I'm making some scripted sequences & other scripted stuff.
I think I'll sort the problem out myself actually, but thanks anyway.
The brush that I think is in the line between grunt1 & info_player_start has a width of 32 units, except it's width at either end is 16 units.
It looks like this:
. .
<->
16 units
32 units
where the dots are vertices. Does that make sense?

Consider this:
key: m = info_player_start
+ = solids
[
++++-++++
key: m = info_player_start
+ = solids
- = func_door
[

mCan this entity see through walls?
does zbot work with 1.5? I mean without coding & everything.
I got an idea of a real minor improvement that could be made to this site. In threads that have > 1 page, you could put the page numbers of the thread underneath so that people can access any page number from the thread without going into the thread first. If you're confused, check this out:
"//" & "*/whatever*/" indicate comments.
The way the site is like now
ToDo //thread name
The way the site could look like with my input
ToDo [1,2,3...] // [page numbers]
Was that clear to everyone?

realbot works for 1.6. Just google "realbot" & go to the bots united website. I think joebot works for 1.6 as well (on the bots united website too).
whats a bot?Just in case that was a serious question, a bot is a computer-controlled player that plays in multiplayer games. Eg. a bot for counter-strike (a mod for hl) is e[pod]-bot.
I got a worse thing comment to make. Ages ago I tripped over my brother's shoe when I was running & the toe on the very outside edge of my right foot was bent 90 degrees to the right. A bone was broken in the process.
Doritos are a sort of crisp thing. 'Chips' for you yanks.Yeah, that's what I thought he was referring to, but how can a dog die from getting it's head stuck in one!!? I think he means the chip got stuck in the dog's throat.

Dunno about that one. What mass do you think your refrigerator has?

Foxfire, your site has got nothing or close to nothing.
Yeah I reckon that's a funny av foxfire. BTW Seventh, I read about anti-aliasing & after trying to manually anti-alias something it seems fun & worthwhile. Looking at a copy & pasted version of a page of my maths electronic textbook, though, my anti-alias attempt (with only one layer) looked quite basic indeed. 
Actually rabid, I haven't really noticed much difference in picture quality when converting from .bmp to .jpeg. I am really just saying that any avatars I make in MS paint that are supposed to resemble objects in "real" life look very fake (cartoonish & pixellated even in .bmp). That's why I got my avatar from a wildlife page & saved it in paint rather than do it myself.
How do I make non-pixellated looking images in MS paint? Is this possible?
It's okay i found the problem coolfat.
The doors tutorial doesn't explain yaw, roll, or pitch, explaining these are advanced tools that are not of much use in doors.
Yeah I know what Java is but not necessarily javacode.
Ow, yeah.. I just noticed that i put three of the bsp's in a subfolder in valve/maps. Btw how do I load a subfolder from the hl console? But i still have a problem! i am dead when i change levels from all_levels.bsp to level2.bsp.
Either way, here is some javacode on how to do it .What's javacode?
I did run the map normally in HL. I did double check that all the maps within the package had no errors in them (I got some to do with invalid textures), but no it didn't work.
what's IMO?
Guess what I used for my avatar... MS paint!!!!! lol!
Do people here tend to make their own avatars or get ones off the net?
For those that do make their own avatars, what programs do you use to make them?

Half-Life 5Hopefully they don't call it that. That should name it half-life: /*relevant name/*
Eg. half-life: opposing force
what the hell has gman got to do with the administrator of these forums!!!!!!!
Check out the factorial example in section 2.3 of the cplusplus.com tutorial if you can't figure it out.
You might want to visit the c++ home forums to get extra info as well.

The error was caused by the frame of a door would you believe?!! 
Thanks for that link to the tutorial hefsys.That's okay BL. I also have some other stuff like a win 32 tutorial that might be of interest. Check this out:

I could not get your changelevel example map to work. All I changed from the package you distributed with it was all of the textures that were causing the error in all of the maps. However, when I compiled all_levels.rmf & ran it I got couldn't load level2 error. Any suggestions?
it's okay i fixed it.
read tommy 14's stuff on the error, no errors in hammer.
BTW, is it easily possible to get a screenshot of a map that won't run?
I can't figure out why I keep getting the bad surface extent error in my map "topside_short" (problem section of map vault). There isn't all that much sky, the textures are all fine (scale not too big), map isn't too big.
make a brush using the func_button entity that targets the monstermaker.
Can the administrator of these forums or someone else high up delete black mesa's profile? I was using that profile before but it stopped working so I changed.
Thanks captain p & rabidmonkey!
I know this is embarrassing but will anyone tell me how to get the healthcharger texture to look proper? The texture on my map is tranformed 90 degrees on the z axis from the way it's supposed to look (in the preview). The result is everything that should be on the left side of the texture is on the right side of the texture & the writing "FIRST AID" is displayed backwards.
Use the func_monsterclip entity somehow... that's all I know.
Okay I have uploaded a map into the map vault's problem maps section.

The understanding problem I had was that a tutorial said the sentence name is on the far left & the corresponding wav file is on the same line and to the right.
The format above goes like this: HG_IDLE0 hgrunt/gr_idle1
HG_IDLE0 is the sentence name;
hgrunt/gr_idle1 is the wave filename;
The other example I had in the first post of this thread doesn't follow the above. What do the bracketed terms stand for?

Okay I have uploaded a map into the map vault's problem maps section. Here you can find out my exact problem. I want the lighting effects to be more complex than just running on the x or y axes.
I tried to use func_rotating for both the projector and the beam, except the difficulty arising from that is a lack of control from the projector. Can someone tell me how to get good control out of the func_rotating entity, which I know little about?
I guess the main problem I'm having now is that I want to use brush-based beams for the projector. however, I also want the control of the env_beam entity.
I'm a bit confused what you mean by monitors...do you mean something like a projector?Monitor, projector same difference... I meant a projector.
It's really your choice what to use....the only difference between env_beam and env_laser is that the laser does damage, so only use it if the player gets hurt when he goes through it.Actually both env_beam and env_laser can do the player damage but neither of them have to. According to one of the tutorials on this site called about lasers, the env_beam can do everything env_laser can plus more.
Of course, you'll want a custom fade texture for green, red, etc.what's a fade texture?
I'm wondering how to make those monitors that send out four different colours (eg. red, green, blue, yellow). I am trying to get the monitor to project four beams so that the beams describe a circle or something similar right from the monitor to an object being projected to. Should I use the env_beam entity, the env_laser, a func_illusionary (like what Zombie Loffe did with the sunbeams) or something else for this?
