func_breakable not working properly

[squiciene]

it makes the object that is breakable, invisible & no breaking sound

I've seen this on some EF maps,

I don't think I actually added that bit of code, although I don't remember. been a long time. . If I remember correctly it worked a bit differently than ef.

Here is what we had on the breakable objects:

Mappers need to first, make it a func_door(anything will do) then press “n” and change the func_door > to func_breakable, or optionally edit the “entities.def” file and add in func_breakable, so you can just > > select it from the normal drop down list in Q3Radiant. They also need to set the life of the glass by > > > pressing “n” while selecting the entity and in the key box type in “health” and in the value box type in > whatever NUMBER of life it should have. If you dont it defaults to 5 life.

Your mapper needs to add the ifx.shader into their base/scripts directory

You will want he/she to edit the shaderlist.txt in their base/scripts directory and add at the VERY
bottom ifx

Your mapper needs to have done that so upon compile it does the lightmap and everything correctly.

Not being a level designer I don't know the specifics of what varies between ef and trep. Does the above work?

There was an old test map called glass_test which the glass doesn't break, If I remember correctly that was just to test the glass shader. Are there any stock trep maps that have breakable glass? For the life of me I can't think of one.

Ok.. I did add it in...

At a bit of a loss why it wouldn't work though:

`oid SP_func_breakable( gentity_t *ent )
{
int health;

// Make it appear as the brush
trap_SetBrushModel( ent, ent->model );

// Lets give it 5 health if the mapper did not set its health
G_SpawnInt( "health", "0", &health );
if( health <= 0 )
health = 5;

ent->health = health;

// Let it take damage
ent->takedamage = qtrue;

// Let it know it is a breakable object
ent->s.eType = ET_BREAKABLE;

// If the mapper gave it a model, use it
if ( ent->model2 )
ent->s.modelindex2 = G_ModelIndex( ent->model2 );

ent->use = UseBreakable; // See above -Vincent

// Link all ^this^ info into the ent
trap_LinkEntity (ent);
}
`

Can you give me a test map with some breakables on it so I can test with?

i have never altered the  “entities.def” file before, so i dont really know what all is in it. heres a copy of my test room, & a few extra textures that are used in it.  all shader functions inside the test room you should already have & should work.  if not let me know whats not working. inside the test room you will see stairs to your right of entrance.  up those stairs is a platform glass floor with all known entities from voyager except flags.  the four pieces of floor glass are all FUNC_BREAKABLE & have 100 health. each piece has a different sound attribute attached to them so they should make a sound when broken.  you cant see them but you can walk on them & when destroyed you will fall through them. another small issue i am having -  you will notice an electric field covering the entrance to a room.  i have a speaker located there that is supposed to be using a sound clip from the game that sounds like electricity.  i think it was from one of the weapons.  when i first compiled  it, the sound worked.  after i compiled it again it stopped working & i cant figure out why. the test room is attached below On Monday, December 25, 2017 8:01 AM, Shafe Shaffer <[email protected]> wrote: Ok..

can you email me that test map. it didn't show up here.

hi Shafe did you get the test map i sent again?  -  what did you think of the flag design pic i sent?  On Tuesday, January 2, 2018 9:48 PM, Shafe Shaffer <[email protected]> wrote: can you email me that test map. it didn't show up here.— You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

Yep. I got the test map, haven't had a chance to hop on there yet, working long hours this week (I am a programmer/server admin). I did look at the flags.. I'll respond to that here in a minute.

Obviously I flaked on this, when I got slammed... and totally lost what was happening... is this still an issue?
