any tips?

And i know there arent any leaks, i double and triple checked.

all brits are pricks, end of story

Yay im a prick!!!! woooooowooooooo!!!!!

well thanks for confirming with me, and it does seem like their controlling it but who cares?

yuo know that grunts controlling guns and all that? Well its not that im having trouble with this, its that, would i be able to set up a gun which could be used by a different entity, say Barney?

oh yeh, i saw that on the news, said they would put her in a bag and throw her off the 3rd floor of her aunts apartment, nasty.

ive mapped for starcraft and red alert long before i started hl, im reasonably good with starcraft and red alert

thanks again

worst off are probably those wierd kids in the unfortunate series of events film or something

but in scroll in the texture bowse and you should come to find the conveyor belt texture and water scroll textures

and dont call me mr. please, kinda creeps me out...

meh, true, and do do live with other relatives...

well hey, how would you like it if half your family died within the space of 6 yrs?

meh, doesnt matter, ill just turn not soild flag on. That should hopefully work (not really) besides i dont have to do it with all the water

Thanks for your help

you know, water that looks like its moving. Insted of plain sitting still water

oh yeh and does anyone know how to make the perfect rotation?

Im making a 3 tier deathmatch arena, but i have one problem...

Ive used scrolling water in this as the water in this map comes out of a pipe, goes down into a water pit river thingy then out through another pipe, both pipes have bars to stop players going to far.

The problem is that whenever i test the map the water doesnt scroll like i need it too:( Could someone help?

your moms so dum, when her car was being stolen she helped steal it! Though that one up quickly

smiley cut....lol

may not be optimistic but hey, what else was i going to say? And who knows, this could help people get over theirv worse memorys (yeh right)

lol

meh....showoff

I dunno about you, but my worst memory was basicallymy life between the age of 6 to 12 from well, a number of things..

he's just like me...new to mapping:)

yay! thanks for everyone who helped!!!!

errr....dude, i couldnt find and elephant even if it was right infront of me. But ive found it anyway.

heck, whats wrong with 38_98? Its my newgrounds name is well dude...

Man why is it i always forget the simply things!?!?!? Thanks for the help. Now i just got to find the headcrab model...

hi, anyway, ive got a problem. Ill tell you the whole thing in one go.

Way way back when i found this site after looking up a few tutorials to help my mapping i was scrolling along begginer, then intermediate, and then advanced. But there was one tutorial that caught my attention, which was the 'adding atmosphere' thingy, after reading through. I realised that it was true that there werent many maps (if any) taking in the horror thing (although it wasnt all grunts and stuff) so i decided that my first map (apart from all my tryouts on quite a few stuff) would be horror, plain and simple. After making my little introductory bit. I starting on making the actual thing.

But i didnt get too far. Because one problem stumped me, remember back in half life 1 when the accident happened and you had barney shoot at stupid zombie dudes. And that (if you paid attention to certain dead scientist) that one headcrab was sitting happily on a scientists head. Curved so that it actually looked like he was devouring his head and slowly turning him into a headcrab zombie. You cant make the headcrab into the position (and as far as i know there is no script for it)

Soooo anyway, how do you make the headcrab look like its sitting on top of a scientists head?
