One of the cool feature in True Combat is the possibility to create breakable elements. It allow the player to destroy things. As usual, you can find the sources below:
Setting a breakable element
Define a breakable element in True Combat is quite easy. the steps are really simple. The first thing you need to do is to create a new func_breakable entity, like shown on this picture.
Then you will get a cube into the map and a new entite in the tree view. At this point you can click on the ” specific /arguments” panel for this entitie. like on this picture:
There is four type of breakable elements. Each type is defined by a number.
- 0 = glass (default)
- 1 = wood
- 2 = bricks
- 3 = ice
When the element breaks, it emit a sound. That’s why you have foor type of breakable element.
Of course you can set a wood box with a type of 0 ( glass ) but i never saw a piece of wood emit the sound of a broken glass…
So to set the type you want, you have to enter the number into the “Arg” cell of the “type” row.
Juste under “type” there is “health”. i know you already understand what it mean: you can set an amount of damage before the entities break. For a wooden box, 500 is a medium value. you should try by yourself.
You can also respawn the item by checking the respawn flag. then you have to define a duration before it respawn (the “wait” argument).
NOTE: unfortunately you cannot mix entities into another entities. This mean that you can’t create rotating door with breakable glass.
Cool! Now what?
What now what?
Now can destroy anything in a map; and that is fucking cool !
