CS Mapping Newbie Created 19 years ago2005-03-23 11:57:39 UTC by lionel

Hi... I'm new to mapping and I had a couple of questions :oP

1. Is it possible to add any charaters to CS maps... aliens ? turrets ? I know I've never seen any maps that do have other characters... but is it possible ?

2. in my first map (a hostage rescue map) I couldn't get the hostages to
follow me... am I missing something ?

Any Advise would be appriciated

Thank you

Ok well you can not add characters unless you code them in as well as modelling them.

As for the hostages, you must place an entity called node_path (something similar)

You place these like bricks in a path e.g. the hostages will go in the areas that you place these stones otherwise they can walk anywhere including getting stuck in walls.

Once you have placed these in, you compile the map and type a command in...

I have forgotten this command but I will find out later on unless someone else here answers before me.

Actually it depends on which type of CS you're working with, CS:S or 1.6, which didn't require info_nodes afaik.

That command for CS:S is nav_generate btw, habboi.

1. No, you cannot add monsters into CS. The only monster I know that is allowed in CS is monster_scientist, and that's not even an actual monster, that's a hostage. However, if you are willing to download some Metamod plugin named Monster by botman (I think that exists), then it is possible.

2. If you mean you didn't go up to them and press your "USE" key and they don't follow you, then why dont you try that next time? If not, then blame the hostage following code, I guess. But the hostages do not have to have a path defined to follow you.

3. You posted in the wrong forum. This is the Map and Mods section, where people show off their maps and their Mods. I think you're looking for the HL1 Mapping Questions forum. That one is the first when you enter the list of forums.
