Where can i learn more about it? the HL entity guide wasn't very helpful i must say, as for the crossfire map i decompiled it gave me a serious brain meltdown, did not get alot of that either its hard or im retarded

Hello everybody. I need help with a entity problem i've got I have Built a Racing map for cstrike using func_vehicles. The point is that when you win, you get locked in a small cage then everybody dies and get a few seconds in the spectator mode to se who won the race then the person in the cage dies all done by trigger_multiple and trigger_hurt.
All works well exept that the trigger_hurt won't reset after 1st run so you die when you spawn.
I have tried ticking trigger once (start off always on)and the Trigger_multiple is set to reset after 10 seconds so it resets when the player in the cage dies. hope you understand the problem otherwise ill figure out a way to clearify it. cheers

I tried to use HLCC on it but it still doesn't work it compiles but then the game crashes when i try to start it, i get this message: BAD: -1:svc_bad
Wrote erroneous message to buffer.dat
Host_Error: no precache: .

sorry about bringing up this old thread but it wont include my .wad file isn't getting included i searched the forum and saw a few people having this problem, is there any solution to it ?

yeah i found it i made a testmap in a "small box kinda thing" i noticed that when you had come back to life you would have to wait about 5 seconds before the trigger had ben reset how ever this might not be a problem because you wont reach the glass for 20-30 seconds after you have spawned
if there is a problem "I'll be back"

yeah, thanks Slayer it worked but now i have come accross another problem if you fail and die and restart, the windows won't break probably because it will only trigger once but the windows go back but the trigger_once don't so you hit it and stop, maybee you can put the flag trigger_only on the func_breakable and it will work?(I ask only because it takes some sweet time to compile it)

I'am doing a map in wich the character will come flying thru the air and hit some glass windows thats hangs in the air (for no reason) but the thing is, the glass must break without stopping me in mid-air, I hit the glass I stop then the glass breakes, there must some sort of func_break thing that you can place in front of it and make it break just before i acctualy hit it, if it can be brush based it would be nice sence it is kind of big windows...

Is it possible to add textures to a map without creating a .wad file with em in it?, because i've played maps with wierd pictures on them without downloading .wad files

nope if you like i can send you demos ive made from Half-Life1 showing a couple of places where there is water, nope im pretty sure it was prodigy

exactly where I cant remember but often when i climb/slide up a mountain to a "forbidden" place there are splashes i know when i played cs alot you could slide up at de_prodigy on a purple/pink mountain like thing next to a house and get in to a void where you from there could swim around watching down on the map from above

I've found alot of areas that are melted/mounted together with no visible edges inside of them, eg: a box on the floor has no bottom and inside of the box you can not see the floor exept a black void, and in some places there is water covering certain areas and making "splash noises" when you hit it(maybee it's just a bug). So if you add hmmm, sky textues(and/or water) to all the places the player wont see it will create a void and reduce lag?. If you have any answers or any other fairly easy ways to reduce lag post it here and let me know. peace out

trigger_push 1000000 , and when you shoot at it the bullets will come flying back at you

Holy Crap u were right, i love u svevie

I want to have a door entity the shape of a large brick (wich I've areaddy made) to slam down on ones head and slam them to death when walking under it, unfortunaly i can't get it to move down instead it moves left or forward by mixxing with Pitch, Yaw, Roll what numbers must i enter to get it to move down ?
