trigger_gravity not always working..

[Luck]

I've created a few jump pads (with trigger_gravity) and sometimes they work, but not always and that's the problem. In my map you fall down a pretty long range and then onto the jump pad. The problem is that most of the time you fall on the jump pad you instantly die or you get boosted but when falling down on it again you're dead. Any1 has some help for me?

If the fall damage is the problem, you might be able to have a trigger output IgnoreFallDamage to the activating player (!activator in the entity field), to prevent the damage alltogether.

Ok I don't really know how to do that, could you please explain what I have to enter to all these fields?

OnStartTouch -> !activator -> IgnoreFallDamage -> 5
The last value is how many seconds it can ignore the fall damage for. Make sure you have the Clients flag checked in the trigger for it to work.

reducing gravity is not supposed disable fall damage. The fall damage just wont be as much as with normal gravity.

I suggest you to use a trigger_multiple instead of trigger_gravity with those outputs:
OnStartTouch -> !activator -> AddOutput -> gravity <number less than 1> -> 0.00
OnStartTouch -> !activator -> SetDamageFilter -> FallFilter -> 0.00

OnEndTouch -> !activator -> AddOutput -> gravity 1 -> 0.00
OnEndTouch -> !activator -> SetDamageFilter -> -> 0.00

Create a filter_damage_type, and name FallFilter.
Make it filter FALL.
And "Disallow entities that match the criteria"

When the player touch the trigger, his gravity is changed, and he is filtered not to get affected by FallDamage.
Once he stop touch the trigger, he will have his gravity reset (1), and will be affected by fall damage (setdamagefilter -> nothing -> 0.00)

"!activator" and "IgnoreFallDamage" get marked red and it doesn`t work ingame. What am I doing wrong?

It works perfectly on my test map when the trigger_multiple is static, but on my map where I need it parented to a moving tanktrain it doesn't work all the time just like 2 out of 5 times. Any help?

If the trigger is moving, you have to stay inside it to keep the nofalldamage and reduced gravity.

The reason they are set red is because Hammer doesn't know that !activator exists and is a player, since it only exists in game. IgnoreFallDamage could be non-functional in CS:GO though, or maybe I misunderstood how you need it set up.

Regarding the parented trigger not working, I think there are some issues with some parented entities not working across round restarts in CS:GO. It might be worth checking whether the trigger actually gets parented properly in-game.

[Rectus]

The showtriggers 1 cvar should let you see them, and ent_messages_draw 1 can show you when it gets triggered.

[Moltard]

Use a func_tracktrain, not a tanktrain.
As far I know, func_brush is one of the only permanent brush entity.
