Func_physbox isnt an option.
Posted Aug 25, 2011
So recently on this forum, a person told me in order to mae a breakable wall i needed to set the pieces of the wall as func_physboxes. I know this is a real thing, yet when i go to my entities list, func_physbox isnt an option. ( For the record, i am trying to make a pipe but through framework squares and launch out a cube). Could i please have some help? Thank you!

The entities list only lists point entities, and func_physbox is a brush entity, meaning it has to be tied to a brush in order to exist. To create one, create the brush(es) you want to become a func_physbox (you can combine more than 1 brush into a single entity), select it/them, press Ctrl+T, and set the entity type to func_physbox. Same as making a func_detail really.

Thank You. Now as i try to use it, when i play the map the physboxs are in diffrent positions from the ones i gave them. I tried marking it as debris and adding a player clip behind it, but it doesnt work. Now i need help with this!

There should be a flag that says something like Start Asleep. Selecting it will prevent them from shifting around and getting out of position.

Don't use that flag. It makes it so that when the player touches it, it breaks. Make a logic auto that tells the func_physbox to disable motion, and then enable motion whenever you want with a trigger, etc.

Actually, the putting o sleep solved my problem, buy i havent check f touching it undoes it. I actually have it doingboth. (disabling motion and asleep and onothing bad has happened. If i just disable motion on it it doesnt work though.

Looking forward to whatever you're breaking. I've used that in a map of mine and it's always a good effect.

Uh, what about the "Disable Motion" flag?

Thank You Vordwann. Its a test chanber set during Wheatleys time running aperture. And the disable motion flag doesnt seem to work as well as the logic auto for me.
