Thread: Can someone help with an idea how to trigger someone dead if he touches ground?

im making a mod with a course to run

lets say some boxes in the air and u have to jump from the one to the other... but when u miss and fall down u should be dead and respawn at the start again.

whats the most easy way to do that?

greets slim

edit: a video of what im trying to do http://social.xfire.com/video/6351a4

1) LOL all I'm imagining is everyone on my TS being drunk or stoned out of their mind trying to play this on a Friday night.
2) Looks pretty doable - probably the easiest way would be to make a trigger run the entire X, Y coord of the tank alley, and with the Z coord set just above the ground, or just under your lowest box. As soon as you touch the trigger you die. OR you could make each of the boxes a trigger, and every 5 seconds or so the trigger checks to see if the player is touching the trigger, if they are it won't do anything - if they aren't, it kills them.

Here's how the first one would look:

GroundTrigger:

	local.trig targetname gtrig
	local.trig = spawn trigger_multiple
	local.trig.origin = ( -2940 2740 270 ) // You'll have to change this to the coords and size for your trigger for destroyed village
	local.trig setsize ( -650 -650 -20 ) ( 650 650 1 )
	local.trig setthread GroundTriggerActor
	local.trig wait 0
	local.trig delay 0
end

GroundTriggerActor:
	self waittill prespawn
	local.player=parm.other
		if (local.player.isGroundTriggerActor==1)
		end

	local.player.isGroundTriggerActor=1
	wait .1
	local.player kill
        local.player hurt 200
	wait .1
	local.player.isGroundTriggerActor=0
end

cool thanks, will try it soon

thanks blatter works great

is there an maximum to the setsize?

I don't think so, I know I've made a spawn object the length of a map before (adding clear walls on single player maps to cut down map size) and it hasn't ever given me an issue.

It's 8192, if I remember correctly, since radiant does not allow you to create maps larger than 8192x8192

oke cool thanks... i have 9512.. so it just goes aout beyond , works good... only need to make multiple triggers for some stuff that are higher than the ground

Yeah, MoHAA doesn't really care either way. I remember I wanted to automatically detect the boundaries of maps once. I used trace in each direction. If I bumped into something, I move one unit forward in that direction and try again. Once you start a trace outside of the map's boundaries, however, the trace would go as far as you want. So if a trace moves 32768 units at once, then the endpoint of the last trace stopped at a boundary.
