Damn

That makes them do nothing

Is there a way to make grunts and aliens attack each other and to ignore the player all the time

That wont work he'll just get stuck in the ceiling

I think I'll enter this compo just wondering if you're entering a map do you just submit it to the map vault

It says there are brushs outside world, discarded brushes and plane with no normal you're best bet is in map bar select go to brush number and for example in #entity type in the number from compile log if there is one and in #brush type in the number given in the compile log and it will got to that solid and then just delete the selected solid

Is spore that game where you get to control the dominant species on a planet as it evolves

Thanks a lot for taking the time out to give me suggestions and while I'm here I thought I might mention that a sequel to Company of Heroes has been announced http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/companyofheroes/news.html?sid=6168644

Im open to console suggestions i have an xbox 360 and i hear dthat you need a dual-core pc to play supreme commander of course I could be wrong

Why is it when you decompile HL maps you get map information that says something like 30000 faces if this is true how did valve run the game

whats shader model 3 but thanks for all you're suggestions I will seriously consider them any DVDs you could suggest

My exams will be over in a few weeks and ill be free from school I havent biught a game now in over 15 months and i'm planning on buying some games during the summer so just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on what games to buy

I just updated to half life .fgd 3x and now I have a multi-threaded flag for my multi-manager, just go to the entity guide and there is a link there just download that

How come no one here has considered that part of the reason terrorists want to kill westerners because of Bushs screw you foreign policy and of course Tony Blair is his little lacky

Um i tried something like that with lights but the multimanagers in my hammer dont have a multithreaded flag what do I do ?

Usually the compile log tells you the brush number or entity number so if it does in the maps pull down bar there is a go to brush number and type in the brush number and/or entity number it will go to it and your best bet is to delete the offending brush

Oh right I forgot that ti is very tricky to see the bar at the side that says Half Life tutorials

Okay then well will someone send/host me the background noise for Ravenholm please
Edit: Please

What so you can justify the fact that all the questions that the person asked could all be answered by reading the tutorials

Good god what is the point of having tutorials on this website if people are going to ignore them

I dont have hl2 on pc

Actually I forgot does anyone know where I download the ravenholm mp3 in the first place

Okay thanks

You know the background noise in Ravenholm that I think is suppossed to be a fast zombie or something and the same sound is in the tunnel at the beggining of sand traps but anyway does anyone know where I can get this sound in .wav format for Half life

I'll tell you whats bullshit the fact that on the same day as the shootings over 200 iraqis died in car bombings at once yet there was no news coverage

Great thanks

Well my script involves the scientist hammering against a window to get out when a zombie comes and kills him and I used a scripted sequence with move to instantaneous but once that happens the zombie stops moving rather than killing the scientist

I know that there is already a topic on this by me in the forum but since people stopped posting I decided to make a new one so I have a sequence with a zombie and scientist but the zombie kills the scientist before the sequence starts and when I teleport in the zombie the zombie for some reason refuses to move no matter what and also how do you make a monster repeat a sequence thanks

Just wondering if atom doesnt visit any more who appoints moderators

Can you only have a max of three toggle lights in one map because I have roughly 6 toggle facelights which can only be turned off when in conjunction with normal lights

Shouldnt this topic be in the general discussion forum

I cant get monsters to repeat the sequence I have checked the repeatable flag and i've typed a number into the repeat rate ms alright I have the zombie teleport in but after that he refuses to move no matter what I do how do I fix this

Im not willing to code the game code because the last time I tried that with a game it had terrible results of which im not going to describe here

Well does a scripted sequence disable the prisoner flag when it is finished

Yes and why did you post the same thing twice

I'm trying to make a zombie and a scientist do a scripted sequence but I have a problem before the scripted sequence is activated the zombie kills the scientist and I know that you can make them stnad next to each other before doing something so what do I do

Ok I wont double post from now on but what if I converted the music to a .wav format and used an ambient generic to play it and use an env_global to activate the ambient_genric in the next level

Ive never used hint and skip before but I did what you said with origin textures on the map that has that compile log and it worked

Oh but then why do I get that error sometimes on a map that has no origin textures

A thought occured would an env_global work

What do you mean a non-rotating entity

This is the compile log

I dont think I can combine the two maps because it will have faces of 4000+ and as it is one map take half an hour to compile I have submited the two maps to the unfinished stuff so you guys can see if you can possibly combine the two together

Dammit why didnt valve allow us to have music go from one level to another

I want it so that music that starts in one level to keep playing when the next level starts how is this done.

Im still getting the error map not found on server and the configuration setup is right but it only occurs when I put in some prefabs what do I do
