There are no bad solids in the map and it ran fine before
this type of thing also started happening on battlefield1942
can anyone explain it?

what do you think the cause of this is?

might not be this, but maybe its something else, i dunno, random crashes, but arg

37

im not sure, is there a fast way to count ?

no, is there a limit to the about of breakable objects?
cos as far as i can work out its when i add more breakables

no! it wasnt because of a texture, i dnno what it is, it just seems to sometimes not load the map, any suggestions please?

u can read the help on hammer for that but heres a question 4 ya:
can u make proper ropes climable

wow, weird, all that was making it crash was a texture of a vent

when i compile sometimes it gets the the loading screen , cursor doesnt dissapear and its froze up. Heres the log ( MODELS didnt stop it from loading and the sky and reflections work fine)

I can compile with 'run bsp' on but when i put the other options on (VIS and RAD), it takes AGES to compileand run.
Is this normal or is something wrong?

(pentium4 2.40GHz
512 ram
gforce4200 Ti
runs hl2 fine)

I know this is asked loads but all i can find is examples for cs on steam.

I want to set hammer up so i can make HL maps and run them on steam.
All i need is a GameCfg.wc for Hammer and i can work it out from there.
I think.

is it possible to make ladders that swing down and only once theyre down they act as ladders? (ie: loft sliding ladders etc)

could u have a link to the verc site or the page plz

the moving sprites [eg: sprites/fire.spr] and so on are all flat and im having a problem where they come out of the wall when i turn at them.

Is there a way to make the sprite flat (the type where if you look at it from the side its not visible cos its paper thin)
ps. im not talking about brushes here, im talking about preper sprites.

i mean invisible wall

how dyo make a wall that stops players getting past?

it dont matter!
it was cos of the option clear previous levels, although ive neverr messed with it , it seems to have done the trick

i know how to use the changelevel but (obviously i dont) it changes level but then it wont change level again. hard to explain
theres 3 lvls
1 links to 2
2 '' '' 3 and 2
3 links back to 2
Its basically a building with 3 floors but when i go to the 2nd floor or top floor it doesnt change level after that. Although if i start on floor3.bsp it works going down but then doesnt work.
Can someone help me or make a map example of 3 level changes.

does anyone know the scale of centimeters to hammer units?
i want to get some accuracy of scale in my maps

im making a wad file and was wondering how you make a custom light emitting texture

and on the solid mode u can ttype in 255 for FX Amount, it changes the see thru ness of the barrs

what about this then:

same problem but with glass; its bright in the dark!

ah, cheers, ill try that.

sentences .txt:
// fail to follow player any more
SC_STOP0 scientist/stop1
SC_STOP1 scientist/stop2
SC_STOP2 scientist/stop3
SC_STOP3 scientist/stop4

if i added another string would the scientist say it when 'fail to follow player any more' happens. ( randomly out of the 5 ) ?

how do i add a new skingroup to a model?
how do i ad a new body to a model? lol argh.

so u cant have a duplicate of the same monster but slightly different
ie:
monster_zombie -normal HL zombie
monster_zombie2 -modded skin/new custom monster

ok, so ive made my own monster, its in mod/models/monster.mdl
how do i put this new monster into a map?

Where can i get single-player model replacements for HL.
(cos im making a mod and need new stuff!)

yeh, do u have to make a pak file and edit the sentences.txt in it?

ahh, nice work all of ya!
so u just put a trigger_transition named the same as the info_landmark over where the player is.
Cool, case closed lol.

how do i link the trigger_transition with the level or do i just throw it in there? Meh, ill go test stuff out

cant find anythin usefull on there

youre talking about 'New level unit: Yes, clear previous levels' i think,
it dont work

Map properties:
"New level unit: Yes, clear previous levels"
doesnt work either

could but that wouldnt help the dead bodies floating around.

its not that they follow, its just that corpses and stuff appear on the next map even thought the two locations are supposed to be unrelated in the game.

ok, good that were stuck on the same thing, dont feel so alone now.
Someone Help us!

I know how to make trigger_changelevel's using landmarks and therefore how to get NPC's to move through levels with the player...

___________BUT__________

How do you make a fresh level change so no scientists, entities or enimies (except your weapons of course) follow you to the next map?
