Ok, I have a wire, starting with a move_rope that is connected with a keyframe_rope.

The keyframe is the child of a small nodraw physbox.

The pysbox is also the parent to a env_spark, env_physexplosion, and a trigger_hurt.

I set up a logic timer to fire the spark and explosion at the same time randomly. That seems to work just find, there is a spark, the explosion moves the physbox (along with its children). Only problem is that the wire is not connected!

Any one have any ideas how I can achive this? Maybe there is a better way to do it alltogether?

Brainstorm! thanks

Make the func_physbox itself the next keyframe of the rope and try again, works for me (though Hammer doesn't want to draw lines between them?)

To add to Leperous's answer, add a env_spark entity parented to the loose physbox, and also add either a phys_spring or a phys_lengthconstraint to have the wire dangle (maybe use a phys_spring for a bouncy wire)
