Call of duty bo3: ZM Debris

This tutorial shows how to create simple or advanced Buyable Debris Barrier with Sounds / FXs, all in Radiant, no scripting involved.

How it works

• The debris must at least contain:

1 x Script_model item (the object blocking the way)
1 x Script_brushmodel Clip (to block the way)
1 x Trigger_use (to buy / activate the debris barrier)

• A stock script (zm_blockers.gsc) handles all the moving, sounds and FXs

In Radiant

• The example .map for this tutorial is available HERE
• First place a model(s) to block the way of door / area and make this misc_model a script_model (best way to do this is to add "script_model" to your favorite - right click menu)

• The script_model(s) will contain most of the options for the final effect; here are the KVPs available:

script_firefx            : set to "poltergeist" (default) - This is the fx that will play on move, dont add if you dont want any
script_fxid              : set to "poltergeist" (default) - This is the fx that will play on final delete of the model, dont add if you dont want any 
script_noteworthy        : set to "jiggle" if you want the model to jiggle a bit before the move
script_transition_time   : this is the time for the move, can be used to create staggered move effect if more than one script_model

• Next create a brush with CLIP texture to block the door / area from player + zombies:

• Now drop a Trigger_use on top of the blocker model, making sure that it protrude enough for player to get the Trigger Hint:

• The trigger needs a few KVPs to work, they are as follow:

targetname == zombie_debris
zombie_cost == Cost of the debris - optional
script_flag == This should be set to zone the debris is opening up (example: "enter_second_zone") - optional

• Next drop a script_struct, this will be the end point for the debris to dissapear. You can either put it way high or put it visible to the player, like in the demo provided.

• Finally you need to connect a number of things for the setup to work:

Connect/Link the Trigger to the script_model(s)
Connect the script_brushtmodel to the script_model(s)
Connect the script_model(s) to the script_struct (can be one for each debris model)

Tip: You can save the setup as a prefab if you want to re-use it

• Save and compile your map, the debris barrier should work like this:
