[SOLVED] Instances activating other instances
Quote from infinityedge on August 13, 2012, 3:57 pmI have an instance with a trigger and a filter. I have another instance with a cube that is supposed to activate the trigger, but it just won't. I set up the filter to use the instance parms and I know entities from the other instance have fix-up names, but it still won't activate the trigger. If both are outside instances then it works, but without instances it's very inconvenient. Am I doing something wrong?
One instance is a "cube" dropper and the other is a "cube" button. The reason why they are set up like they are is because they aren't prop_weighted_cubes, and it is impossible to make them that because...
[spoiler]they're turrets using different models.[/spoiler]

If filtering for something else like the model isn't an option, you could try to add a @ in front of the name of the object your filtering for. This should make it keep its name.

EDIT: I'm now filtering by classname, which is a lot easier. So that's fixed!
