==== Dynamic Curtains ====

==== Summary ====

We can simulate the action of wind over curtains by using the plastic curtain from AMFP and the force function.

==== 1. Get the files ====

\\
You need a modified version of the curtains that better respond to force.\\
You can create your own version or just use the ones I already did in my mod. [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-raven|LINK]]

//Note: If you want to create your own version, make sure its bodies respond properly to force\\
and behave correctly when moving, no lag, no weird things. Also remove collision with player.// \\
\\
The files for the curtains are inside **/models/curtains**
==== 2. Place the curtains. ====

\\
Put the curtains wherever you want but not touching the wall or each other.\\
Then resize its width all you want, remember the model is initially thin.\\
//Note: **Curtains_Dynamic_001.ent** is transparent, the 002 is normal and the rest 003 and 004 are experimental copies, ignore those. //
==== 3. Write the code. ====

The code below starts a loop function that randomly pushes the curtains and plays the wind sound.

Open your script file and add the following line inside your OnStart() function:

<code php>
WindLoop ( "" );
</code>

Now copy&paste this other function and it's ready.

<code php>
void WindLoop  ( string &in rabbit )
{
        AddPropImpulse  ( "Curtain_1",   2,   0.5,   0, "Local" );
        PlaySoundAtEntity ( "", "TR_spooky_wind_whirl.snt", "Curtain_1", 0, false );
        AddTimer ( "", RandFloat (3,5), "WindLoop" );
}
</code>

//That's the most basic way to do it using only one curtain, from here you can add all the curtains you want by copy&pasting the PropImpulse  and PlaySound  lines.\\
Don't forget to change the name of the curtain. \\
You can also change any given value -like the force- to get better results.//

==== Extra Info ====

- The sound **TR_spooky_wind_whirl.snt ** is the wind sound I used, you can use another one, remember to change the name in the function.\\
- "Curtain_1" is the name of my curtain, yours may be different.\\
- The original code in my mod is a little more complex, you may want to take a look.

Amn.-
