Emitted objects with switches

Archive: 5 posts


I've set up an object so that when you trip a proximity switch on it, an emitter on the object spawns a points bubble. I tested the object and it works the way I want it to.

I've taken that object and set it up to come out of an emitter on my map. When it's spawned this way, The switch and emitter on the object no longer work.

Does anyone know why? My best guess at this point is that switches lose their associations when they are spawned via an emitter.

Side note: be careful with the tweak settings when you use emitters to spawn objects than contain emitters... it's a great way to overheat a map!

IM not sure but if you tested it and then saved it you may have used up all the times that was set to emit the object...hope that helps otherwise sorry2008-11-02 15:22:00

Switches retain their connections when they are emitted, but the emitted object must contain both parts of the connection (The switch and whatever it activates).2008-11-02 16:04:00

My object is set up that way, though. I know the switches are triggering because I can see them light up, but nothing comes out of the emitter like it does if I just place the object into the map.

If you want to see what I'm doing, it's for my map "Balloon score challenge". I want to make the prize bubbles come out when you push the balloons away. Right now they just spawn from the wall and I think that's kind of lame. This is my first map I'm using to learn how to make stuff before I do anything more complicated, but I still want to perfect it so it's fun to play. The scoring is just one of the improvements I'm making.
