Triggers Activated by Force Push?

[Newbie1]

How do I cause a trigger to be activated by Force Push?

 

I Have fire effects linked to light source & want them to be switched off with force push then reactivate after a delay.

[idontlikegeorge]

hmm. do trigger entities not have the force_activate checkbox like doors?

Thanks for the hint. I am new to this hence Newbie1

[idontlikegeorge]

well, im not sure there IS that checkbox hehe. and since i dont got any radiants installed, i guess ill use you to check it hehe.

I have looked at all of the available trigger entities & cannot find a check box or reference to force push activation.

 

There is USE or FIRE but nothing related to force powers.

 

How is this? - On the Yavin FInal Level of SP, Force push is used to extinguish the flames for a delayed period & stop the flame_busrt effect & On Nar Shaddaa force push is used to activate the switches which redirect the garbage float to the end of he level.

it is possible just that i dont think anyones realy tryed to do it.

i guess you could put a small invisible door in front of the button, that uses force_activate, and have the door target the trigger.... ?

How about func_static? I've never tried it, but it has f_push and f_pull spawnflags.

Thanxs for the Heads up all those who replied. I left that switch on hold for the moment while I script cinematics for all previous this point. Once I get my head round it I will post the simplest method I come across any case anyone else has similar queries.

 

There are a lot of genuinely helpful people who will make an effort & a contribution!

Hmm i have a question thats like that but... Is there a way that a brush can be pushed or pulled all over the map, not just in set areas?

Why not try to give the item the same spawn flag?.

I'm working on a map with a button that I want the player to be able to use with either the Use button or with a Force Push. What I did was make part of the button a func_usable (to switch the lights back and forth when the trigger fires) and part of it a func_static with the f_push flag checked. When you point at it from a distance (which is where you'd need to Push from anyway) you get that swirly blue Force cursor.
