in steam is being a b*tch Post #142199
I have had loads of problems with steam, still do actualy which why I am mapping for hl1, but never mind. here is my advise from my own experience

1. Don't use the website for help - it is rubbish

2. If you send emails moaning they will take ages to reply and will basiclly tell you to defrag you pc, reinstall steam ect

3. I found the best way to get it to work, is every time it has to update, disable every firewall you have, including windows. Although they dont block steam, it still cant update with them on I found.

Hope this helps.
:)

in Multisource - Help needed Post #140276
I have downloaded the example map and tried using that, but i still cant get it to work. I want it so that when i press b1,b1, b2 and b3 are disabled until the end of b1's sequence when they are reenabled. could somebody please give me the proper way to program this, rather than a general guide cause i cant make head or tail of them.

sequence i need when b1 is pressed:
disable b1, b2 and b3
explosion
enable b1, b2, b3

cheers

in Temporarily disabling triggers - multima Post #140116
I have looked on the forums and have not found i topic which is exactly what i need so here is the problem. I am building a map using lots of buttons, for the sake of ease lets call b1 b2 b3. I am using a multimanger and i need it so that when i press b1, it disables b2 and B3, until at the end of its sequence when it reenables them. i need this for all buttons. if someone could please tell what to do it would greatly help. thanks

ps - am fairly new to mapping so please patronise me by explaining every thing step by step

in Conveyor Belt - texture going wrong way! Post #139531
This is probably very easy, but i am almost a complete n00b to mapping and can't find this under the tutorials. i have built a conveyor using 'func_conveyor' and it carries me the right way, but the texture around it goes the off at an angle! any help greatly needed, thanks.
