which would be about -224.

That sounds exactly what I needed. Thanks a ton. ;D

Already have that part figured out. Thanks though. :)

EDIT: Got it working the way I wanted. As for the second part, how do I make a door open sideways?

Use the 'angle' key. This and 'lip' should both be explained in Entities window, along with a ton of other useful info.

Add [Solved] to your thread title then.

Glad you were helped easily.
