in Help with looping action animations in Scripted Sequence Post #348211
As I suggested in the other thread, have the scripted_sequence target its own targetname.
Just tested that satchels work fine in HLDM running on the anniversary edition.
So first thing first: Are you pressing alternate fire (right-click by default) to detonate the satchels? The behaviour was changed in the anniversary edition to do this.
If not that, then you'll need to provide the details you left out of your post:

- Is this running the anniversary edition or the legacy branch?
- Is this HLDM or multiplayer in a mod?
- Are you using any plugins?
It's entirely possible to use several scripted_sequences for the same monster, just not at the same time.
That means that only one can use the Idle Animation, the rest must use Action Animation only.
You can kind of hack a looping Action Animation by having the scripted_sequence target its own targetname (scripted_sequences fires their target when Action Animation finishes)

First you'll want to make a hollow cylinder using the Arch Primitive
and make some duplicates of it (or use Clip Mode to subdivide it)
then in Vertex Manipulation Mode select all except the top layer of vertices and right-click and hit Scale Vertices (Alt+E)
Here I'm locking the Z axis so vertices aren't displaced vertically
and repeat that previous step leaving out the next uppermost layer of vertices and so on until you have your funnel

Give BspGuy a try (you'll find it in the Viewers section of Tools and Resources) and potentially the Unified SDK decompiler (Decompile Tools section of the same page).
If these two don't work out, try using Ripent. If the entities are there, it'll export them to the entity list.

The303 has a great guide for this type of sprays, you can find the article here.

At the very least, as long as the triggers exists in the BSP you should be able to read their data using Ripent or a viewer like BspGuy, but they should also show up when using a decompiler.
You said you already tried decompiling and using a viewer. Which were they? Did any entities show up or was it just the trigger that didn't show up?
Do you remember anything about your setup (what kind of triggers used etc)?

As UrbaNebula says, read the compile log. It will tell you exactly the reasons why it failed.

Error, and good to check for Warning as well as it might tell you about issues that didn't prevent compile but might affect the map nonetheless.Definitely will need both time and map size constraints. I'd say tops 5 days per mapper. Perhaps instead of pre-decided chain we could ask the remaining links who's available that following week to be the next link.
Unfortunately there's a probability of ghosters. I hope those that suddenly find themselves lacking in time or motivation or otherwise want to opt out let the rest of us know as soon as possible so we can either find a replacement or re-order the chain. 🙂
If someone has a loose lip they cannot help, I hope they can find somewhere else to be than here and ruining the fun for the rest of us. :p

So Foxo came with the idea of a mapping game of telephone and I think it would make for a very fun collab.
Of course, there's many ways it could be executed so it's important to find a plan that keeps the essentials of the game (i.e. transmission chaining, or how information changes when sequentially told and interpreted) while keeping it fun to do.
In case there's enough mappers interested, I guess I can propose a plan just to kick off the brainstorming:
Having the interpreter and mapper separated would also help keeping visuals and themes hidden, and hopefully produce some interesting results.

In case there's enough mappers interested, I guess I can propose a plan just to kick off the brainstorming:
- I think we should keep our messages limited to an one-sentence idea, and each link in the chain is a pair of an interpreter and a mapper.
- The interpreter's job is to receive the last map, play it, and describe it as an one-sentence idea and tell their mapper this idea, and otherwise keep the idea secret.
- The mapper's job is to take the interpreter's idea and make a small map based on it, with a beginning and an end, and send it to the next interpreter in the chain, and otherwise keep the map secret.
- A secret "original idea" is given to the first mapper in the list, and consequently sent through each link in the chain.
Having the interpreter and mapper separated would also help keeping visuals and themes hidden, and hopefully produce some interesting results.
Please post your solution, so that others looking for it can find it here.
Try to use drag-and-drop from explorer instead of copy-and-pasting.
Oh right, mixed up nowadtextures and wadinclude, my mistake.
Still, the main issue was CSG being run twice, the second time without the command, so it was the latter that counted for the rest of the compilation.

FortressOne should be standalone. As for getting it to work or modding it, your best option there is to join their Discord server and ask there instead.
For the code there's a link to their GitHub on the website. As for which repo is relevant for modding, again the Discord server should be the place to ask or look around in (they likely have channels and pinned messages for this already).

Yeah, Admer's playlist, and this series of tutorials are of great help when learning to use the SDK.
You might also check out this tutorial for setting up a HL mod as well.
As for why FortressOne would be easier to mod, it's because it's open source (the game code is publicly available and free) so you won't need to go through recreating anything as you would need to with HLSDK.
Lastly, the Windows Defender message is likely because of a missing app signature on the executable. Apparently Windows requires this sort of signature on applications now for Defender not to alarm you about it. But since it's open source, you can look through the code yourself and even compile it yourself to make sure there's nothing nasty in there, and then if you trust it click on Advanced (or something like that) and click on Run It Anyway (might say something else along those lines).

TFC did start out as a HL1 mod, a port of the original Team Fortress from Quake, and later released as a standalone game (although pretty much still just a HL1 mod, which becomes fairly obvious considering all the shared assets and the Hunted map being modified parts of a section of HL1's campaign).
So the timeline of the games goes something like:
So if you want to make a mod that's similar to TFC in terms of gameplay and feel etc, starting out with HLSDK and recreating the mechanics would be the way to go.
As for FortressOne, it's just an open source version of the original TF using the QuakeWorld engine (which has better networking than Quake) and would be the easiest base game to mod, but its code could possibly be used as a guideline on how to implement certain mechanics into your own mod.
So the timeline of the games goes something like:

Since there's no publicly available game code for TFC, there's likely not much you can do other than recreating the mechanics in HLSDK as its own mod as Shepard says.
There's an open source fork of the original Team Fortress which may or may not come in handy.

New classes and weapons sounds like code territory. As far as I know we only have HL1, Op4 and BS code SDKs but none for TFC and I'm unsure what options we have there.
Perhaps something like Metamod could be used? I've never messed around with that sort of stuff myself so can't really tell how much it could help you here.
Doors and keycards (regardless of class) is vanilla goldsrc so that's definitely doable.
Making it class-specific, on the other hand, iirc the TFC entities only had logic for team-specificity so might need code work to get that.

As for Valve's approval, don't worry about that. I don't think they even acknowledge TFC anymore, and even if they did they'd just be positive about it as they've always been about mods*.

TFC is still being played. It's not as popular as it used to be, but there's at least a couple communities still around with regular players.

LLMs such as ChatGPT should only be used as entertaining novelties, not as actual sources of information.
They don't know anything, they don't provide any guaranteed correct information. All they're good for is making convincingly enough human-like text.

Using KillTarget will remove the monster from the game instead of killing it, which may or may not be what you want depending on whether you want it to leave a corpse or not.
If you want it to leave a corpse, the most consistent way would be using the
A less reliable way would be using trigger_hurt with a high damage and non-gibbing damage type (e.g. DROWN),

What UbOh said.
Having Ignore Group on makes you select the brush itself instead of the entity.
Having Ignore Group on makes you select the brush itself instead of the entity.
If the walls around the doors aren't used for sealing the map, they could be made into func_detail and use
zhlt_hull1 and zhlt_hull3 pointing to narrower info_hullshapes (for standing and crouching respectively, with the defaulthulls key set to 0). That way it's only those specific doorways that will behave as if there was a narrower player, and not mess with any other cliphulls (and probably save some clipnodes too, relative to using global info_hullshape).Oh almost forgot! There's also player-entity collisions, I think those used bounding boxes. That should be in game code somewhere.
When it comes to interacting with the world, the player doesn't really have a width or height. It's just a point.
Instead it's the collision models (clip hulls) of the world that are expanded outwards by half the player's height and width. In other words, the invisible cliphulls of the game world are expanded so they meet this point in the center of the player.
These cliphulls are baked into the maps themselves during compilation, so it is kind of hard-coded into the compiler. The latest VHLT (available here) does come with the source so you could change the compilers themselves to generate cliphulls according to your new player size, though an even easier way would be using info_hullshape which is a VHLT map entity that can define a new shape (including size) for the player.

Great to hear it worked when done manually, hope the script works!
As for normal vectors, it's just a vector that stands perpendicular out from a plane, basically the plane's orientation (technically it's a vector standing perpendicular from a pair of vectors, but in this context a plane is just that pair of vectors).

For the world planes, you can find a vertex's corresponding UV (assuming no scaling/shift/rotation) by projecting the vertex coordinates flatly onto the nearest world plane (e.g. XY for a upward facing face) divided by the texture's dimensions (since UV coords are relative to texture dimensions).
Problem is just figuring out which world plane to use (XY / XZ / YZ) which depends on the face angle.

Have you tried, instead of projecting, to transform the face's world UV coordinates by the face's normal vector?
Essentially you want the UV coordinate plane to become aligned to the face's plane.

Where you should place the file, and many other questions you have, is already answered in the tutorial Penguinboy shared with you in the Shoutbox.
Further, I'd suggest looking at other monster classes in the SDK. There's a lot to be learned looking at the code that's already there.

g_hull_size in hlcsg/hullfile.cpp. The three vectors are hull0, hull1, hull2, and hull3 respectively, but we only want to change hull1 (commented as 32x32x72, standing hull) and hull3 (commented as 32x32x36, crouching hull). Just halve the Z value in these vectors (i.e. {-16, -16, -36} => {-16, -16, -18}). Then using this new compiler, any new maps compiled with it will produce cliphulls for a player half the original height.

That's not a problem with monster_generic but rather that player models have their origin in the center of the model, unlike monsters which have the origin at their feet.
Just move the monster_generic up by 36 units (half of the player height, 72 units).

Great! 👌
In the 3D editor you've used to create your model, does the walk animation actually physically move the root bone of the skeleton? If the root bone remains stationary then so will the headcrab.
If you're unfamiliar with this concept, then I suggest decompiling the model and opening it in a 3D editor and viewing the walk sequence and see how it causes the root to physically move away from the editor's world origin.

Yeah, scripted_sequence would definitely be the way to go.
Since it's a mod you're working on, you can perfectly use a modified version of stock NPC models (such as scientists and barneys) that are given window climbing sequences if the default sequences don't work for you.
Here's a simple example I made you could take a look at.
