Thanks for the heads up on the bug. I see someone else mentioned it on your github page now. I tried things in v0.18.1 and I don't get any warnings. Also nice to know the warnings can be ignored in v0.18.2-rc1 if I want though.

btw, thanks for all the tools ericw! 

Hi.

I want to show a long mission briefing text in a message that has to be shown at least 10 seconds.
Tried this with a brush-trigger with wait and delay but it dissapeard after 3 seconds.
Is there a way to show it longer? 

I've done this in the past by using a chain of trigger_relay entities. It's not perfect but it should work.

Give the same message to 5 trigger relays. Trigger the first in the chain with no wait value. Have this trigger_relay target the next relay and give it a wait of 2. Repeat this with the remaining relays.

It's been a while and I am typing this from memory but I believe this worked. You may need to fiddle with the wait value. Also the text is limited to a certain number of characters. Not sure how many. 

or, trigger_multiple for the text, and a silent counter that kills the trigger after X times 

@dumptruck_ds; @metlslime

Thanks for the hints.

I did the trigger_relay thing and it works.
I only got this nerve killing bing sound endless repeating.
Can I turn this off? 

it should only do it 5x - what might be happening is you are using a trigger_multiple with a short wait time.

increase the wait time to a higher number

Ok. I changed the waittime of the trigger to 10 and the wait=2 of the relays to delay=2. That works better. Less beeps. :)

Thanks. 

Teleportation And Boss Gate Help
Posted by gillandro on 2019/08/23 19:33:24

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a gate to lead to a boss, i created a separate area for the boss to be in and can't figure out how to use a teleport function to send my player to the boss room... there doesn't seem to be many tutorials about boss room teleports... if anyone has any ideas... I basically have a set of stairs with a portal, just not sure how to make it a usable object to send my character to the other room. thanks. 

answer:

a trigger_teleport pointing to an info_teleport_destination. 

Take a look at this tutorial series, particularly the entity tutorials 1-4. 

I have watched those but i wasnt sure about where in the entity spread sheet to put the target stuff or the target name parts....also in the “boss room” i place the boss entity in the map, but it doesnt show up when i run quake spasm....am i missing something there too? 

Put an info_teleport_destination in your boss room. Give it a targetname.

Create a trigger_teleport brush and set the target field to the targetname of the info_teleport_destination above.
