18 <br><b>Dimensions:</b> (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)
\r
20 <br><b>Game Function:</b> The target_delay trigger is an
\r
21 intermediary time delay trigger. Like a target_relay (see below),
\r
22 this can only be fired by other triggers which will, in turn, cause
\r
23 it to fire its own targets
\r
27 <p><strong>Keys</strong>
\r
29 <br><b>targetname:</b> activating trigger points to this.
\r
31 <br><b>target:</b> this points to entities to activate when this
\r
32 entity is triggered.
\r
34 <br><b>wait:</b> delay in seconds from when this gets triggered to
\r
35 when it fires its own targets (default approx. 1).
\r
37 <br><b>random:</b> random time variance in seconds added or
\r
38 subtracted from "wait" delay (default 0 - see Notes).
\r
40 <br><b>notfree:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in "Free
\r
41 for all" and "Tournament" modes.
\r
43 <br><b>notteam:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in
\r
44 "Teamplay" and "CTF" modes.
\r
46 <br><b>notsingle:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in Single
\r
47 Player mode (bot play mode).
\r
51 <p><strong>Notes</strong>
\r
53 <br>When the random key is set, its value is used to calculate a
\r
54 minimum and a maximum delay. The final time delay will be a random
\r
55 value anywhere between the minimum and maximum values: (min delay =
\r
56 wait - random) (max delay = wait + random).

\r
95 in the game: make a spawn location entity like

96 info_player_deathmatch or CTF respawn points target this entity,
\r
97 then make it target the item(s) to give to the player upon
\r
100 <li>To give items to players during the game: make a
\r
101 trigger_multiple target this entity, then make it target the
\r
102 item(s) to give to the player when the trigger is touched. This is

188 for team orders and team chat in the course of Teamplay games. The

231 a player can "see" it, and that target is the closest to the
\r
232 player, then that location message is displayed. Be
\r
233 conservative in placing location markers. Because of the way the
\r
234 location code is implemented, it causes a large amount of data to
\r
235 be transmitted regularly. It has been explained that the game
\r
236 serrver has to constantly keep track of, and update to the clients,
\r
237 a data table equal to all the location markers multiplied by all
\r
238 the players. Not only that, but it must calculate line of sight

379 and then on towards the target_position.
\r
381 <li>To make a jump pad or launch ramp, create a trigger_multiple
\r
382 where the jump must originate. Place the target_push directly above
\r
383 the trigger_multiple and place the target_position entity at the
\r
384 highest point of the jump. Target the trigger_multiple to the

393 opposed to the jump pad effect of a trigger_push). It pushes the

\r
395 a targeted target_position entity.

576 <ul><li>The path portion value of the "noise" key can be replaced by the

577 implicit folder character "*" for triggered sounds that belong to a

578 particular player model. For example, if you want to create a

579 "bottomless pit" in which the player screams and dies when he falls
\r
580 into, you would place a trigger_multiple over the floor of the pit
\r
581 and target a target_speaker with it. Then, you would set the
\r
582 "noise" key to "*falling1.wav". The * character means the current

583 player model's sound folder. So if your current player model is
\r
584 Visor, * = sound/player/visor, if your current player model is
