SetEntityActive("default_entity_1", false);

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_elevator_crash.ps", "Area_BreakDust", false);

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "break_wood.snt", "Area_BreakDust", 0.0f, false);

AddTimer("", 0.8, "Do");

}

void Do (string &in asTimer)
{
SetEntityActive("default_entity_2", true);
SetEntityActive("wooden_board02_*", true);
SetEntityActive("wooden_board03_*", true);
}

Well, thing is that the ceiling has to break at the same time as the sound and boards fall down, else it will look very un-natural!
But I will look for a workaround, otherwise I will just have to accept this. Smile

RE: Lag issue when triggering scripts

Well, a slight off-set of timing could be a good idea, as things collapse generally it will come in stages as one part breaking causes another to collapse etc.

How many entities being activated are we talking about here? In 10's, or 100's?

Also, is there any lag as the objects actually fall & hit the ground, or is it really just the moment they get activated?

Well, use this script if the player doesn't see the broken roof when this happens. Anyways, if the player is right there, where the script has place, lag isn't an issue.
