A Guide to Manually Spawning the Tornadoes
Press F10 to open the console:

Here's an example of what to type

Example: ent_fire f0_d_b enable

-Must end with _b.

-must be enabled, this entity is a timer that controls the entity group.

This is the name of the timer that controls the spawning of the tornado particles, the sound, and the forces. It randomly picks a time from 2 to ten minutes. Messing with other timers may break something! So just use the B category ones.

Ranging from A to G there are seven tornadoes planned for each level of the Fujita Scale.


***I DO NOT ADVISE SPAWNING MORE THAN THREE TORNADOES AT ONCE. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR GAME CRASH. THE ENGINE IS OLD AND CAN"T HANDLE EXCESSIVE PHYSICS MOTION.***

I am not a coder, I am not making another gDisasters. I was working on this before gD was even in development. I've spent six years of my life learning this engine and I'm exhausted with it. I will make changes as I see fit, but this map is already pushing the limits of Source so I'm sorry but no. I just wanted to make my own version of a map series I liked as a kid.

An alternative to this if you want a random tornado to spawn then go into your console and type:

ent_fire tornado_timer enable; ent_fire tornado_timer firetimer

these 2 chained commands will trigger the tornado spawn process including the EAS And the randomizer that chooses what category will spawn. the TVs will active roughly 5 seconds after using the command.

Still gotta give my thanks to star for his work after all these months of GMTs release:steamthumbsup:

does anyone know if there is a code to spawn a tornado emergency?

It's just the f5 eas. So type ent_fire eas_timer_f5 enable. I tried firetimer and it never works so I'd use enable.

Is there a way to spawn two of the same tornado at once? I ended up with two hailstorm hill tornadoes (one spawned by me and one naturally spawned) and it looked frickin' awesome, and I want to do it again.
