creates one hand of a clock

A func_clock is setup in the following way: First, the func_clock is setup with the correct values (it defaults to being a second hand - 60 seconds per revolution). The "target" of the func_clock points to the "targetname" of a rotate_object, which is the actual clock "hand". The "target" of the rotate_object points to the "targetname" of an info_rotate, which is the point about which the rotate_object "hand" will rotate.

"target" "event" "cnt" "count"

targetname of the actual clock hand (rotate_object) targetname of the entities to trigger when hand reaches 12 time to start at the number of seconds it takes to make a full revolution. (seconds is 60, minutes is 3600, hours is 43200). default is 60.

rotate_object, info_rotate

targets a func_oncount (?)

"target" "count" "wait" "delay"

event to trigger at each increment specifies how many times to repeat the event. If LOOP is set, it specifies how high to count before resetting to zero. Default is 10. length of time between each trigger. Default is 1 second. time to wait before firing, after being switched on

toggle loop step reset random finishcount start_on

causes the counter to switch between an on and off state each time the counter is triggered. causes the counter to repeat infinitly. the counter resets to zero after reaching the value in "count" causes the counter to only increment when triggered. Effectively, this turns the counter into a relay with counting abilities. causes the counter to reset to zero when restarted causes the counter to generate random values in the range of 1 to "count" at the specified interval. causes the counter to continue counting until it reaches "count" before shutting down even after being set to an off state. causes the counter to be on when the level starts

func_oncount, file: hipquake.zip

Causes an earthquake. Triggers targets.

"dmg" is the duration of the earthquake. Default is 0.8 seconds.

file: hipquake.zip

Spawns an explosion when triggered. Triggers any targets.

"dmg" "volume" "speed"

specifies how much damage to cause. Negative values indicate no damage. Default or 0 indicates 120. volume at which to play explosions (default 1.0) attenuation for explosions (default normal)

particles

whether to spawn particles or not

func_multi_exploder

Used to emulate collision on rotating objects.

Since the func_movewall entity does not actually rotate like a normal rotating brush (it acts more like a special func_train in its movement), to make it work properly you must use more than one func_movewall per rotating brush. How many depends on the size of the brush and the number of planes the object will be rotating in. For more information on the func_movewall and its limitations, see the third Ask the Guru entry for 03/17/97, from Jim Dosé.

"dmg" specifies the damage to cause when touched or blocked.

visible touch nonblocking

causes brush to be displayed specifies whether to cause damage when touched by player makes the brush non-solid. This is useless if VISIBLE is not set

rotate_object

Spawns an explosion when triggered. Triggers any targets, size of brush determines where explosions will occur.

"dmg" "delay" "duration" "wait" "volume" "speed"

specifies how much damage to cause from each explosion. Negative values indicate no damage. Default or 0 indicates 120. delay before exploding (Default 0 seconds) how long to explode for (Default 1 second) time between each explosion (default 0.25 seconds) volume to play explosion sound at (default 0.5) attenuation for explosions (default normal)

func_exploder

Must be used as the target for func_counter. When the counter reaches the value set by count, func_oncount triggers its targets.

"count" "delay"

specifies the value to trigger on. Default is 1. how much time to wait before firing after being triggered.

func_counter

Creates a brief particle flash roughly the size of the defining brush each time it is triggered.

"cnt" "color" "count" "noise" "dmg"

is the count to activate on when USE_COUNT is set. is the color of the particles. Default is 192 (yellow). is the density of the particles. Default is 2. is the sound to play when triggered. Do not use a looping sound here. is the amount of damage to cause when touched.

use_count

when the activator is a func_counter, the field will only activate when count is equal to "cnt". Same as using a func_oncount to trigger.

func_counter

Pushable walls. Not quite working, but fun to play around with.

Creates a door that rotates between two positions around a point of rotation each time it's triggered.

The hardest part about setting up a rotating door is getting all the "target"s and "targetname"s to match correctly. First, you have a some type of trigger (trigger_*, button, etc) with a "target" that points to the "targetname" of a func_rotate_door. The f_r_d, in turn, has a "target" which points to the "targetname" of a func_movewall (group) and a rotate_object. The rotate_object has a "target" which points to an info_rotate, which is the the spot the door will rotate around. Follow that?

"target" "dmg" "speed" "angles"

points to a func_movewall and/or a rotate_object specifies the damage to cause when blocked. Defaults to 2. Negative numbers indicate no damage. specifies how the time it takes to rotate angle to rotate to (xz xy yz)

stayopen

tells the door to reopen after closing. This prevents a trigger-once door from closing again when it's blocked.
