Is it possible to make a floor that breaks when you walk over it? If it is, can someone please tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance.
1. Making several world models (in the editor) that show a crumbling floor, then them as a Door or using MovingPlatform entities. You must link them together with the NextToTrigger field.
2. Making an actor (in your modelling program) that has a 'break' animation, then add it as a Pawn entity with a script so that when something touches it / is over it, so that it breaks, then the collision is turned off.
3. The third alternative would be to use a mixture of both, i think that would be harder than both of them.
No. 2 would be the easiest, i think.
The base script for the Pawn could look like this:
Code: Select all
{
Spawn[ ()
{
SetGroup("Static"); //So that enemies won't attack it
Console(true); //let's look if this script works
Gravity(false); //Gravity is off or it would fall down
LowLevel("LookIfSomebodyComes");
} ]
//A variable in which we store the thing that we detected
TRACERESULT [FALSE]
LookIfSomebodyComes[ ()
{
//this is executed every frame
//Use TraceToActor which looks if anything is in the way of it's "beam"
TRACERESULT=TraceToActor("",0,50,0); //I used an "upward beam" length 50, you should play around with it
if(TRACERESULT="Player") //we hit the Player, if you are using a ScriptedPlayer you must
{ //change "Player" to the entityname of the ScriptedPlayer
HighLevel("Break");
return;
}
} ]
Break[ ()
{
//play "break" animation for it's full length
PlayAnimation("break", true, ""); //the last parameter can be changed into a "break-sound" e.g. "break.wav"
SetNoCollision(); //fall trough now
Gravity(true); //it falls down to until it meets the floor
FadeOut(10,0); //slowly fade out (10 seconds)
Remove(true); //end script
} ]
}
