shotgun breaching css

So i have this door thats in a pretty tactical spot. On one side, i want a simple lock that can be shot off. I figure this could just be a prop_dynamic that upon X damage breaks and triggers the door to unlock.

But on the otherside, i want there to be no lock, BUT have it 'breachable' only by a shotty (this is CSS). Im playing around with the filters but am not sure yet, is this possible? I figure i'll need a small stopbullets brush in the door to stop anyone from shooting the lock through the door, the brush being killed when the door is breached or the lock is shot.

Any help on how to make this door?

*edit: k so it looks like the only damage filters useable in CSS are either explosion (blast) or bullets. Nothing separate for shotty.

Perhaps i could set the min damage to hurt, to very high? High enough so it would only accept the damage from a close-range shotty shell (as nothing else gives that much damage in one hit)? Or would the engine see a shell more as 10-small-bullets-none-of-which-meet-the-min-damage?

I'd just give it 500 hit points and call it a day, I mean, even in real life if you shoot a door enough it will break, no matter what gun you use.

I'd do it with a small func_breakable with the nodraw texture.

You might try doing something fancy with using multiple (say 4 or 5),
small damage-activated invisible func_buttons placed close to one
another, targeting a math_counter to check if all are activated. Then
reset the buttons with a very fast time (0.1 second?). If the counter
hits the limit, trigger the door to break.

Since only the shotguns fire multiple "bullets" at once, only a shotgun
(or multiple players firing at the same place) could trigger all the
buttons simultaneously (assuming your reset time is faster than
automatic fire). You could also use filters to filter-out blast damage
from grenades, if you so desire.

You'd also have to Kill the buttons after the break, to make sure the
player could pass through them. Or put them in at the doorframe, where
the hinges are.

Contrived, but mapping is all about contrivance.

thats crazy

crazy enough to work. I'll try it out.

Hah, sweet :smile:

If you really have your heart set on the shot gun thing, find some dmg reports on close range shotgun blast, then make a physbox or breakable with a minimum damage setting just under the shot gun damage so only a single blast of high damage will break it.

The button thing is overkill.

Infact you only really need a 200 damage filter becuase no wepons apart from the AWP will deliver that much damage with one bullet.

The set up could be a physbox that is parented to the door (so it opens with the door) but once the physbox is broken it will unlock the door from both sides

6 breakables set to disable themselves onbreak, and enable again in 0.05 sec.

Each adds 1 to math_counter (and in 0.05 secs removes 1), if counter reaches 4 it kills em all, unlocks, opens.

Ta Da, first shotgun breachable door in CS!

*edit. With a filter on bullet damage only, so hegren doesnt work. The 6-button way also disables AWPs. Only problem is if 4 guys shoot simultaneously.

I'm sure they'll do that.

"Alright, on 3!"

Trust me, it's safe.

The button thing is overkill.

Im not sure about this single situation but what i've learned about
entity overkill is that its a great way to learn about how the entities
interact with each other and how to set them up in innovative ways..
then after you figure it out you delete it and do it a simpler way =p

You dont build an atom bomb to learn about wires. Though it is a good way to learn.
