live wire

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?)

oh yeah! thanks lep. Lets see if that works.

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)
