Well, if you want the gonome to work in your map, you have to make your own mod directory and use the OppFor dll for that.

If you use custom models, yes.

As for the model field propertie, always enter this:

models/alien.mdl

It always starts with models/

Place your models in your moddir.models directory. Like:

valve/models
cstrike/models
tfc/models

Etc.

No really.

Ask permission first before modifying Ambient.Impact's model(s) and putting them into our mod.

entitys doesn't count as VIS in HL1?

Brush based entities (func_wall, func_door, (func_rotating etc) don't block vis leafs. If you have a lot of detailed architecture, func_wall them, making compile times a lot faster, but don't overdo it.

in leak! Post #140607

Using the pointfile to find leaks isn't that hard, but if you got leaks all over your map, it could get confusing.

When you order Hammer to open the leak file, Hammer askes you if you want to open mapname.pts. Select no, and browse to mapname.lin. This'll give you a better result. The leaks is near the red part of the line.

A brush with a switch texture (entity: func_button)
A brush with a texture of a power light, wich starts as the off version.

Make these a func_wall and name them the same. When targetted, they will change texture.

So let me get this straight. What you want is this:

When you hit the button:

the texture changes from off to on.
The light changes color (red to green?)
actiavte an env_shake

Right?

And MuzzleFlash, what level of credits do you plan to have in the beginning? like just our TWHL names or like the whole shabang of credits. I plan on having everything at the end but with the:
firstname 'TWHL name' lastname
thing(unless you don't want your name attributed to a great game )

Do you mean something like this: during the intro map, which im making, all out TWHL names apprear on the screen. Im not going to use texture for those, because i have a moving camera sequence. And then in the final credits map, we can have our first name - TWHL name - last name.

Im ok with that.

I don't understand your sentence either, Elon.

Keep in mind, that i'll judge the entries on the following aspects:

Level design (No blocky rooms/brushes)
Detail
Texturing
Entity work
Third party area's (not required, but it adds in the overall gameplay)

But the top four aspects are most important.

in Locking door Post #139190

Alternately, you can give the door the name 'locked' so it's always locked (thanks to Muzzle for that one ).

Naming the door 'locked' (target name) won't actually make it locked. To make a locked door, without the ability to ever open it, use these properties:

(func_door_rotating)
name: dummydoor
speed: 0
delay before close: 0
Locked sound: Latch Locked
Distance (deg) 0

With these properties added to the door, the door never will open, and when you touch it, you will hear the locked sound.

Use a multisource and fill it's name in in the master property of the door. Now set up an env_global and set the global state of that multisource off whenever you trigger the env_global. Trigger the env_global by the switch and you can lock the door.
Basically, the state of the doors master (the multisource here) controls whether it can open or not. The same can be applied to buttons and a lot of other entities.

Sigh. And again: you don't need an env_global to achieve that effect! All you need is:

The locked door
A lock
One multisource

Required properties to fill in:

The locked door:
master: lock_ms

The lock:
target on break: lock_ms

The multisource:
name: lock_ms

What will hapen:

When you destroy the door lock with your crowbar or any other weapon, it'll target the multisource, and the multisource will target the door making it unlocked.

I haven't tested this yet, but i used this method before, and i believe this is the way to do it.
