grenade spot

[taz-the-devil]

helllo,

i'm trying to build a small, 6 v 6 map in a real paintball (sub air) style, but now i'm trying to make a spot specialy for grenades. this wil be a small box where you can sit in and there wil be like 10 grenades in it. so jou can throw 10 grenades very fast so you can defend your base:D (in theory)

this map wil not be placed on the web with this grenade thing, but i will only use it on lan matches with friends.

now i have the question, how can i make a spot where those grenades wil come?
there that thing where you can make spots where it wil make guns and stuff, but if i use it to make grenades it wont plant the grenades on that spot.

any1 knows how i can make this work?
thank you.

>type "e"
>search "item_pballgrenade"
>click "make entity"
>click "+"
>add "type" "smoke/paint" (just one)
>click "ok"
>click "+"
>add "count" "1"
>click "ok"

For more details click the "?". You can copy the grenade now.
The grenades spawn with the begin of the round.

PS: Why you want the map just for lans?

ok thanx:D

i want this map just for lans because its a pritty noob map, (just a box, with boxes planted in it and 2 bird towers foor snipers on it. and i don't think its very fun to play this map if you havn't got a well trained team, that can work very good in teams.

but the map wil be posted on the site, but only withouth the grenade spot.

but what if i do count 10, wil it plant 10 grenades?

In the help of this entity you could find this:

"count" "1"
always spawns grenades there in addition
to the number of grenades set by the server

But you can do also 10 grens with "count" "1". Just copy the entity.

If you don't put the "count" "1" there, it will take the grenades that randomly spawn around the base and put them in your item_pballgrenade spawn.

Also, you want to be careful about spawning too many grenades, as multiple grenades going off at once can create too many entities and crash the server.

Does light-entities count to the entity-limit?
I wondered, because sometimes i had lots of light-entities, then i added 2 other entities and i reached the limit. But i could add light-entities.

I believe light entities are stripped out during the compile.  I could be wrong, though.  I pretty much always use surface and sun lighting.
