Only time Ive been banned at all was on a DoD server where I killed the admin 15 times without dieing so I got told I was cheating and was banned lol. (Mayby if the admin didn't go past the same door 15 times without looking he wouldn't die 15 times)

in Objects triggured by explosions... Post #201978
If you want anything to set it off just put a load of breakables around. An exsplosion will break them and they can trigger whatever on break.

you can deactivate them but it's one way, you can't make them active after.
See the "kill target" in some entitys (eg trigger_relay)

in How do you delete an NPC? Post #199798
If path_corners won't work for you use an (ai)scripted_sequnce with a walk to/run to setting and trigger that instead. (just don't set an amination and it will act just like a waypoint.)

Have you taken all the models out of the pak/gcf and put the in the half life/mod models folder? (The same goes for sprites btw)

in questions? Post #197098
put a teleport under the 1st spawn point and make the destination where you want the 2nd.
Make sure the teleport has a "master" setting (like "tele_master")
Make a multi_source and name it "tele_master")

Trigger the multi_source with something to make the teleport start working

Adding more spawn points doesns't give you control over which ones you spawn at each time. (might be wrong as I don't map much mp)

SlayerA:
If you clcik a non vertic and then while holding down the left mouse button drag it somewhere it creates a serlection box causeing the problem he is haveing.
Enter or Esc gets rid of it.

Some places are seen 2 or so times mainly beaten hl1 and op4
eg: HL:In the start tram there is this bit with a big tank with a hole in it and the bottom of a ramp is flooded.
OP4:The flood has been drained and the hole has been fixed by a few bits of wood. You jump over into one of the trams here.

in how do you make models breakable in CS? Post #194595
not got time to try this but this is how I would try.
Place your bottle as whatever.
Make a func_breakeble around it and set target to an env_render
place an env_render set render mode to texture and render ammount to 0. make it target the bottle

Ive overlayed red lines to show you where you should make each brush cause yous is broken into little pices where it isn't needed. Lol when you said 1000 polys I thought you had made each key one at a time....

in Half life: bright sky Post #194548
You should only leave the lights from the teleporer it self when it starts working. This way all the attention goes to the teleporter it self. You can make the beams emmit light when the room is dark. This way you will be able to see a bit more but the not all the attention will be given to the teleporter.
main light - 1light set
light blue beams - 2 light sets
blue&orange beams -4 light sets
orange beam- 1 light
control room- 1 light set
tele lights- 8 light sets
total-17 light sets
Not going to happen. even source can't have 17 diffrent sets of named light in one room
I'm working on the spot light idea and mayby a glow sprite for the crystal (if i can get an orange one)
Still does it when hollowed. the game doesn't apply the orange tint to the beams or make them dimmer when the crystall is in fron of them So it gives the affect there in front.

in Half life: bright sky Post #194497
I can't do the transparent thing. The game draw beams at full bright when there behind a transparent object so that when you can see infront/behind together it looks like it's just going in front not behind :(
Mayby a coder could fix it?

And I would like diffrent textures as this is not black mesa and the shape of the tram is diffrent anyway (wider), slightly more round, diffrent shaped windows ect

but i was right. to add stuff to the walls and floor drives the r_speeds up to about 1300 in the control room if you look out of the windows :( (and over 2000 without any optimisation or vis)
most people can run a map with 1300 polys (not that it matters there to much as it more of a site seeing level as you don't get to shoot nothing) so should I keep the added detail or take the polys back to where they were befor?

It would be based in an older complex than black mesa. The secter your working in is trying to extract the near limitless energy from a strange crytal on xen.
However the xen lifeforms didn't like haveing there crystal stolen so force open a small rift and take it back.
Haveing done this they take the chance to force it open wider and invade the labs. They also invade the small city that was built on a large xen platform as a teleport "relay" station and for studying the xen lifeforms.
Later on when the black ops come the millertry being on the "to kill" list make peace with the lab workers to fight there common emenys and get out alive.

I have done some work but need some help mainly in the mapping (cause theres a lot of it) area. I also need a voice acter befor I can complete the maps I started.
