H2SO4 Sulphuric Acid Deathtrap
I am working on the H2SO4 deathtrap someone suggested in my other thread. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I might make the H2SO4, aka Sulphuric Acid, spray on the player when they enter the room. I have several pipes carrying the acid. What I need is to figure out how to get the "acid" to spray when the trigger activates. I can make water (toxic goo) appear to be flowing out of the pipes, but I have no idea how to make it spray. Any help would be appreciated.
I can make a particle effect for you if you want, but it'll be a bit annoying to pack with your map.

I don't really need a particle effect. I was looking more for a way to make the "water" spray out of a pipe. Obviously, I can't make the player dissolve like an object does, but I can still make the "sulphuric acid" effect in some way so that when the player dies it looks like the were dissolved by the acid.
The water spraying out of a pipe will probably be a particle effect: it allows a nice effect where you can get the water spray out of a pipe.
As for water rising due to the stuff coming out of the pipes, use a func_water_analog, the trigger that enables the particle effect should also open the func_water analog.
To damage the player, use a trigger hurt parented to the func_water_analog.

Thank you for the help. That is not a bad idea.
I would appreciate that. I will find some way to package the effect into the level.
An info_particle_system set to "sprinkler_jet" makes a pretty convincing liquid spray effect.
There is also "sprinkler_ring", which produces some nice vapour clouds and falling drops. But you have to experiment with the positioning for that one, since the drops fall in a big circle. (It's from the sprinkler system in Wheatly's "lair".)

This happens every time I run the chamber. Any idea why?
What water material are you using? is it a custom one? could you post the .vmt content?
useful tools and stuff here on TWP

[/spoiler]I am using nature/toxicslime002a. It can be found under "toxic" in the texture browser.
I have tried simply texturing the top face of the func_water_analog and the same issue occurs. I shrank the func_water_analog down to 32x32x128 and the mysterious plane disappeared. As soon as I put a brush that covered the entire room the plane reappeared. It is so annoying.
