another prob Created 16 years ago2007-11-10 16:58:36 UTC by AMK

i made a map where teh beam goes thro a brush and the game crashes when i enable it

and then i made another map not going thro a brush but i cant see the brush i only see a little dot

then i made a map where the beam does not move ant it works perfectly

how the can i make a working/viseble and moving beam and yes i did every thing in the tut

ps. my beam isent a ring

Are you using an env_laser or an env_beam?
What's your target set as?
Try placing an info_target with the name of "beam_target" of something similar and setting the laser or beam or laserbeam to target the info_target.

And.. hit alt+P to check for problems before you compile, maybe there's something you've missed.

I also assume you're using func_trains for the laser?
DO your trains have origins?

im usesing env_beam and its targeted on 2 func_trains

origins do they need that??
cuz i made a pillar that moves and that diddent need eny origin

Every time you make a func_train, it should have an origin. (Especially dealing with lasers)
It's good practice, because sometimes you'll get trains that spawn at the map's origin, or rotate on the origin.

ok thanks i got it to work i found out the problems

the crash part was because i had deleted the hlvis part of the bat to only make it detect eny bad surfice extents

and the origin was the problem

so thanks so much dude

no problem
