/*QUAKED func_button (0 .5 .8) ? deactivated FIREONLY FIRE_MULTIPLE x x x
When a button is touched, it moves some distance in the direction of it's angle, triggers all of it's targets, waits some time, then returns to it's original position where it can be triggered again,
unless it's a pressure plate, in which case it will not return to it's position until it's not being touched anymore.
FIREONLY - has to be killed, touching won't do it.
FIRE_MULTIPLE - can be shot over and over (give it a high health)
"mass" amount of mass a plate must have on it to fire-this can be cumulative so you have to put more than one thing on pressure plate to work (default 0)
NOTE:
Player mass ~= 60-80
Normal barrel mass = 75
Normal barrel mass = 85
Indestructible barrel mass = 95
"angle" determines the opening direction
"target" all entities with a matching targetname will be used
"speed" override the default 40 speed
"wait" override the default 1 second wait (-1 = never return)
"lip" override the default 4 pixel lip remaining at end of move
"health" if set, the button must be killed instead of touched
If something is blocking the spawnspot, this will telefrag it as long as it's not a living entity (flags2&FL_ALIVE)
You can set up as many spots as you want for it to spawn at and it will cycle
between these. Make them classname func_monsterspawn_spot and
their spawnername has to match this entity's spawnername.
You can control the order in which they are used by setting thier
aflag (1, 2, 3, etc- there is NO ZERO, that's for you designers!)
You should give the spawner an aflag too if you want it's origin
included in the cycle of spawning, but if there are no spawn spots (just a spawner), no aflag is needed anywhere.
WARNING!!! If you forget to put spawnspots and you give the spawner a spawnername, it will go into an infinite loop and the Universe will cease to exist!
If you only want monsters to spawn at the monster spawner origin, then don't worry about aflags or the spawnername, it will know... It's that cool.
The Monsters will be spawned at the origin of the spawner (and/or spawnspots), so if you want them not to stick in the ground, put this above the ground some- maybe 24? Make sure there's enough room around it for the monsters.
ONDEATH = only spawn the new monster after the last has died, defaults to FALSE (doesn't wait)
TRIGGERONLY = Will only spawn a monster when it's been used by a trigger. The default is continous spawning.
wait = time to wait after spawning a monster until the next monster is spawned, defaults to 0.5 seconds. If there are multiple spawn spots, this will be the time between cycles (default 0.5)
cnt = number of monsters, max to spawn, defaults to 17 (no reason, just like that number!) If there are multiple spots, this should be the total off ALL the spots, including the spawner itself.
aflag = order in the spawning cycle
spawnername = spawnspots to look for- be sure to make spawnspots!
targetname = not needed unless you plan to activate this with a trigger
There will be a test on this on Thursday. Interns are NOT exempt.
All this does is mark where to spawn monsters for a spawn spot.
You can set any monster type for each spawnspot.
Just make the spawnername of this entity equal to the spawnername of the spawner and the spawner will cycle through all it's spawnspots in the world.
If you don't set the aflag, the spawn spot will NOT be used.
Note that if you set a trigger to activate this spawnspot, you can have it turn on and be included in the spawner's cycle, but you still always have to set the aflag.
aflag = order in the spawning cycle, you MUST set this, or it's useless.
cnt = number of monsters this spot will spawn, defaults to 17.
spawnername = this HAS to match the spawner's spawnername!
wait = how long the minimum interval should be between monster spawns for THIS spot.
targetname = used if you want this to wait to be activated by a seperate trigger before being included in the spawning cycle.
You need to have an origin brush as part of this entity. The
center of that brush will be the point around which it is rotated.
It will rotate around the Z axis by default. You can
check either the X_AXIS or Y_AXIS box to change that.
BREAK makes the brush breakable
REVERSE will cause the it to rotate in the opposite direction.
GRADUAL will make it slowly speed up and slow down.
TOGGLE_REVERSE will make it go in the other direction next time it's triggered
KEEP_START means it will return to it's starting position when turned off
"speed" determines how fast it moves; default value is 100.
"dmg" damage to inflict when blocked (2 default)
"lifetime" this will make it stop after a while, then start up again after "wait". Default is staying on.
"wait" if it has a lifetime, this is how long it will wait to start up again. default is 3 seconds.
"thingtype" type of brush (if breakable - default is wood)
"health" (if breakable - default is 25)
"abslight" - to set the absolute light level
"anglespeed" - If using GRADUAL, this will determine how fast the speed up and down will occur. 1 will be very slow, 100 will be instant. (Default is 10)
thingtype - type of chunks and sprites it will generate
0 - glass (default)
1 - stone
2 - wood
3 - metal
4 - flesh
health - amount of damage item can take. Default is based on thingtype
Rotates at certain intervals, and fires off when a set angle is met
mangle = desired angle to trigger at (relative to the world!)
cnt = degrees to turn each move
dmg = damage if blocked

/*QUAKED func_plat (0 .5 .8) ? PLAT_LOW_TRIGGER
speed default 150
Plats are always drawn in the extended position, so they will light correctly.
If the plat is the target of another trigger or button, it will start out disabled in the extended position until it is trigger, when it will lower and become a normal plat.
If the "height" key is set, that will determine the amount the plat moves, instead of being implicitly determined by the model's height.
Trains are moving platforms that players can ride.
The targets origin specifies the min point of the train at each corner.
The train spawns at the first target it is pointing at.
If the train is the target of a button or trigger, it will not begin moving until activated.

"distance" - in pixels, how far to move
"speed" - how fast it moves between spots (default=100)
"anglespeed" - how fast it rotates to a new angle (default = 100)
"wait" - -1 will make it stop forever, -2 will make it blow up (you can put the waits on the pathcorners and it will take the wait from there.
"pausetime" - How long to wait after getting to the end of it's path before blowing up, default is 0
NOTE: If you give it a wait of -2, be sure to set the thingtype.
thingtype - type of chunks and sprites it will generate
0 - glass
1 - grey stone (default for trains)
2 - wood
3 - metal
4 - flesh

13 - wood stone
14 - metal stone
15 - metal cloth
The train will modify it's angles by whatever angles it's next path point has, so if it heads towards a path corner with an angle of '0 90 0', the train will rotate '0 90 0' on it's way to the pathpoint. If you make the anglespeed the same as the angle, the turn should finish right as the train gets to the new spot.
NOTE: A path_corner using spawnflag "SYNCH" will make the train automatically calculate a new anglespeed based on the distance it's going and will finish the turn at the same time the move is done.
As usual, any rotating brush needs an origin brush.
"abslight" - to set the absolute light level
if TRAIN_GLOW is checked, changes to a light globe sprite and lights up an area
Only one other object in the world should have the same netname. If not, it will find and use only the first one it finds!
If you're making multiple sawblades, for instance, label the mover and the rotater "sawblade1" for the first one, "sawblade2" for the second, and so on.
If you give it a targetname, it will wait to be activated, this can be seperate from the object it's attached to.
It will not do damage until it's been activated.
NOANGLECHAIN = Setting this flag will stop it from modifying it's angles by the owner's angles, but will still movechain.
dmg = How much damage it should do when it touches.
noise = Noise it should make, if any, be sure to set the wait time
noise1 = noise it should make when it hits something
wait = Length of the sound so it knows when to loop it.
avelocity = The direction and speed it should spin: pitch yaw roll (this is relative to it's own axis, not the world)
netname = the name of the object it's linked to, that object must have a matching netname!!!
Needs something to tell it to stop?
A way to make it die at the end of a path or if triggered again?

/*QUAKED trigger_fan_blow (0 .5 .8) ?
Will blow anything in the direction of the func_rotating it's targeted by.
Note that clockwise rotation pulls you towards it, counterclockwise pushes you away- func_rotating design should match this.
To use, target this trigger with with the func_rotating (do NOT target the func_rotating with the trigger!!!).
Then place this trigger so that it covers both front and back of the "fan" and extend it as far as you want it to have influence.
Variable sized trigger. Triggers once, then removes itself. You must set the key "target" to the name of another object in the level that has a matching
"targetname". If "health" is set, the trigger must be killed to activate.
If notouch is set, the trigger is only fired by other entities, not by touching.
If monstertouch is set, only monsters can set of the triggers
If deactivated is set, trigger will not work until it is triggered
if "killtarget" is set, any objects that have a matching "target" will be removed when the trigger is fired.
if "angle" is set, the trigger will only fire when someone is facing the direction of the angle. Use "360" for an angle of 0.

lighttoggle = It will toggle on/off all lights in a level with a matching .style field.
.style = Valid light styles are 33-63.
.lightvalue1 (default 0)
.lightvalue2 (default 11)
Two values the light will fade-toggle between, 0 is black, 25 is brightest, 11 is equivalent to a value of 300.
The lightvalue of .style will always start with the lightvalue1 of the FIRST trigger or button spawned with that .style.
.fadespeed (default 0.5) = How many seconds it will take to complete the desired lighting change
If you turn on lighttoggle, you MUST give this trigger a style value or it will turn on and off all the "normal" lights in the level (hey, maybe that's what you want!)
If you give a .style value between 0 and 32 it will change one of the preset lightstyles.

/*QUAKED trigger_deactivate (.5 .5 .5) ? ONCE RELAY x deactivated
Acts as an intermediary for an action that takes multiple inputs.
nomessage = it will print "1 more.. " etc when triggered and "sequence complete" when finished.
ordered = things must be triggered in order to make the counter go off
always_return = Buttons will pop back to ready position even if successful (default is that they stay down once correct combination is found)
- The triggers that trigger the counter need to be ordered using the "aflag" field
- The first trigger is 1, second is 2, etc.
- If a trigger is hit out of order, the counter resets
- Triggers need a name in their netname function, the same name must be in the counter triggers netname fields (the target of the counter should NOT have a netname field, only the things triggering the counter)
- Count must still be the number of triggers until the counter fires, minus 1 (don't ask why)
"wait" = how long to wait after successful before giving it another try. Default is -1, meaning it works once and shut off. If you specify a wait time, the trigger will become a multiple trigger.
"mangle" = This entity has the ability to have a non-sequential sequence of numbers as a combination using mangle.
The format is like a vector, for example, if you want the counter (ordered) to work only if the cnt order of 3, 5, 7 is used, enter the value "3 5 7" (no quotes).
A trigger_combination_assign trigger can pass it's "mangle" value to trigger_counter when it uses it.
This way you can have a number of different possible combinations that could be used and only one wouldbe right (depending, say, on which path the player took).
The values can be as high as you like (okay, from 1 to 65336), so you can have any number of buttons in this puzzle.
After the counter has been triggered "count" times (default 2), it will fire all of it's targets and shut off, unless you specify a wait time.
This will reset a trigger_counter to start counting again as if it hasn't been used yet. Useful for when you want a counter to count more than once but the counting can be interrupted.
It will reset the counter but not USE the counter (it WILL use other targets normally, however).
Otherwise, it behaves just like any other trigger.
Giving it a wait of -1 will make it only work once.

You do not need to specify how many children the trigger has
Any object touching this will be transported to the corresponding info_teleport_destination entity. You must set the "target" field, and create an object with a "targetname" field that matches.
SILENT = No effect or sound
COOL DESIGN IDEA: If you like, you can use a trigger_message_transfer to change the target of the teleporter so it can go different places at different times.
If the trigger_teleport has a targetname, it will only teleport entities when it has been fired.

sets skill level to the value of "message".
Only used on start map.
*/
/*QUAKED trigger_onlyregistered (.5 .5 .5) ?
Only fires if playing the registered version, otherwise prints the message
Once this trigger is touched/used, any trigger_crosslevel_target with the same trigger number is automatically used when a level is started within the same unit. It is OK to check multiple triggers. Message, delay, target, and killtarget also work.
You can manually control the heirarchy of breaking by targeting all the brushes you want this brush to break.
If you target a light with this object and turn on the "breaklight" spawnflag, it will turn off that light when it's broken. The light will default to 300 if no lightvalue1 is given.
AUTOMATIC LINKING OPTIONS:
killall - when killed, the brush will kill all connected brushes
hierarch - link all brushes in a hierarchy. The hierarchy priority is set in the
frags field of each brush. Lower numbers will kill higher numbers. If
brushes share the same priority, they will die at the same time.
nolink - don't automatically link this brush with other brushes (use only manual targeting to link)
checkname - link brushes, but also check the name you place in the netname field.
Brushes must then not only touch, but also have the same netname to link
ordered - like hierarch, except that no matter which brush you kill, the brushes
will always break in a certain order. The order is set in the frags field.
The brush with a frags set to 1 will break first, brush with frags set to
2 will break second, etc.
OTHER FIELDS:
translucent - you can see through it
invincible - can't be shot and broken, but will break by linking
This will create a light source that will occaisionally flash with light followed shortly by an ambient thunder sound
.wait = the shorter the wait, the more active the thunderstorm. Valid values for this are 1 - 100. 100 is a stupid value because it will never thunder! Default is 33
.dmg = how often lighting strikes, 0 will be the equvalent of never, 100 will be very frequent. default is 10
.lightvalue1 = the light value the storm should always return to. Valid range is 0 - 25, 25 being the brightest. Default is 11 (about 300 brightness)
.frags = The radius in which lightning can stike from this entity. (default=1000)
The LIGHTNING spawnflag will make it cast random lightning strikes
NOTE: These MUST be targeted. They will never actually be used by the trigger, but targeting is required to give them a distince lightstyle
Targeting can be used to link several thunderstorms together so they all use the same lightstyle (they'll all flash at the same time)
SYNCH - Will make the train automatically calculate a new anglespeed based on the distance it's going and will finish the turn at the same time the move is done.
"speed" - how fast the train should move to this path corner. This will change the train's default speed to whatever you specify. Nice for trains that should speed up and slow down. No speed will let the train move at whatever speed it was last set to.
"angles" - how much to modify the train's angles by. So if you set it at '0 90 0', and the train was at an angle of '30 60 90', the train would rotate unitl it's angles equalled '30 150 90'
"anglespeed" - how fast the train should rotate to the new angle. Again, this will change the train's default anglespeed.
Note that the web is only 46 wide and 2 or 3 pixels thick, and 50 tall.
SOLID = Make it so you can walk on it and not pass though it.
ANIMATE = give it a slight constant animation so it looks like it's being moved by a breeze. Looks best on cobwebs and corner web.
WEAK = This will make it break apart upon touch.
TOUCHMOVE = Will cycle through it's animation once only when touched, not meant to be used with any other spawnflag
FLAT = Meant to be used with solid, this will lay it out flat (all you have to do then is give it it's yaw angle) and adjust the bounding box size so it can be walked on.
NOTRANS = No translucency, totally solid coloring
FEILDS:
-----------------------------
abslight = Spiderwebs may need to be brighter or darker than their surroundings to look best.
health = default is 0, which means it won't take damage, otherwise, you can shoot it away or, if it has low health, you can break it by landing very hard on it
skin = default is 0
0 = many little spider webs
1 = corner web, will appear in right side of the front of the box.
2 = cobwebs, light and very nice looking
3 = One giant web
4 = One big-ass web, 15 times normal size.
scale = scale it up or down, note that this defaults to 1, and the maximum is 2.5
THESE ANGLES ARE RELATIVE TO IT'S FRONT (given by angle at bottom)
v_angle_x = how much pitch to tilt it front-back
v_angle_y = how much yaw to turn it (same as angle field at bottom)
WARNING!: Putting too many exploding barrels next to each other will cause a crash, there is no way around this, so if it happens, it's to be considered a Designer error!
Putting them in lines and chains seems to be ok, as long as you don't stack them or group them too closely, more than 4 in a tight group is probably pushing it.
ONWALL = Spider can wait on a wall or ceiling and jump down then it finds an enemy or is triggered. Put the spider next to a wall or cieling and face him away from the surface you want it to hang from.
IMPORTANT! Put ONWALL spiders 8 pixels away from the wall you want them to be on, or they'll be all screwed up!
