The Sage Of Time Moderator Posts: 501 From:West Virginia Registered: May 2000 | posted 11-11-2001 06:21 PM I'm not certain how he did that.. Although I know a way you can get a effect something like it. Place several "Grenade" objects in the area you want to explode. Then trigger them all in the area you prefer. It should cause the grenades to explode making a nice effect! I hope this helps. ------------------ IP: Logged

You could have the helicopter in a disconnected room, and trigger it when you want to achieve this effect. Hope this helps, -Raider IP: Logged

I did with the mine, but you can use it in the same room setting it as invisible... the problem is that I was not able to remesh it, as my convertor crash when he reads the textures infos... so, it can be a problem for my wad, but if the mine item cannot be remeshed, it is a problem as it takes SO MANY texture useless to the wad...

Hoko Junior Member Posts: 18 From: Registered: May 2001 | posted 11-14-2001 04:40 PM Hi, I meant "smaller" explosions, not the BIG BANG, is this possible with the "grenades trick", and how? IP: Logged
jbc21 Member Posts: 142 From:Eilat, Israel Registered: Feb 2001 | posted 11-15-2001 12:05 AM Hey!! What about the flip-effect "play an explosion sound"???? Have a look in the manual for the right flip-effect code to type in the timer slot of the trigger!!! Good luck! JB IP: Logged
psiko Member Posts: 674 From:Rome Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 11-15-2001 12:21 AM ...sorry, but do you know we were talking about an explotion?... ...that is only the sound and it is completely known... unfortunally it is not useful bob5 I am still waiting for an answer--- I got it, but only with the mine object, and it is not that optimized having an object in the wad only for that...
