In comparement to the original Radiant this version is quite awesome. Really enjoyed creating stuff in this one.
Should thank Snehk for showing it to me, would never discover it otherwise.

"Looks like you use SketchUp?"
Nope, used nothing but Jackhammer and cs_747.wad. Limiting oneself to 5-7 textures to work with gives awesome results.

in How to make a pointer / gauge in HL/CS m Post #338337
"By "arrow" you mean what exactly?"
The "pointer".
"When i press the button it moves from red to green (like in game)"
I already gave you a clue. It would be much better if you figured this out by yourself though.
This tutorial should explain how to set up a rotating door.

You see, all the difference between a rotating door and your pointer is in the shape, the size and the rotation axis. So you have to tie the pointer and its origin brush to func_door_rotating, configure it the way you need and give it a name to later trigger it with a button.

Also, you may find this page pretty useful. Check it out.

in How to make a pointer / gauge in HL/CS m Post #338334
You can make something like that by tying the arrow to func_door_rotating, func_rotating or func_pendulum, depending on what you want your arrow to do.

You can find more info about these entities in the Half-Life entity guide or in the "Tutorials" section.

in using a door as a button Post #338311
Try adding "zhlt_noclip 1" keyvalue to your func_button. This will make it passable with an excuse that the button will still block bullets and projectiles.
This works with any kind of brush-based entities.

It's a CS map. Initially I made it to test the func_vehicle entity, but I kept detailing it more and more to the point it barely resembled a test map.

Noted.

in Decals not rendered Post #338116
Do generic bullet holes or blood stains show up at least? If they do, then the decals aren't applied properly I guess. Try flipping one horizontally/vertically and tell me if it helps.

in What editor do you use? Post #338069
Currently Jackhammer is the best choice for GoldSrc mapping. You can get it for free or purchase it on Steam, the only difference between the Steam version and the free one is that the Steam version of Jackhammer constantly gets small updates, bugfixes and also has achievements. The free version hasn't been getting any updates for a while, but it's not much worse than the paid one.
It was possible to get the free version of Jackhammer on its official site, but the download link is broken at the moment. I can upload it on MediaFire for you if you wish.

in Any tips regarding water Post #338001
Brushes tied to func_water are always rendered wherever you are, no matter if you can see them or not. I think that's the problem.
GS wasn't really designed for big maps.

Try what Solokiller suggested. If it doesn't help, try tying the water brush(es) to world. Yeah, you'll have to sacrifice water's transparency and ability to rise but it can help you improve the performance.

in Toggle Gravity Post #337993
"Without the button being active one would expect the trigger_gravity to be turned off, but it's not."
Ah, now I see what's the problem. Trigger_gravity doesn't affect the gravity itself in its area. It works like trigger_multiple, but instead of targeting an entity it just changes the gravity for the player who activated it. To get their gravity back to normal, the player must activate another trigger_gravity that will set the player's gravity back to normal.

EDIT: Made some tests and I fear it's impossible to tie a trigger_gravity to a master. Here's the map I tested it on.

Not trying to offend you, but such questions are pretty basic and aren't worthy of separate threads. You really need to read through the HL entity guide and the tutorials section.

in Configuration func_healthcharger Post #337892
As far as I know, func_healthcharger cannot be configured. However, the amount of health it can restore depends on the difficulty chosen.

I've never tested if monstermaker can spawn items, so it looks like you have to find it out yourself.

That screenshot has nothing to do with Xash. Well, I tweaked the lighting in photoshop a little bit, but the screenshot has been taken in pure HL.

"If you can run through it and get to the end, that's fine."
The problem is you can't.

So, I guess I've failed.
