sure you typed everything in right?
hmm... i wanna join in this one (make it the first), but i really don't feel like mapping at the moment. oh, dont get me wrong, i have some great ideas, but... sigh... ill see what i can do. 
skals - if you read what he wants again, i think youll find he doesn't want the door to only open once. he wants the door to open whenever he uses it more than once, and the door only opens once.
The 0 delay before close is likely the problem, as previously said.

Delay before close 0 is probably why it stays open. some glitch, I expecy, but Im suprised it opens when its set to 0 instead of instantly closing...I always thought delay before close was the time between the door being fully open and the door starting to close?
i was wondering when you'd mention that.

ahhh, i see. thank you.
i already said 
i meant like for half life, you always see those rectangular ones
i was jus wondering how the member search works, cause I just decided to search for the first name that came into my head (which happened to be "Ant"), and MY name came up a little way down, even though I dont even have a N or T in my name. did it search for every name that has those letters in it or something?? 
a cylindrical vent? thats a new one. 
gees, noone seems to be answering my questions these days :rly:
gees, thatd take a bit of doing.
and the crashing? 
[EDIT] Ahh, nevermind then. I'll just change around the setup.

say, that's an idea.
Don't ask such questions in this thread, please.

so does noone know, or what??
Someone should really find a way to implement something like a trigger_random, it'd make things easier.
hey, that map doesnt work. I stuck a box around it and plugged in a playerstart, and it crashed the moment the map started. I dont get how its supposed to work anyway, the buttons target things that dont exist
hmm... that might have been where i thought i saw it
whats edicts? i havent come across that term before. 
hmm, where is that? i cant find it 
yep, half-life won't be able to well, if at all.
btw, it's "wondering"

well, it was decals of some kind.
but yeah, fitting a texture to a hugely bigger face will cause problems, as my experience shows. Also having a texture need to chop itself up a huge number of times to cover a face does it too.

i dunno. i'm pretty sure it was bullet holes...
yeah, they did. it was called spritetrain or something along those lines. i won't bother checking. 
Tetsu0: i think i get what you're saying, but wouldn't that just work if the box only moved along the one axis? if the info_target was just in front of the box, you wouldn't be able to move the box further away or closer to the laser without the laser either ending in midair or inside the box... right?
doesn't decals get scaled up or down with the texture? Like, shooting at a massively scaled wall would make a bullet hole a cannonball could go through?
i think that would be pretty easy with spirit of half-life, if you have it
This might be important to an idea I have for a map, so i want to make sure whether or not it can be done.
Is it possible to have a box (or crate or something along those lines) that respawns (when triggered) and can produce a randomly chosen contents out of a few items when broken (like, produces either handgun ammo, satchels or medkits, but nothing else)?
It obviously requires a func_breakable, but i don't know 'bout those properties.

thanks, that should help a lot
you know how maps over 1 or 2 or whatever megs have to be hosted from a site and be linked to it? i aint the most web savvy, so i wonder if sum1 could tell me of some sites i could use for this purpose?
they were changeing the skys at the end of opposing force (in the osprey with the gman), weren't they?
is there any way in half-life (or spirit) to make a brush or... something... so you can shoot a brush and the decal appears, but the bullet goes through the brush to hit something on the other side? (kinda like the glass in certain areas of hl2.)
i didn't have to try to hard for this here...
when you use the entity guide, you can't go back to a category by clicking on the name up top. (sure you can click back, but still, it's an error i belive). Just something I thought I might bring up. 
Have you installed this Phineas Bot under Won HL or under Steam HL?Won. I've tried using it with steam before. Don't work (at least when I tried to do it).
But I should try that... Rhobot first... just to see...
And I found the edit button (heh heh... sigh)...
But I've used Phineas Bot plenty of times before. Why dosn't it work now? (If there is an edit button, it mustn't be obvious otherwise I would have used it by now?) 
My version is only v1.1.0.6 . :
Doesn't anyone know how I can fix this?
Who's going to constantly keep up with renaming the thread to match the current competition?Can't the... owner (?) of the site make another thing (HL Engine Disscussion, etc.) based around Mini-Compos?
Gee, thanks. 
Also, it says that the game DLL is outdated, but I just got it, like, a couple of hours ago.
I recently downloaded a bot mod called Phineas Bot. As soon as it gets to the part where it actually has to load (console), it says a whole heap of stuff, something like: "0 0000 svc_bad" or something like that. Why? 
Got it! For some dumb, dumb, incredibly dumb reason, copying the wads into where hammer was and using them, it works. But I don't see how missing the wads stopped rad, vis and bsp from working at all.
Actually this is the first map I've done on this computer, but hang on, I'll find out...
Umm... no... hang on... no... Basicly all it says is that the wads can't be found and that hlbsp, hlrad and hlvis don't work because "there was an error compiling the map". :
Does the landmark need to be in the same place on each map or does it have to be the same place in relation to the trigger_changelevel? And does the changelevel FROM one room still have to exist in the other if the swap is one way? I dunno how trigger_changelevel works.
Well, that explains the wads, but... all the map is is a hollow box with a info_player_start in it. And the only config I have on this particular computer is Half-Life.
I have a problem with compiling (again). For some reason when it compiles it shows all the signs of a leak ("there was an error compiling the map"), except on bsp, which says that it couldn't find any of the wads (yes, I have tried resubmitting the wads). But there IS NO LEAK!!! Any help?... At all?... And are the "non-existant" wads (that I know exist) the problem?
Is Yaw up/down, left/right or do I just suck at map making?
I've got the origins, but now the tank dosen't move at all! :
