Explosive Cube

Creation

This assumes you have a level to put the cube in. First, make sure you have downloaded files, which are needed for creation. If you do not have these files installed, you can continue using a normal cube, but it may mislead the player into believing that it is a normal cube.

1. Create a prop_physics with the following settings:

Property Name	Value
Name	explosive_cube
World Model	models\explosivebox\metal_box.mdl

2. Create an env_explosion with these settings:

Property Name	Value
Name	explosive_cube_explosion
Parent	explosive_cube

3. Place the env_explosion in the center of the cube.

Once that simple process is completed, the cube is ready.

Triggering the Cube

Triggering the cube is very simple. Choose what you want to trigger the cube, and create three outputs. In this example, the input was a button:

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnPressed	exploding_cube	Skin	1	0.00	No
	OnPressed	exploding_cube	Break	none	5.00	No
	OnPressed	exploding_cube_explosion	Explode	none	5.00	No

Note:The delay from when the cube is primed to when it explodes does not have to be five. It can be any number you choose. Also, for added effect, you can create an ambient_generic that plays when the cube is primed.
