Please tell me what i the meaning of that multi_source in there , cause I found no target ( ?!).
The multisource acts as somekind of uhm... lock. When its triggered, the small buttons which have the name of the multisource in the master property are enabled, allowing you to usekey them.
And secondly: if you trigger a func_wall with a button texture it'll change the texture ?
You got that right. Only has effect on toggleable textures (+A +0) textures.

Working on it.
Edit:

http://www.themightyatom.nl/stuff/buttons.rmf

In this example, all four buttons are disabled. Using them won't do anything. When you use the main power button, the fout buttons are enabled and can be used to turn the lights (in my example small on/off indicators) on and off. When the main power button is used again, the four buttons can only turn the lights off, not on, until the main power button is on again.

Now, I want to make 1 main button to switch everything on and off. The button acts as a power supply button.
When on, the individual buttons can have the option to switch on or off.
When off, the individual buttons can't do anything.
You're in luck, because i have an exact same kind of setup in one of my maps. I can put the entire entity setup in an empty room so you can have a look at it.

Should i?

So you want to make your own vox/fvox sounds?
You can use the individual words in the vox and fvox folders to make your own vox and fvox sentence. For example, if you feel the need, you can create this:

deeoo deeoo, attention all personnel, whisky for gordon freeman immediately

Take a look in the sentences.txt file (located in the sound folder within the pak0.pak) and see how these sentences are put together to create lines.

The same can be done for the human grunts:

shit!, request! grenade! up! my! ass!, sir!

Note that you can change the speed, pitch and duration of each individual word by placing (e#), (s#) (p#) (t#) after each word, where # is a number. Placing a comma represents a short pause.

Experiment.

in Smoke??? Post #239329
Using a couple of env_sprites with a smoke sprite gives you the best results. Just make sure that you make each of the smoke sprites bigger when its further away from the source (a hole in a pipe or something).

As for the cycler_wreckage, placing it in your map is enough, it'll automatically spawn black smoke ingame. Not sure if it can be customized though.

in Easy way to find grid numbers? Post #239010
Move your mouse onto the grid and look at the statusbar, you'll a bunch of numbers (the coordinates) that change when you move around on the grid.

To find leaks using the coordinates in the statusbar, you need to have basic knowledge about x y z coordinates.

in Map Building for CS:Source Post #238951
Wrong forum. Moved.

Note that you can't use the old VHE (version 3.4/3.5) for Source, everything from version 3.5 and below is for HL1 based games. To map for Source, you need to install the Source SDK which is available from within Steam and thus you must have a Steam account in order to use it. A new version of Hammer is included with the SDK wich allows you to map for Source games.

Change the name. The name "The Ship" has already been used for a mod for Source.

Screenshots are a bit small, but it looks nice though.

in elevator problem Post #238010
Depends for wich mod your mapping for...

Spirit is only usefull for singleplayer maps. If you're mapping for HLDM, CS, DOD, TFC, whatever, then Spirit will be useless in this case. Spirit is actually a mod by itself. Spirit maps with Spirit technology (ie: Spirit entities) require a fully fully functional installation of Spirit in order to run those maps, just like dod maps require dod installed to play and cs maps require cs installed to play. You cant use Spirit for other maps other than the Spirit mod itself.

1. You can't have entities move other entities unless you use Spirit of Half-Life.

2. The solution to your button problem is in the Flags tabpage of the button properties.

in HL2 SDK not loading Post #238004
Not spam, you can't even spell the most common and most used word on this site correctly, which is mapping.

Anyway, CSS mapping still required the old version of the SDK, i believe you have to use the -engine ep1 parameter to force the SDK to load the old previous version of Hammer.

in [UTILITY] Compilator 3 Public Beta Post #237950
Just found another bug, this one won't affect the functionality of the application, so you keep using it. Here's the problem and a temporary fix:

Problem: When specfying a new .map to compile, the batch code doesn't get updated.

Fix: Goto one of the compile stages tabs, check and then uncheck a random checkbox. Now the batchcode will be updated with the new .map file and you're ready to compile.

This wil be fixed in 1.0.3.

It'll be in version 1.0.3.

The reason why im not doing this for Source is due to my limited knowledge about the Source compile tools and its huge amount of options.

in Fixing Textures in the corners Post #237629
they are strange. is there a way to fix them ?
Sure. Just shift the texture on the right or left to the right or left until they match (and thus removing the seam).

Use the Texture Application Tool to do it.

This is great, really.

A couple of tips for you, Striker:
  • Stop making "modification" maps.
  • Stop copying other peoples work. Its considered stealing in the mapping world, which is a crime, basically.
  • Come up with your own idea's. You'll get much more respect if you make things yourself.
