Breaking Glass

[TribalSphereOmni]

I know there's a tutorial on making glass break(as well as respawn) on Massassi, but I want glass to break when a player hits it, too. Is this possible? It's for a rolling mod...I think it'd be a nice touch. Thanks.

Er... for a rolling level, actually. Sorry...and also, if it's not much trouble(and if you care enough to, I wouldn't really care either way), could you make it damage health just slightly somehow? Thanks.

Post the cog you're using.

Er..it's 00_breakingglass.cog, the standard breaking glass one. I'm following the tutorial on here. If you want me to actually post the whole cog, I will, just later. I'm in a bit of a hurry now. Thanks.

And I might even wanna make it respawnable....but that dang regenerating glass tutorial doesn't help.

[[SF]pjb]

well i see it like this, make a cog based on that one, so that when you cross a ajoin just infrount of the glass, it brakes the glass and damages the player, unfortuantly altho i probley could make such a cog, its too mutch bother. i woudl sepend hours in the JK specks and sutch, just to find someone else had posted a better cog first.

I am pjb.
Another post......
another moment of my life wasted.....

Try this....
Add a touched message and add the shatter there. If you want the player to get hurt, make sure the glass doesn't have the No Damage From Fall flag on!
About the respawning, ask someone else...

I should put something in my sig declaring that I'm not a cogger...I just can't make sense of the stuff. But, I got it anyway. Heeb helped me out and modified one a bit. Much thanks to him.

If you wan't the shards to cause damage, just open your template, change type to "weapon", and add damage=x.xxx (maximum damage you want). I'm pretty sure that should do it. (don't forget to reload templates before testing!)
