How do I make mines that set off when anyone steps on it?

They are, but they only set off when the opposing team steps on it. I would like it for anyone who steps on it to explode.

The only parameter relating to the way the ordnance triggers seems to be TriggerContact, but I'm pretty sure setting it to 0 just makes it explode when its lifespan elapses. I'd try it anyways, though, just to be sure.[color=#FFFFFF]Weapon_Notes.txt[/color] wrote:EntityMine ("mine"):
GeometryName: model used for the mine
LifeSpan: maximum life time
Rebound: coefficient of restitution (like a grenade)
Friction: coefficient of friction (like a grenade)
ExplosionTrigger: explosion used when triggered
ExplosionExpire: explosion used when its lifespan expires
ExplosionDeath: explosion used when destroyed
TriggerContact: trigger when touched by an enemy
TriggerRadius: radius to search for enemies; the mine will trigger when an enemy inside this radius stops or moves away
SuppressRadius: radius to search for friendlies; the mine will not trigger when a friend is inside

I don't think it is triggercontact.The mines have to be on a different team. I saw this work in the hunger games during FFA mode, I was killed by my own mines because they were on a separate team.

Well then.
Not sure how one would change the team of an ordnance, though it might be possible, I guess.Re: Mine Trigger

Off-topic: Why did I just watch that? I don't even know.

Maybe something like affect friend??
btw what means
TriggerSingle = "0"
and
TriggerAll = "1"
btw what means
TriggerSingle = "0"
and
TriggerAll = "1"

Nah, AffectFriend only works for emitter ordnance.

Hm. I tried making him lay two mines, one from each team, but then it just exploded 
That's alright, thanks for the help AND trippy 7 minutes of my life

Wait, how are you determining the mine's team? Also, you'd probably want to set the team to neutral (0).

With the team set to neutral, neither sets it off.

Hmm. Set up a local team, make it so it views teams 1 and 2 as enemies, and set the mine's team to the local team.Re: Mine Trigger

Now my player explodes as soon as he lays it

Ah, yeah, makes sense. :p Since there's no real way to delay the trigger activation, you're going to have to either increase the MinStrength and MaxStrength for the dispenser so that the mine is thrown far enough away from the player, decrease the TriggerRadius, decrease the ordnance Velocity, or a combination of the three.
Edit: Actually, you *could* just make it so the unit dispensing the mine is immune to mines.

Maybe change this lines in your mine's odf to:
I think it could work. I am not sure.
Code: Select all
TargetEnemy = "1"
TargetNeutral = "1"
TargetFriendly = "1"Re: Mine Trigger

That's what I did before, but I exploded on myself

Those aren't valid parameters for ordnance ODFs.
