Make a booby trap/landmine

This booby trap/landmine explodes , causes groundshake and damages the player if
he gets too close or can be shot and detonated from a safe distance .

There are two tutorials on how to make a booby trap/land mine , one for GWEdit
and one for the DOS engine , if you are using the DOS engine click here , if you are
using GWEdit see below .

Pictures

You will need 5 pictures , 2 for the mine and 3 for the explosion , for the mine I made
two pictures called booby1.vgr and booby2.vgr , I made 2 so I could have a flashing
light on the mine to denote that it was armed , it also attracts the player to it ,
booby1.vgr is a cylinder with a red light button on it and booby2.vgr is the same but
the light button is brown . The other 3 pictures are vgr's of an

explosion I called splo1.vgr , splo2.vgr and splo3.vgr. When you have made your
pictures import them into an object library as symmetrical objects .

If you want to use MD2's instead of pictures use the method described in my

Implementing MD2's tutorial .
