I have a button setup to turn on a trigger_hurt to kill players in a certain area. I need the trigger_hurt to turn off after .001 second delay. Right now, all I have a is a button and the trigger_hurt but the darn trigger_hurt won't turn off automatically. I don't want to use a button to turn it off... How can I make it rest to off automatically?

I cannot remember how its done, but it has.
Find a prefab of a siren that resets and edit it to suit.. Hell find any prefab that resets and edit it.

first multi manager:
name: mytriggerhurt
value: .1
second multi manager
name: mytriggerhurt
value: .2
The second entry would turn it off. Then you make a button to target the multi managers. I will try it later and post the results.

I couldn't find any prefab and didn't feel like decompiling crossfire. I didn't want anything with a warning siren and delay like crossfire. No worries but I think the simple answer for me was to add two multi_manager entities with the same name for the trigger hurt. first multi manager:
name: mytriggerhurt
value: .1
second multi manager
name: mytriggerhurt
value: .2
The second entry would turn it off. Then you make a button to target the multi managers. I will try it later and post the results.

I'm pretty sure you can do this with a single Multimanager. Simply put the target name of the trigger_hurt in twice, with two seperate values. The first value is the ON time and the second entry would have the OFF time. So it would be something like this in the MM:
Keyvalue: Value:
deathbox 0
deathbox 10
That should turn the hurt on instantly (0) and then off ten seconds later (10).
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
It's really six-in-one-hand, half-dozen in the other, but rolling the functions into a single MM will save on entities in your map and make the logic flow a little easier to follow (if you ever want to come back to it an use it as a prefab).

for some reason the second entry gets changed from deathbox 10 to deathbox#1 10. I make the proper additions, everything looks proper and then I close the property box for the entity. I reopen the property box and deathbox 10 is changed to deathbox#1 10.
Any ideas why it does that or is that something it is supposed to do?

Maybe its the number values. Perhaps its supposed to be 00 and 10. Just guesses.

That is normal and doesn't effect the keyvalue you put in. The #1, #2, ect. are there to help you keep track of multiple keys of the same value. Here is an example of a multimanager that opens and closes an air lock door and runs several other effects:
In the example, the MM is running two differnt doors (airlock1a and airlock1b), and it is also locking three control panels (al1exitlockmm, al1outlockmm, and al1enterlockmm). At 0, the three locks are toggled on, and at 12.5 they are toggled back off.
Hope that helps,
