cant get crane to work Created 19 years ago2004-12-21 09:34:31 UTC by Mr Rain

I was trying to play around with making a crane operate in one of my maps, I found a tutorial on this at interlopers. I followed it to the dot, about 4 times, but I just cant get the damn thing to operate, I stand there pressing e key like a maniac and it never starts... has anyone tried making the crane themselves? anyone got any ideas?
thanks

Im an extreme noob, but I think I set it up for HL2, not DM...

Perhaps you would describe your entity setup in a little more detail. If your button isn't working perhaps you should try to focus on that entity. As for me, I haven't read that tutorial and I also don't know where to find it. You haven't provided a link to it either. In conclusion. I and many others haven't got a single idea of how your map looks like.

We can't help you until we know more...

sorry, this is the tute I followed to the dot... maybe if you ahve a chance you can try it out and see if it works for you?

I have tried it and I have pretty much done it showing that any idiot can do it
( ) I really cant think what can go wrong! Make sure there arnt any obstructions blocking it cause that gave me some grief.
Good Luck man

i worked out what it was, it was an obstruction... you have to make sure that your platform is below the little ladder on the side, and not touching at all, then you can get the crane to work fine... thanks

This site has some tutorials, including a crane. There are only 5 tutorials though.

I followed the camera tutorial, but I can't get the camera to work.

I dont know much about HL2 ladders because the sdk came with examples and the ladder example has a lot of entities.

Please make a different thread for asking a different question.

Gonna try the crane tut tomorrow and see if i get it to work
