What exactly are you struggling with? Set the angle, set the speed and it pushes you when you walk into it. Unless you check the "Start Off" flag, then you need to trigger it to turn on somehow.
I could be wrong, but Pietrekder never had a profile here on TWHL as far as I am aware. If they did, it's long gone.
That .qc file is not even remotely similar to the Hgrunts. Your combine elite can't move or shoot because it doesn't have the relevant sequences and code references.
Your .QC has the following for attacking:
The original grunt has this:
That might not be the exact issue though since I can't even open the model in modelviewer. It fails to load.

I've not dabbled in Source for a long time, but is this not just attempting to show a cubemap?

It's quite simple actually. You need a trigger_teleport and an info_teleport_destination.

TSSC is simply saying that coding isn't always necessary when making a mod.

You might want to double check those flags. The flag is "starts open" not "stays open." Uncheck it and set the "Delay before close" to -1
Hey hey, nice work
Yeeeah... I'm pretty sure that would be considered straight up copyright infringement. Safest bet: If you cannot explicitly get permission/the right to use an asset, maybe don't use it.
Something of a TWHL tradition to have an extension or two. 
Damn, that is a shame. At least GoldSRC got a brief little "hurrah" for a time there.
dm_chair was hilarious. It taught everyone (including Archie) that the server had a score limit in a most amusing fashion.
Chum was a lot of fun. Also made me thing that Rust2021 is a no go and to making something a little more thematically unique.
Can I make a suggestion?
Remove dm_rust
Maybe I'll make a dm_rust2021 and actually spent more than a day on it.

Heck of a thread bump. You love to see it when it's this thread.

Just in case the Lords of Coding don't check the site, you might want to ask in the #programming-help channel on the Discord server, linked in the header.
Look forward to seeing what comes out of this.

In Goldsource (HL1), make a new folder within the Half-Life directory. Take a copy of the liblist.gam file from Valve, place it in your mod folder and edit accordingly.
If you're using Steam HL, restart Steam and your mod's name (as set in your liblist.gam file) will appear in the games list. If you're using Xash3D or WON Half-Life, your mod will appear in the Custom Game tab in the main menu.
Once that's done, you can throw whatever files you like into your new mod directory.

Alternatively, you could have also joined the TWHL Discord and asked there.

Yeah, @IHaveAPlan you used the image link and not the direct link. I've fixed it. Cool shot

I'm no coder, but I do know that the lack of damage output and dying in a single hit suggests that your new entities do not have the appropriate entries in the skills.cfg file for their health and attack damage.
You will likely find that Otis and the guard zombie will also die if you try to get them to carry out a scripted_sequence.

I've cancelled more Half-Life mods than I dare count. My older posts on TWHL are absolutely filled with absurd ideas that never got further than a badly written plot summary on the forums and screenshots from a single map.
There is one that made it as far as MODDB though.
Half-Life: Off it's f*cking head! was a joint effort between myself and a handful of TWHL guys, collectively called Demonic Puppy Games. It was going to be a collection of completely random ideas thrown at a wall with a full campaign and insane plotline. We had a few custom features coded but never shown off, a couple of maps and even a bunch of custom music created. It would not have been a good mod, but it was fun to work on for a few months. There are videos floating around on YouTube from a couple of the people involved, but you'll have to find those yourself if you really want to...

First, I never knew that. I didn't figure out how to get the null texture until a little while ago, and I just used the trigger cuz it worked.Well, it seems it doesn't work after all. Haha. Replace the AAATRIGGER with NULL or something else. Just don't use AAATRIGGER for your unseen faces. Problem solved.

I didn't mean to lean in on the rough aspects so much. I'm always happy to see new GoldSRC mods and first time mods are often the most passionate attempts.
Indeed, everything is a learning experience and I hope to see you putting out more mods in future.

And Urby could finish his map.Like I'm already not busy enough not finishing The Core...
I like a challenge in my HL1 mods these days, but I have had to put this down because it is far too frustrating. There are a number of spots where the player is actively robbed of their health. This is level design 101 because you can never predict how much health the player has, unless you have taken steps to ensure that they are maxed out.
There have now been three occasions where I have had to enable godmode in order to progress because I'm constantly below 25HP and either taking unavoidable fall damage (vent drop into gonome corridor) or being jumped by multiple enemies with little to no cover (three vorts at the bottom of an elevator) and unfair fights (Just had three alien grunts spawn behind me and I only have 5HP). This means that I am playing through the maps by slowly peaking corners and glock sniping enemies, rather than engaging in fun combat arenas.
I don't know who playtested this, if anyone, but I don't think this has been tested on Hard. There aren't nearly enough medkits or healing stations beyond the opening few areas.
Other than that some areas are just a little silly. The generator room with the endless spawning zombies, I could see them appearing out of thin air and killing one immediately spawned another. I just kept running around until the door opened to save ammo.
With a bit more testing testing and and a few more passes to add detail to the maps, this could be an enjoyable little map pack. Currently, it's just a little unbalanced and bland looking.

Linux
Linux to me is an operating system for work, rather than play. I say this because it's literally the case for me, but also seems to be the case with the people I work with as well. The folks who use Linux outside of work tend to be the ones that either cover our out of hours support line or simply are not gamers.
I'm a sysadmin and all of our servers are linux based. I was using windows at work for a few years, but when it came to setting up working local copies of sites to triage and fix issues, it made more sense to set it up with Ubuntu. I would say that it is a damn good OS to get to grips with if you prefer developing software over using it.
However, I'm only a web developer between 9AM and 5PM, Monday to Friday. This is when I use Linux.
At all other times, I'm a gamer, so Windows suits me down to the ground.

That's looking good. Nightwatch textures always give great brushwork a little extra kick.
@sirdownloadsalot: That brushwork and the gameplay looks great, but something about the lighting looks off. It's all a little one-note. It looks to use a single colour overall and there isn't a lot of variety and barely any shadows. Talking to a couple of mappers about the shots last night and it could be that you're compiling RAD with too many bounces or there are just too many light sources that are the same colour?
I hate to dwell on the negatives, but literally everything else in those shots and that footage look fantastic!

King Henry VIII 6 marriages
That's a lot of marriages. It's been a long since I learned about Henry VIII and his bat shit crazy methods of trying (and failing) to produce a male heir. Then he got fat and died. It'd be funny if it weren't so horrifying.

It's not really that complicated. Make a path_track entity like you would normally.
Name: path1
Next stop target: path2a
Branch path: path2b
By default, the train will reach path1 and then go to path2a. (the next stop target)
If you target "path1" with a button or some other trigger entity, the train will then hit reach path1 and go to path2b (the branch path)
If you trigger "path1" again, it will switch back to path2a. (the next stop target)

Well, if he seems to be ignoring the nodes entirely, that would suggest that there is a problem with the nodes. Scientists are by far the most finicky of the NPCs to have follow you, but as long as they have a decent network of nodes to follow, they should usually get by.

bold text
I love bold text, I mostly use it for simple headings more than anything else, when I don't want to mess about with larger font sizes and underlines and such. Just a simple heading to start a new thought. There's only one thing better in my opinion, and that's bold in all caps.

The Year 2006
I couldn't tell you what was going on in the world, but 2006 was the year I turned 20 and I left home and started living with my girlfriend. We lived in a flat with no phone line, so I "left" TWHL for about a month. Then we moved to a new place because the flat was dreadful and genuinely nearly put my girlfriend in the hospital. Got a phone line, set up broadband and boom, back online.
I moved from checkouts to administration at the supermarket where I worked, then moved to the bakery because admin was over-staffed, then moved back to admin when somebody left.
I was also working on Kinetix (a doomed Half-Life mod) and was 1.5 years into my TWHL membership. Looking back on my posts though, it was mostly cringe.

There are a lot of potential issues when it comes to editing the decals.wad. If you're exporting, editing the textures in some other program like Gimp or Photoshop and reimporting the textures to the wad, you need to make sure the palette isn't updating. The palette for decals are set up in a specific way. You can see this by opening an existing decal and editing the palette.
