Hello everyone !
I'm doig a little map and I'd like to know
How I can do the fling for a gel ?
I know there is a way for players an objects with a trigger_catapult
But can we , with this way, make some gel flinging ?
or do we have to set the angle of the plateform, try, correct it, try again ......
Or is there an other way ?
Thanks

I don't think so. I think you will have to solve it yourself. But you don't really have to do brute force, just use the equations for projectiles.

If it fits in your map, you could use prop_paint_bomb as well, as it reacts to the trigger_catapult.
