Request Special effects

[Mikemc]

Please suggest a special effect or device and I'll try to make it.

I think you should design a number of them for us and see how we like them rather than us asking you to make some.

Oh alright.

Satellite Laser
There is a problem where I cannot get a sound to loop while the lasers are in motion, and I think my earthquake sound is corrupt.

Wow, very interesting.

Fas-in-a-ting! Hows about a Satellite Uplink Device? Also, maybe you could see one of the Standard Quake 2 maps (Processing Plant is a good one (map fact2)) about looping Sounds.

[Paril]

it's just a target-speaker with LOOPED_ON (or LOOPED_OFF if you need it to be triggered)

[Mikemc]

I tried both looped_on/off and with reliable checked/unchecked but it would not work.
As for the uplink device, it'd simply be a key with a pedistal or whatever, set to visualy appear after you collect the key, inside or on top of the house. Maybe a laser pointer or radio like in a HL: Opposing Force level.

I didn't feel like adding all that because it was the beam effect I was after. (Which admittedly could have been beter)

I think you should design a number of them for us and see how we like them rather than us asking you to make some.

I asked because I couldn't think of anything that I haven't seen already

For the speaker, show me the entity that is compiled with the BSP.
