erm... that's exactly what I did ______

You may want to func_wall that arch, its less tough for the compiler that way.

And why did you func_walled those four big walls? That could be the cause of the arch being too bright. I say convert the big walls back to normal world brushes, but those detail things on top of the walls (i don't know the name for those) should stay func_walls.

oh, so I memorized this completely wrong _____ I thought you were supposed to func_wall only the shapes which aren't tough to compile and leave the ones that are hard to compile normal brushes unless you need them to be entities. Oh well...

Anyway I still can't press any of the buttons, now I've made them so that all four buttons are tied to one func_button entity which targets 'gate' which is the name of the gate. Any other ideas?

I don't see anything differen than the usual in it:

no .err file or anything, I compiled exactly the same way I usually do it, my .bat file is fine.

P.S. @darkie

I suck when it comes to lighting.

Lol yeah, I can see that from your name

I'm using the version that's on SJ, I just extracted everything and that's it.

I made my arch following this tut:
http://cs-maps.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=arches.htm

Because you're not targeting the door. The 4 buttons all target the multimanager and the multimanager targets all the buttons.

what the... OK I don't know how I missed this but I was sure I had all the buttons + the gate set as targets ____ anyway thanks.

Make a screenshot.

again, I don't know why I didn't think of that but you have to excuse me, it's 2:30 a.m. here and I'm sleepy but for some reason I can't sleep :S.
anyway I now realized that it's not the whole door texture but only the place where the wall meets the arch and the wall. And also the arch texture is a little weird and too bright.

OK, now I have a problem in this map (though it has little to do with the stuff I've been asking here, but it's still the same map).
I can't press any of the buttons at the top of the hill that are supposed to open the gate of the 'fortress'. I've tried to find the problem but I can't seem to find anything.
Can someone please check the map and tell me what's wrong?

Also the texture of the gate gets buggy ingame. It looks like... well I don't know how to explain but it's like my graphic card was bad and I get the "moving texture effect" (when the textures start jumping around or something). I tried to find a sc that would be at least close to what I'm talking about but the best I could find is this:
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1825/screen004us3.jpg
So can you please check ingame and tell me if you get the same effect? Because I doubt it's a graphic card problem, since it only happens with this gate.

if you mean this one then try:

(expert fgd)

OK can someone please just explain to me how a game_team_master entity works? What exactly does it do?

Because if I understood correctly, I can do what I want to do if I do the following:

• make a trigger_multiple that targets 'team' in the "winning area of CTs" (the area the CTs must enter to win)
• make a game_team_master that has a team index of -1 and has the name 'team'
• make a trigger multiple in the area where the CTs start and make it target 'setteam'
• make a game_team_set entity, make it target 'team', name it 'setteam' and under flags check Remove after fire.
• make the game_team_master target the teleportation of the hostage to the hostage rescue zone.

Ah yes, now I found the empty entity. Thanks KD.
It actually had nothing to do with this door, it was another door completely elsewhere.
OK now I only need to find a way of making a trigger_multiple work only for one team.

The door? I want it to move up when triggered and stay open (I know how to do that, the only problem is the no solids error, I haven't been on my computer yet, I'll try func_door and deleting the entity).
But I also want to make an area beyond this door that does the following:
If it's entered by CTs, the CTs win.
If it's entered by Terrorists nothing happens.
Can I use a trigger_multiple combined with a game_team_master for that?

well I didn't make it and I'm not sure from which wad it is, because I'm using the following, combined into 1:
zhlt.wad
halflife.wad
cstrike.wad
gfx.wad
cs_dust.wad
decals.wad

the texture is called {grate4a.

Here's a sc of the door from the editor (I made the door by carving the arch into the square door - yes I know the carve tool is evil when combined with cylinders and other such shapes but I checked right after carving it and it gave no problem under ALT+P before I turned it into a func_train):

On one condition, kill the hostage, and the terrorists win i think,

well, I don't need any triggers for the terrorists to win but still tnx, I'll use this when I do :).

On the other condition, teleport him (or move the floor) onto a hostage rescue point to make the ct's win.

OK. But can I make a trigger_multiple work for cts only? So that if the terrorists step on it, nothing happens?

They Hunger has a pretty sweet bush rustling sound.

emm... They Hunger?

If you want a door, use func_door or func_door_rotating, not func_train.

Yeah I know, but I completely forgot there was a func_door and I just used a func_train for it.

As for the no solids error, you probably assigned an entity to a brush, and then deleted it. Or something.

Hmm... possibly. I'll remake it tomorrow.

First make your brush door, then tie the whole thing to func_door or func_door_rotating.

Yes, I did that.

To get rid of the blue, use render mode solid, and FX amount 255.

Also did that.

I don't do CS so i can't help you with your last question.

ah, ok.
Is there an entity/trigger which when triggered would make a team automatically win?

yeah, me again.
I want to make a door that has a texture which begins with { (I want it to look like a middle-ages castle gate), so I made the brush textured it with a { entity and turned it into a func_train. But then I checked ALT+P and it said that it has no solids. Is there any way of making a door like that (so that you can see through it)? Will it change anything if I do it with func_door?

Oh and also:
is it possible to make the func_escapezone for CTs? Because I'd like to make a map where the counters have to escape from a fortress.

EDIT: while I'm asking all this I might as well ask something else as well. Is there any .wav file that has a sound I could use for bushes (when someone goes through a bush I want to trigger an ambience generic with a shhhhhhhh sound)?
Or maybe does someone know where I could get one?

ooh so I have to target the elevator with the trigger_changetarget?

You need to zip it...

Like i said, you need to zip your file.

wow how the hell did I miss your first post?

anyway now I got it to work but it doesn't work the first time I press the button.
I made the button trigger a multi_manager which triggers the trigger_changetarget and then 1 second later the elevator but for some reason it would appear that it triggers the elevator first (yes, I doublechecked that the elevator has a value of 1 and the trigger_changetarget has a value of 0 in the multi_manager), because after the first time it works fine.

Anyway I posted the map, please check it out. Meanwhile I'll download and check yours and maybe I'll be able to figure out something by myself.

EDIT: ok I checked your map but I can't find any difference except that you used 2 buttons and I used one with a multi_manager. Did I do something wrong in the multi_manager?

hmm... ok if it works fine, I'll try again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, then I'll check your rmf.
(do you think the problem could also be that I have the 3.4 edition of the hammre?)
meanwhile what about my inability of posting the map in the map vault?

I can't. It says There seems to be a problem with what you are trying to do.
The specific problem is: file type
I'm sure I selected the .rmf map (while browsing), I didn't select link and I checked only RMF at the map types.
Also the map has only 64KB.
I added a screenshot, which is a .jpg file.

I do. OK, let me put it like this.
Elevator has the stops: Stop1, Stop2, Stop3. Stop2 has next stop set to Stop3 but I want a button to change that.
So I make a button that triggers a trigger_changetarget with the following in its properties (smartedit turned off):
targetname: ChangeTarget
target: Stop2
delay: 0
m_iszNewTarget: Stop1
But it doesn't work.

Can the trigger_changetarget change the 'next stop' property of a path_corner entity?

If it can, then I'm doing something wrong, so please explain, what I have to do (I put the name of the path_corner in the 'target' field of the trigger_changetarget and the name of the path_corner that's supposed to become the next stop into the 'newtarget' field of the trigger_changetarget).

If it can't, then why not? I mean the next stop does have the key 'target' if you disable smartedit.
