he can always use a shootable button(either visible or invisible), and have the button target a mm which targets a shooter and an explosion and a render. that way the explosion can be repeated.

I want the doors to open when you walk up to them, no pressing "use", and then I want them to shut after 5-6 seconds. What options will I need to set to achievewell, you can give both sliding doors the same name, and set their "delay till close" attribute to 5 or 6. then put a trigger_multiple where you want the player to be standing when the door gets activated, and put the name of the doors in the "target" atribute.
note that the default "delay before reset" value of the trigger_multiple is 10 seconds. if you want the door to be able to be re-triggered more quickly, you can lower that value.
also check the dors tutorial here if you still have questions.
Also I would like to know if a breakable can have more than one target on break.well you can always give multiple entities the same name, then the breakable will target them all.

What, you mean that I can't see through the see-through cylinders in hammer?yes, that's what i mean.
the map needs to be compiled then run in half-life before your entity will be see-through. and by compiled, i mean: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorial.php?id=35
i dont know why people don't answer your questions, but it might be that it's a lot easyer for some people to reply to a question about how to make a ladder, for instance, than it is for them to read a compile log and find what's wrong...
and why didn't you run RAD?
and why didn't you run RAD?
I've selected a cylinder that I want to make see-through, right-clicked on it, clicked tie to entity, set the Render mode to texture, and finally set the FX amount to 10 (I've also tried 1 and 50). Yet it doesn't make my cylinder see-through. Help me please!this may be a dumb question but... did you compile the map?
tell us noob, and we can ban himsad...
Does anybody have a good technique for coming up with original material?i don't really know if there's a substitute for imagination. just think about what you would find fun in a game. what kind of stuff would you like to see/do in a game.
maybe you could play other peoples maps and figure out things that would make them better/more fun, then work on incorperating those ideas into a map of your own. getting to know the half-life entities also helps in giving you ideas for implementing them in novel ways.
sometimes i find that when i lay in bed and am drifting off to sleep, if i think about my current mapping project, i can come up with new ideas...
good luck
use a train...
i had that problem when i did some funky vm... walls dissapeared from certain angles. i think when i made the wall into a func_wall it corrected the prob. dont know if that's what your problem is, but hey...
i think your brick will go back up when it hits the player. if you want a more realistic smashing brick use a train.
screen looks good
yes with a few modifications, but some of the ents may not be supported by cs.
ahh... well welcome back to mapping then
it's a good time to get back into it with half-life 2 on the way.

1. make it a func_wall
2. set it's "Render Mode" to "Solid"
3. set its "FX Amount to "255"
if you need more instructions post again.

if you're still stuck, post your compile log so the experts can take a look and see if there are any obvious problems.
doh, or you could look here

http://cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorial.php?id=22take a look at this example map. it has sliding doors with pieces of transparent glass in them: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=2076
or if your just asking how to make sliding glass doors transparent, just set the render properties of the door how they described above (render mode: texture, fx ammount: plus or minus 100).

no. unfortunately you cant combine entities like that in half-life.
theres this cool new thing called a forum search... just incase you missed this thread from a couple days ago

fyi, the multisource is fine if you are targetting it with buttons. but if you want to use trigger_multiples, and have 2 players stand at 2 different spots to activate it, the multisource will not work reliably.
the reason is that each time the trigger resets while someone is standing on it, it will toggle the on/off state of the multisource. so that means a player doesn't need to be standing on each trigger to have the multisource activate your door settup. one player can go to both triggers to set it off, or 2 players can touch the triggers at different times and the multisource will activate.
thats why i posted the example map... to show a pretty easy workaround to this shortcomming of the multisource. i don't see an easyer way to achieve what you originaly asked... but if you come up with one i'd like to find out what you did.

uhh, give it more sides?
Anonymous put a nice example map of his solution in the map vault. Cool stuff!hey thanks!
and afaik, this cannot be done reliably with a multisource.
here, take a look at this example map i made that shows exactly how it works

sorry but im not good at gammar or that stuff if i used it it would look worse then it is now[dont worry about the grammar police :P, just try and make your posts as understandable as possible.
glad the example worked...
Not reallyno, really... IMO some of the tuts could be names a little better... like the USING Sprites tut, could just be Sprites or Sprite Usage. We all know where to look for specific info, but a noob might just look in the S's for info in sprites... kind of frustrating for a beginner, IMO
did the example map i made do what you wanted?
if so, i just gave the hurt the same name as the water and i have the button targetting them both.
and the last anonymous that was giving instructions was a different member who wasn't logged on. you can tell me because you can click on my name----->

give the hurt a name
have it start off
target the hurt when you initiate the flood
target the hurt again when the flood is over

what i described above should work perfectly for what you want.
while a player is standing in a "special spot" (on a trigger multiple) one of the doors will move out of the path of the beam.
when both players are in the right spot, both doors are out of the beams path, and nothing will block it from hitting the shootable button.
when the shootable button gets hit by the beam, it activates and targets the "func_doors that act as a platform and four walls of glass"
i didnt mention it before, but the beam, 2 doors, and shootable button setup should be out of the players sight.
here's a low tech diagram:
---- beam
{ target
[ door
< shootable button
-------[ [ < { neither player is in the right spot
p.s. what mod is it for?

ya some of the tuts could be named a little better imo...
umm... i think this is what you want:
type "map mapname" in the hl console (without the "'s and mapname = the name of the map you want to run)
whats a multimap?
and if you're not using steam, i believe you can find the map names in your pak folder.
i'm really not sure though if that is what you wanted to know...

yeah, dont run rad or put in a leak
yay... tha racists have seen the error of their ways =D

I have 5 doors that are linked with a multimanager and I would like them to "activate" when two trigger_multiples are triggered.make a damaging beam hit a target.
put a shootable button in front of the target (this targets the 5 doors you want to activate).
put 2 doors in front of the shootable button (the doors are targeted by the trigger_multiples)
when both trigger multiples are triggered, both doors move out of the path of the beam. the beam then hits the shootable button and activates your 5 doors.
thanks... you liked my impersination of you then?
cant we just delete gone latins profile? i don't like what he says...
do what rabid said and set the rendermode to additive on the sprite with the red words... that should work.
And yes, seventh, while the anonymous poster seems to be thinking a bit more, he is nonetheless a coward and non-entity.zzz
wake me up when you have anything to say that isnt retarded...
