monster_apache #

TWHL

Changes #

• Can be correctly spawned via monstermaker (notifies the monstermaker about its death). Use a custom #target keyvalue parameter so the spawned Apache has the path to follow. See Configuring the spawned monster and the flyers_demo map in the sample mod.
• Death and 50% Health Remaining trigger conditions now work for Apache.
• Apache can use Fire On Pass triggers on the path entities.
• Apache checks for potential friendly fire before firing the rockets.

New parameters #

• Rotor volume - configure rotor volume. This can also be configured via Apache.Rotor soundscript.
• Obey Trigger Mode - allows to stop and start Apache. When stopped, the Apache doesn’t play rotor sound and doesn’t attack.

Skill variables #

• sk_apache_health - monster’s health.

Reaction to use-type #

If Start Inactive spawnflag is set triggering the Apache will make it start following its path. If Obey Trigger Mode parameter is set to Yes, the Apache will stop or continue depending on the use-type and current state.

In order to remove (despawn) the Apache properly you should:

• Have Obey Trigger Mode on it set to Yes.
• Trigger the aircraft (preferebly with Off use-type, e.g. via trigger_relay).
• Kill the aircraft via any kill-target trigger (e.g. KillTarget of trigger_relay). Ideally this should happen a bit later than turning the aircraft off (e.g. in 0.1 seconds).

If you just remove the aircraft (without turning it off first) while it’s moving the rotor sound will continue playing until player saves and reloads the game.
