/*
This script is placed in OnUsed of the placeable tagged "pt_Chair". When the PC
clicks on the chair, the chair cries out, explodes and the PC is knocked down
for a period of 10 seconds. The chair is respawned so that this can happen
over and over....

Basically a silly little script to provide a bit of humour in modules.

Description

This is basically a silly little script that has the sole purpose of providing some light-hearted humour into your module. Enjoy...
Update (26/03/07): after reading the comments below and on the forums at the Builder's Project, I have just changed the code slightly. The only difference is the PC actually sits down before the chair explodes. I might also try and set the chance of exploding to 50/50, please continue to vote as Thanatos has done already (cheers btw) if you like it....

Thanks Neferka, I thought people had forgotten or ignored this script completely. Glad to see you enjoyed. Any chance of seeing this module of yours?

LMAO I've had loads of fun using this on a mod I made for my 5 year old daughter!

Thanks to whoever voted....I'll work on the sitting down first bit, and post it when it works...

You just don't see enough random explosions in modules these days. And making the chair explode after the PC has sat down would be awesome!

interesting twist....maybe I should get it to explode after the PC has sat down...

Sounds really funny, would be nice if the cry/exploding part had a 50/50 chance of happening ;)
