thats the problem, it doesnt do anything at the minute. it will be behind the glass and will just stand there.
yeah, each specific entity has its own name, and all its linked to each other correctly. was just thinkin whether this was the correct way to do it, or if there was another way it shud be done, cus it doesnt want to work
Right, im trying to get a zombie to break through a window when i go over a trigger_once. I set up my scripted sequence like that in the tutorial on scripted sequences on this site, as i thought that would have done the trick. I have the zombie animation for breaking through the window and ive put that into the action animation on the scripted sequence.
This is how i have it setup. A trigger once on the corner of my corridor which targets the aiscripted_sequence. The aiscripted sequence targets the window to be broken and the targetmonster is the zombie, and the action animation the zombie breaking glass.
When i go round the corner and hit the trigger once nothing happens, the zombie just stands there.
Anyone got any ideas? is this the way to set up this kind of action.
Cheers

Im making a mod and obviously want to have my own models in there. I have modelled a pistol and want this to be used in the game, but am unsure of how to do the animation etc. I know how to animate it as in move the arms and gun etc etc, but i dont know how to set it all up and that.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any good tutorials that are easy to follow on this subject. Have seen some and they are pretty vague.
Also do you know if you can use the original animations for new models and if so how? again, any tutorials?
thanks

Thats the compile log, i noticed that it isnt performing the vis.
Ive sorted out the compiler now, it compiles, but now the textures just wont show.
I have the wad files in there, and im choosing my textures from one of my wad files. When the map compiles and loads, all it comes up with is a purple and black checkered texture on everything.
any ideas?
cheers

i have the compiled map files going to my half life/valve/maps folder, thats right isnt it
aye, found zoners now and it works, but ive encountered a new problem.
i havent mapped for almost a year now and ive forgotten a lot of the stuff, and its the small stuff thats bugging me and i cant for the life of me remember how to fix it.
All my set up is correct by the looks of it, and when i compile my map, everything goes fine, no crashes, but in console it says "map name" cannot be found on server. i had this problem a while ago and cant remember what caused it.
Any ideas
Cheers

no, im using trigger_levelchange and info_landmark s. the landmarks are up by 100 units, but its still doin it :/
Got two level changes, one works fine, the other one i appear in the floor slightly but i have the landmarks at the same coordinates, and there are no objects near me for me to get stuck in, and the landmarks are not too near the floor, any ideas?
yeah i followed the security card tutorial, and used that method with the keys. It worked too, but i wanted text to appear when u goto a locked door and that, so i stuck in the multimanager, now i cant get it to work with the multimanager
aye, ill do meh best :/
gah, no one knows!!! :/
ive made my keys, and remade the global, multisource and multimanager in the next map, but the door still stays locks and seems to think u havent got the key :/
can anyone help ?
can anyone help ?
gah!! im sure i had it workin, but it aint now 
i have the security card etc all set up in one map, and in the other map i have copied the env_global and the multisource and this should make it work in that map yes?
it aint for me, please help :/

would anyone be able to make me a quick quick example between two levels to show me the security card, and if poss with text on so if u goto the door without the card it says its locked, and if u have the card it says its unlocked.
sorry this is a lot to ask, just that im really stuck :/

i have followed the tutorial on security cards, and it all works, i copied the global and the multisource over to my other map which is linked, but if i go to the security card i can see it there, then if i go to the other map, and then back again the security card isnt there, altho i havent picked it up :C
anyone got any ideas?

but... what would the master be? :/

i want the player to be able to click on an object and then it will autosave the game.
how would i do this?
how would i do this?
i nearly had it sorted with the multi manager.
to do it with the multimanager would you create 3 monstermakers or 3 actual monsters, and then name them and link em in the multi manager?

lol, i can never think simple
well i followed the tutorial for making a key, and i have two keys on my map so far, one u collect on one level, and one on another level. these wont work across all the levels unless there is a global thing that controls em (onv_global as hazardous! said).
my two multi_managers are key1 and key2 for example
how would i put these into a global using env_global or any other ways?
ima bit stuck :/

ima bit stuck :/
does the env_global work exactly the same as the multi_manager, or do you link the multi_managers on each level to the one env_global?
In my map i have keys that u collect to open doors etc, but my map is split up into 3 levels and on some levels there are doors that need keys that are obtained from other levels. Is there anyway of creating like global multi_managers rather than local ones.
there is a door that is locked, and the key is on another map, but u start on the map with the locked door, and u can walk straight through it, and it tells u you have unlocked it using the key, although you dont have it :/
anyone know how to srt this?

im stickin to a first person one though, i have ideas to slow the gameplay down to, with opening/closing door sequences etc etc. its goin alright. dont know how to put a screen shot up tho :/
the log it tells u to read is exactly the same as the log u see i think.
i think it might say somewhere in that log what the problem is, like a leak or something or other

what key values do i need to put into the multi manager for the sound and the three zombies?
these always confuse me
and what do i exactly do for the scripted sequence. is it better to make them walk through the door, or actually just appear in the room, as you wont see em walk in anyway

Doin a resident evil map, and when u pick the shotgun up it triggers that roof to come down on you (in the real game) im makin it slightly different so taht when u poick the shotty up it will trigger off a door closing sound and then 3 zombies appear in the room where the roof usually falls down.
how would i go about doing this?

there used to be two good ones a few months ago, but they both seem to be down now, search for "half life prefabs" in google. got some good ones from there, but dont work for me :/
i sorted it now, had to have the landmarks in exact position. eg if landmark on map 1 was at coordiantes 100,100, then then landmark on map2 would have to be at coordianates 100,100
What would cause the qbsp2.exe to crash everytime i compile. i cant really remember changing anythin to my map apart from the textures and now wheni compile it crashes
Im doing a level change going from one room into another through a door, when u open the door and touch the level change trigger u get sent to another ma.
i have my landmarks in there and level change trigger, but when ever i change level im ending up in the floor. There are no objects near me, landmark isnt in the floor etc, i really dont know what it could be, please help if you can
cheers

sorted it all now
target on break "gasmulti" then it does all the stuff, and u die
target on break "gasmulti" then it does all the stuff, and u diethere is no trigger on break :/
nah, ive done everything, and it all wrks, apart from the trigger that sets the gas off when it breaks 
Right, im doin a mod and am creating a puzzle kinda thing in it and this is what it is:
A key is in a room that is opened by a switch. When u flick the dwitch, the door stays open for 10 seconds, and within this time u gotta get in, get the key and get out before the door shuts, otherwise gas will come out the floor and you die.
Outside of the secret room i have a crate, and u can push the crate in the way of the door, so that the door stays open and u have all the time in the world to get this key (so u wud think). But the door damages stuff that is in the way of it, and the box is breakable. sssoooooo
what i want it to do is that when the door eventually breaks the box and u r still in the room, the door will close and then the gas will trigger off and u die so u gotta be quick to get the key
thats the basic idea behind the puzzle. but i really dont know how to trigger the gas off when the door breaks the box.
please help me!!!!
if this is too complicated to do, gimme some other ideas related to my idea thanks

right, im at university atm, doin a games computing degree :P! anyways for one of my units i have to make a half life single player map, but im gonna kinda do a mod so i can do it as a big projetc for my final year. Im kinda gonna remake resident evil but as a half life mod, see what it comes out as. i done a bit of the map and have some of the moster_zombies in but i want different models for them, and the crowbar model id like akinife model, and guns etc etc. how would i go about doing this? not quite sure how to do it
also like resident evil, i have set it up so u can pick keys up, and these unlock diff doors etc etc, but id kinda like it so u can press a button and it will open a screen thingy and it will show u what items u have, keys, guns ammo etc, like resi evil on psx.
if anyone knows please reply
cheers
