hmm well thnx for the tips but just in case to save time is their sum example map wer sum1 has built it all for u lol
well not what the title kinda means cause i want to no if u can use models say from sven co-op like the lapd robot thing cause it looked cool and i wanted to use it unless that is they have put sum kind of copyright on it cause that would be very sad 
yeh as the title says i was first amazed wen i played half life and at the beggining u ride a train which was pretty amazing bak then to me but now that i learnt you can make maps an mods just like that 'click' i wasnt so amzed but now im puzzled by a few thnigs that haunt me for years! i felt like playing half life again and didnt no how much i missed it lol. 
i saw sum of the old tricks that scared the crap outta me like wen walls break and headcrabs jump at you or explosions wen u least expect it which makes half life great. so straight to the point i was riding the train again and observed all the tricks they did and thought yeh i could do sum of that but the one thing i said to myself was how do i make the train shape/ brush cause it isnt exactly easy now is it , also the track seems kinda hard and finally after you get off the train the barney lets u out and opens the huge door which spins those wheels around and i was wondering how did they do that. once u hav read all this could yall reply and give me tips or tut links etc
thnx
habboi
p.s. any1 no the name of the mod wer my pic comes from cause i 4 got and it was pretty funny

oohh what kind of mod and whats it bout cause im interested in other peoples work
cause u must not hav a G:/ on ur comp so u assign it to c:/ or sum other drive but maye im wrong and as soon as i post this the brain guys will hav a go and start saying wrong wrong blah blah :
u may not have set it properly
the purpose of the loader modle was when your on the train at the beggining and the point was that you couldnt touch it otherwise you would see that you can walk through its legs etc so its mainly used wen u can see it but cant touch it if u no what i mean :
umm basically i want to make a cliff that surround my map and i was wondering what do i use to make terrain (is it the terrain generator thing and if so where can i get it)?
u can get them from a sit but since i 4 gt the site i am just going to say search google! 
whats a grate anyway :
well i got it to work kinda the sound plays as soon as the map starts and only plays once but i want it to play continuesly also it seems to have stopped my loader from moving to the path_corner :
im still having problems though
] map modeltest.bsp
Error: server failed to transmit file 'sound/C'
Error: server failed to transmit file 'sound/C
any idea cause im stomped
] map modeltest.bsp
Error: server failed to transmit file 'sound/C'

any idea cause im stomped
mine does that too so i just ignore it and it works fine i mean if u cant even tell a green box is the player start well then...
ok thnx
u could just use the blue(invisible) from the textures and edit that copy it and paste onto ur leaf and hopefully should work 
are u sure that the triggers target is the same as the env_message cause u can make mistakes sumtimes lol
umm if u read this this is my first help lol anyway wen u post those screenies could u put ur best pics ok i wanna see how good u are!
i think what his done is that like most of us he started his first test map by making a hollow cube with the aatrigger everwhere like it says to do on the begginer tut so i dont know what is wrong with his aatrigger but the only way i would do it was make another hollow cube but instead of using aatrigger as your main texture select another pre-made half life texture or if ur clever use ur own textures that u make in wally or expert program (forgot wat it was called) and if it works wit the other texture then their must be sumthing wrong wit ur aaatrigger texture and i would suggest either go to options in hammer and remove the half life texture.wad and then add it again to see any difference if not well im stumped
any other suggestions people? :

well i kind of deleted the ambiant entities and to be honest im not quite sure how i should set it all up heres what i got at the mo as a test
i have the model loader.mdl and i set 2 path_corners so it would walk from one end to the other and that seemed to work fine!
i soon realised there was no sound and well i kinda dont know how to add sound! and even if i used say an ambiant_gen how would i assign that to the model so as u can see im very confused but if i can figure this out i will surely be happy and the rest of mapping will be a sinch!

its never happened to me but i downloaded a map from uncomplete section and wen i tried to start it it came up with the same message and i think youll find that aaa trigger shouldnt really be used as a texture but truly for triggeres hence the name aaatrigger but it seemed to work for me even though i used aaatrigger as a texture so im not quite sure whats wrong wit your map so it must be as rabid says and it has to be corrupted so i suggest installing again if you have found the problem that is then forgot i even existed :
idd mine said argh too bright but changed to bright rain?
ok i got prob i made it walk now thnx to BJ but now i need sound for the model and the console says
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_step1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_hydra1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_step1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_hydra1.wav not precached
over and over so it must mean it cant find the sounds cause i didnt add them in the map but im still newish and im not sure how to add sounds oh and the tut doesnt make much sense to me but maybe i should use ambiant_gen who knows? :

i tried ambiant_gen (cant spell) and told it to play sound hydra1.wav and step1.wav but it didnt play it and i triggered it so wen the loader machine walks through it it starts the machine noises but no luck and by the way im still experimenting cause im kinda new on the models!! bit!! 
yep
yeh im having similar prob but i kinda solved it by putting path_corner at start and one at end of a corridor and tested it worked to my surprise but no sound obviously and i check console and says
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_step1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_hydra1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_step1.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: ambience/loader_hydra1.wav not precached
over and over so i have searched it but i cant seem to locate these sounds any idea where they are?

that happened to me too everytime i opened hammer it asked to set up in options and it annoyed me loads so i downloaded 3.5 beta and it seemed to work fine but i still kept the hammer 3.4 cause it has those premade items like furniture etc but my 3.5 doesnt weird isnt it! 
chars mate im on my way to 'making history' soon
oh and 1 more question on this topic i got the models to work now like the loader thing but now i want them to do sumthing like walk so do i use path_corner or scripted_sequence cause im just not sure ive learnt too much in one day and ive confused myself lol so could sum1 answer or send a tut
yeh i new the sentences but thnx anyway the thing is it only seems to make the scientists say one of the things e.g. i trigger the first one which is u look bad and it should then trigger the rest of them but they just stand there saying those gay lines like was the distubobalator tuned today, yes :
cool thnx 
umm monster_generic is right yes but when u want to choose a model u can only choose a mdl file but the modlels i have are in pak0 which isnt a mdl file so it wont display it and i can use the modles so i need it to be explained or is there a tut 
i tried making my sci say sumthing and it worked so now i decided to make 2 scientists talk or in my case 'cuss'. So i created 2 scis and made 4 scripted_sentences
1st= youlookbad.wav
2nd= shutup.wav
3rd=stentch.wav
4th=notcertain
so i made 4 trigger_once and hooked each one to each scriptthen i gave 2 scripts to each person so bob says 'you look terriable' and bill should say shutup, then bob goes whats that stentch and bill not certain so that was my test i did all the steps but it sorta worked i think well what happened was that bob said u look bad, then after about 20 secs later bill goes shutup and thats it ther sposed to say the rest as well
so am i lacking an entity or are the settings wrong cause im not sure and by the way if i can get this to work i can finally make my cruddy maps more interesting to my friends lol

k thnx
wow thnx grim ur explanation worked fine i got him to say that and got my friends laughing wen i made a sort of story of 2 scientists talking and cussing each other lol well thnx oh and if any1 reads this listen to grims explanation cause it works!!!
oh and if any1 reads this listen to grims explanation cause it works!!! ok i get what u lot mean and wat i did was i looked at pak0 right had loads of sounds which made me happy anywhoo the names of the sounds are sumthing like donuteater.wav but u cant type that in the scripted box so u must use the sentences am i right well anyway i am gonna test it now and see if it worked :
shame but surely u can code or sumthing to make them attack u no like use the model but giv it zombie attacks or sumthing lol
wats the proper fgd called cause i got a few infact one of which is called expert! fgd
ill be on tommorow cause getting late
also how can u use them if possible and make them attack etc i hope that doesnt need coding!!!
i got that modle viewer thing and was wondering cause wen i opened pak0 it contained loads of models and sum of which i had never seen b4 like kingpin which was displayed as a alien
path corner i think
well watever?
what sort of textures do u hav in mind cause u can use a dig or search internet etc for good picutres to use as textures!!!
sigh
i cant seem to find env_weather are u sure its not env_rain or sumthing :
nobody?
any ideas
if u are still working on it then i suggest new textures
