i tried to get emmiters to work and couldn't either.
but that's not how i got my mines to work.

i am at work and don't have the game or pak files in front of me. (not sure if they are still at home either)
but i am almost positive that i didn't use emmitters.
There is an explosion model for mines, and i think that's what i used.
try looking in models/fx/ or something like that. (if have all the game pak files unzipped, do a search through for any file that has mine in it)

what i was doing was creating a minefield. i spawned triggers at certain locations. when the triggers were tripped, the result was a spawn of a mine explosion.
you are basically trying to do the same thing, but spawning the mine explosions on a schedule instead of through a trigger.
