Pendulums... Created 20 years ago2003-11-10 20:38:20 UTC by Marlborometal

Do really the pendulums work nice in Half Life???. I know that this entity was originally coded for Quake 2 (for just one pendulum that appeared in the game!!!!) and I don?t remember seeing anything working like a pendulum in the HL maps (but I remember in OF).
I?ve done a pendulum, just for fun, and it behaves strange, without keeping an origin of rotation and a center point. ?Is this a common problem?.

It needs an origin brush at the place where it's "fixed" to (i.e. ceiling).

Halflife pendulums are quite buggy, don't rely on them

Actually check out some of the prefab sites for Half-life. There are a few clocks with working pendulums so u can see the coding for it

Hmmm, seems my origin brush may be screwing it all, don?t see another explanation. I?d check out original Hl but will rely on these prefabs to learn.
By the way Jobabob, isn?t it strange that everything I ask for is buggy :P??.

func_pendulum is not buggy they works good in Half-Life you must only learn to handle them.
Many tutorials tell us to rotate the brush model to have right sving on the pendulum don't do what, use the "Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) to set the svings angle.

I have cut out a func_pendulum from one of my Timefall maps and upload it on exempel map in Map valut as func_pendulum

Tlax, I?m downloading it now but, can you be a little more specific to me please???. I don?t fully understand what to do with the Pitch Jaw Roll.

pitch YAW roll.

roght. pitch yaw roll. X Y Z. Z controls up and down. Y and X controll its rolling and turning. i dont know which ones though.

All right Ministeve... By the way, mispelled YAW... What does JAW mean?.

the thing you chew with

the jaw is the lower section of the skull. ur a teacher and u dont know that.

Let?s kill him :P... Ministeve, no offense but if I?d speak english I would know. It?s such a hard lot for me to write and read in a foreign idiom so, imagine how it would be if I had to teach in it!. Guess not every teacher in Great Britain knows how to spell and write "Mandibula" and what?s it?s meaning, am I right?.

HEY IM SWEDISH AND I KNEW JAW!!! nanaananaaana im smarter then a teacher nananananananaaaaaaaaaa.
hihihihiihihhiihihihih

Let?s kill him too ZombieLoffe, you will copy 1000 times "I will not laugh my ass off at teachers"!!!!! :P.... By the way, did you know that in the European Northern Countries you recieve a better idiom education ?till the fact that you are bilingual???.
And, well, as I said, I?m a teacher ?cos I?ve just finished my pedagogical studies.
Still I?ve got to do some exams (set in Summer, 2005) to get a lifetime job, guess I should call myself "Working Teacher" then (If I pass). I?d teach only music although it doesn?t allow me to look over everyone?s shoulder on the area, anyway, teachers in Spain were good seen 80 years ago, when education was not available to everyone. Now that everyone goes to school and children got more and more privileges in education (imagine a law telling that they will never repeat a year, even if they?ve done nothing!!!... They do nothing, laugh at you and then tell their parents you laughed at them so you end up without your job) we?re not good seen. Hope situation changes with new law changes.
But I?m getting out of topic. Let?s end spamming and solve this like men in the Stuff forum :P.

well...! the... pedagogical... thing.... hydrathermial... theoritical... REINDEEER

ok no more spamm i just had to say that

Wow, a teacher
ooooo... from the outside...
hehe
g'luck wi' stuff

Kill... Zombieloffe... Cut Throat... Murder :P.

No spamming in the mapping forum, remember?
