HL 2 - Checking if the player has placed an entity on a location Thread

...Somthing like in hl2 where you put the battery in things, I am looking to see if the player places a SPECIFIC object on/near a SPECIFIC spot..

THANKS !!!! <!-- Start add - Bottom aligned signature MOD -->

if noone has posted how to do this before i get back i will post it up for ya :> (gotta head out right now :<)

As promised
create a physics object and name it something pretty
After that, ya have to create a trigger_multiple in the area where ya want the stuff to get triggered, enable the physics flag in the trigger_multiple
create a filter entity that only allows your entity, and add it to the right field in the trigger_multiple (trigger field) and have fun (ya add the filter to prevent other physic objects to trigger the event ya want)

cool...

Im with ya...

But the trigger system itself is some what new and scary to me..So, say once said objectin is in said place, and I want a door to open...Does the TRIGGER MULTIPLE spit out a trigger tellng teh door to open? If so...hows that all look?

make sense?
So to sum up -

Player takes , say, a body, to a specific location , once there, a door opens....

yeah, presuming ya set the logic up i posted in the other post its quite simple

edit:
the filter ya need is filter_activator_name

(if i remmber rite atleast )
set this up in the filter (not the trigger entity srry ),
output: onpass
Target entities: door
Via this input: Open

that should do the trick
