By the way Damage on Crush is set to "0." Please help before compo is due please!
Is it possible to make a scientist ride an elevator without being killed? If so, can anyone tell me? 
If I were you I would use Jumbot. Much easier t install and handle. I coded 3 waypoints into maps for the first time and they worked! Very easy. Not only that, but the bots have different skill settings, easy to really hard, (really) and even chat! Get it now! 
I am making a Quake 1 style portal. But when I use a water texture for the actual portal, all I see is the top of the brush. Everything else is transparent. What do I do to make the portal goo seeable on all sides?
You have to make a fire sprite on the top of the torch, then put a light entity on the top of the torch. Also if you want sound add some sounds the the torch with the ambient_generic entity.
If you want to see what kind of sprites there are, you will need PakScape and SpriteView. Google them.
Half-Life Model Viewer also works great for exploring those paks.

If you have the original worldcraft it came with a very noob tutorial on basic stuff. It also told you how to set up Worldcraft for compiling. The set up works both for Hammer and for Worldcraft.
I have a scientis who is walking on a catwalk. A door is in his way. He needs to open the door and then walk across the next catwalk. But I don't know how to make him do more than one airscripted_sequence. He walks to the door and uses it, but then he just stands there. How do I make him resume walking? 
you have to texture a brush with the sky texture, and whatever sky in map properties you have chose will appear on the sky textured brush. The sky texture in hammer looks like a bright blue.
i have a shape with 3 verteces. How do I make it have 4?
type in sky under textures.
to change the sky go to
map
-map properties
environment map (clskyname)
type in any of the following
space
night
moring
dusk
desert
2desert
cliff
city
black
alien1

if you get hl model viewer then you can view all of these in the valve pak0.pak file.

Has GOT to be They Hunger trilogy by Neil Manke.
Plus how do you explain The gaseous planets? They don't have metal cores. I think.
No, the Earth and all the other planets are in orbit because of the sun's gravity. The Earth is spinning because of it's spinning metal core, yes. But that is not have anything to do with gravity.
Not to mention the rock would be pulled in also.
No it does not. The more mass an object has, the more gravity it has. Saturn has little gravity because it's made of gas. However Jupiter has immense gravity due to it's incredible mass. A rock floating through space would attract things, as long as these objects are less in mass than the rock. This also depends on the speed of the two objects. If a speck of dust and the rock were completely immobile (impossible though) the speck would eventually collide with the rock. However if the speck of dust is going fast enough and with enough force it will escape the rocks gravitational pull. But you also have to take into account the effect of other planets nearby and asteroids etc. effecting the speck's movement also. Say a speck of dust was 3 mm away from a 3' diameter rock. However a planet of the mass of Earth was 3,000,000 miles away from the speck of dust, then the speck would be pulled towards the planet and be incinerated by Earth's atmosphere.
That's how gravity works, my friends.
As for ghosts. Hell no.
As for Aliens. Hell yes. Somewhere out there there are beings either animals, or dominant beings either ahead or behind us.

nevermind I found out. U have to use a speaker.
I don't know how to make sentences. I looked at the example map and got nowhere. I want to know how to make those PA voices. How do I do make an announcement with a button? I have custom sentences and everything I just don't know how to execute them.
Go pakscape! I'm glad someone else uses this. 
my fist map that had a plot was this (bear with me here)
You were an assasin in an office complex. You started in a storage room and had to crawl through a vent to kill these scientists in a HUGE room with HUNDREDS of computers. Kind of dumb.
My first release was dm_2fortvox and u can download it in the completed maps section.

a dm map with monsters in single player. none in mp

erm. no it didn't. if you doun't believe me explain how the marines moved with the landscape? : : : : :
You are way off. You are'nt moving at all. The whole map is moving. Like Opposing Porce intro. I want you to teleport when the mountains reach a certain path_corner.
How do I make a path_corner's "Fire on Pass" trigger a teleport entity? When I do it it just stands there and does nothing.
Um, when you say landmarks have to be in the same place, do you mean xyz coordinates? Cause my level change won't work and you are supposed to be teleporting to the next level.
I fixed it. Wrong map in zip
I have a map in problem maps.
I have done everything correctly. i have two trigger_changelevels,
1 destination map: heli_2
2 destination map: heli_intro
landmarks in both levels. same name.
both are high and not in the ground
when I run it through the console it changes but I spawn outside the level with major visual issues. what am I doing wrong? all the stuff isn't even near the map edge.

An easy way is this. Put all of your sounds into a folder in the valvesound folder. ex. valvesoundvoxsound.
When ur mapping with an ambient_generic for the filename put
voxsound/whatupdude.wav

I have already started making something like that already... i am through with the intro phase and working on the main part, but you are not an escavation team. :
I am making a map. (Duh) I want you to start in a helicopter and after a few seconds an apache comes to take you down. After you kill that one another one comes. I tried everything but I can't get it so that when the first one dies the second one comes. I also don't know how to make a delay in the apache waypoints with a trigger_auto. They either don't do anything or go out of order. I have the map in problem maps.
Ok it works now
I just says "Found your Hostname" then does nothing
I try to connect to TWHL irc channel when I click on the IRC link on the website. I choose change servers and join the channel. it says it's logging in or whatever then it just hangs there. What am I doin wrong? How do I get to IRC?
Is anyone here in the conclave? I am and just wondering if anyone else is.
How did you make those cliffs and the textures and...and...and... DAMN GOOD!!!
Lol
Get SpriteView. very small little program. Search for it on google.
Oh and make sure the textures are divisible by 8
Don't give up half-way in the middle of making a map. Keep on going like that stupid little blue train. Even if you run out of ideas.
Carve tool is fine but don't carve complicated shapes like arches, cylenders, or spikes.

Download wally, open the .wal files, and re-save them as .wad files.
There is no leak. Tha meap isn't fullbright, it's just the water. The sewers are dark except for the water.
I have some water in some really dark sewers, but for some reason I can't figure out, the water seems to be stuck in fullbright mode. Can anyone help me?
Can you people tell me if my avatar is a Lambda pic or Dr. Franklin from They Hunger? It won't change when I upload a new one. Thanks.
So how do I show my new one in my browser?
Why can't I upload a new avatar?

How would I replace, say, a 357 magnum with a crowbar so you can get 2 different crowbars? I've decompiled them both but what I did did not work. I don't know what to do next.
I have a custom sound I put into the game. Only when it plays it doesn't loop. It has all the same settings as other sounds that aren't custom except for that it is set at "Play Everywhere." All the other sounds loop, why dosn't this one?
lol
Can anyone help me? I am looking to map some firearms maps and I can't get the compiler to compile right. Plus I have no knowledge of FA entities or anything. I need to know this info! HELP! 
So theres no way to make the direction turn with path_corners? I'mso screwed...
How do I make it so that the train banks and turns on a path_corner? I have the yaw on different angles, but it still points in the same direction.
