make wall func_breakable and make pieces brick.mdl

yeh

Oh, hang on, i got confused. I feel like such a dick. I woz looking at 'delay before trigger' and thought it delayed before teleported.

life flashes b4 eyes

PLEASE, PLEASE forgive me thy holy TWHL members.

i dont wana trigger it with a button. although a suppose i could do with another trigger.. i want to be able to stand on the trigger_teleport for 10 seconds, and it then teleport.

i want me teleport to not work immediately, ie, a trigger delay. it has this function, but it doesn't seem to work. it doesn't delay.

cheer for any help.

im off. i'll PM you 2moz with results. we'll get there eventually!?! prays silently in corner

im off now. hope i can help, and i'll PM you 2moro wif results.

sure thing

lol

yeah. gets real annoying sometimes!

alexb911@doyouwana69.wanadoo.co.uk

e-mail it to me

thats fine

Nooooooooooooooooooooo, not our beloved hammer!!!!

i'll take a look, but it wood be l8 2moro though.

post in problem maps i suppose, but that takes ages, as no1 bothers unless in good mood. I'm already stressed at Xen tranportation that good 'ole Elon 'ere set up. :

I've still had a nocompile due to badly placed fan.

cs, hl, wateva, most entities and theories are the same

do you have any fans, etc... thats wat elon is saying.

if a rotating thing goes through a blush into 'no-mans land' it causes problems. check all of these. also, any accidental doors made instead of walls. I've done this b4, and it drove me crazy!

+ try cordoning bits u fink are a prob

+ if you want to kill yourself slowly with a blunt knide, box in. cringes at the though

Entity light_spot @ ( 61, 342, 487)

check ur pointfile, + delete this, or move it out of outside world/brush

some1 got out of bed the wrong side

calm down. im taking a look!

maybe if you used illusionaries, just one unit above the ground, and then do it by func_grav, but why can't you use push?

and help me get a free computer. Join up yourself, and I will HELP you get one too!! Please do this, as I hate my computer!! Thanks alot guys, I owe you one!!

check my earlier post.

http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?pgt=1&action=viewthread&id=8645&pg=1

then try the example map. Although it didn't solve my prob, it might solve yours

cool!!!! i tried that with zombies earlier this week, but that would be cool. I try it out, an post back l8r this week.

I had that once. find your sprite location in steam, valve, sprites, etc in the insert sprite box. check it looks ok from hammer first, b4 compiling. i had it jump to another (from thruster to photo) just try again, an it should work

just tell me where there are gaps in the system in example maps, an i'll fill them in

i enjoy posting example maps, an just wondered wat newbs want to see, and aren't sure about. post here, and expect to see them soon. do not post map ideas already dun. derr!!!

1) Record you sounds

2)Save them in .wav format

3)Open up your HL2 directory, and find sound.txt

4)Add 'your' sound locations and names

5) Insert them using Hamm 4.0

any questions?

by using a game_counter (or anything other entity) is it poss. to make a counter that adds 1 everytime you kill a npc.

cheers guys

TWHL RUYLES!!

cheers!

been doing a simple map for HL, compiled and tested, then added a bit, and nearly all new blocks added its complaining about, and I've got massive leaks EVERYWHERE!! i've even tried to box the map, but it don't help! What have I done?!? :

thanks alot guys. ill post back a redo soon.

im completely new to mapping, an may ave even put this in the wrong place, but what do you fink (Honestly!!) Features are - -

upstairs area- working blinds.

TVScreen turns on on button press and computers come out of ground

benches/tables (custom built!!) go into ground when floor opens up (func_door)

behind camera (whoopS!) - working lift with multiple entities (doors move with lift thing.) Any texture, lighting, etc comments would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks lot guys.

i know its normally dark, but even when I use the torch and turn all the lights on on my map, its impossible to see.

are you using zoner's compile tools, or actually making for the right hl

new to mapping, but managed to make good looking water from surface, but underwater its practically pitch-black. I've tried lights etc underwater, and am using one bright light (entity light) in the middle of the room. Please help me/. Thanks

cheers. Ill try that now. get back to you

I'm been mapping for hl for a while, but started on hl2 recently. installed sdk, but hammer 4.0 is saying missing editor/wireframe, go to tools, etc, etc. what/ where is this??

cool. thanks guys

thanks alot. Whooopss!!!

Thanks

how would I know if they are for hl1??

thanks alot. I'll check now. Post log in a minute.

using hammer, i've made a simple map and compiled it eventually OK. However, when it loads HL2, it says:

CModelLoader:: Map_IsValid: 'tester' is not a valid BSP file map load failed: tester not found or invalid.

How can I play my maps???

Thanks for any help.
