Wink  How do I use particle system for this scare?

Ok I am working on my custom story and I need someone to help me figure out how to create banging on a particular door (like someone banging a door very hard) and I know you have to use particles to do it but I have no idea how. Can someone tell me how?

Im not sure this is what you mean, but you can SetPropHealth("door", 0.5f); and that would bang the door pretty hard (might break it a bit)

Set a script area near the door the the player will walk into the activate the script and name it "bangarea". Go into the script and try this (fill in capitalizations with your own info):

//________________________________

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "bangarea", "bang_func", true, 1);
}

void bang_func(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("DOORNAME", 10, 10, ""); //This makes the player turn to the banging door
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "BANGINGSOUND.snt", "DOORNAME", 0, false); //The sound of the thuds. Find which one you like best.
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_break_mansionbase_wall.ps", "DOORNAME", true); //The debris off the door. You can change the .ps if you don't like this one.
AddTimer("", YOURTIME+f, "lookawayfromdoor"); //This timer leads to the "look away" script to stop looking at the door and giving player control.
}

void lookawayfromdoor(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}

//_________________________________

Remember, in the timer, to put the amount of seconds you want to stay looking at the door. an example of this would be: 1 or 1.2f, understand?
