ive been having problems with trigger_once's too. in some places in my map for NO reason and NO error the map just crushes when i go into the trigger_once. and i have no errors and no problems with the triggers.

talking about final destination, i found final destination 2 quite disturbing. i stopped watching it when the glass wall fell ontop of that boy and gibbed him... that was really disturbing.

in Adding sound to footsteps/texture Post #257308
what strider said. i dont think i know what folder it is tho. maybe just plain valve/the mods folder.

also im not sure if S is a valid one. are you tryingto get sand?

EDIT: if you include the sound file into your zip file and the player puts it into the right directory then yeah it will work for them.

you know some one should make a special gld source code that utterly disables cheats when added to that mod, so the player atleast trys to do something and think caaaaarefully before noclipping.

the map is nice. altho you do have to put some work on the blank (crap) side of the map. maybe add some of those pipes? or perhaps a large or maybe two large entrance doors, to add some sense of reality to the map... what you could also add is some balconies and make some of them accesible.

Edit: oh, and whats with the long pipes that lead nowhere? maybe make the middle ones lead the player all the way to the other side of the map? or maybe a sewer system? :)

well they dont show up and nither does level change work. i say you should fix it, because that is very unusal of the engine to do so... maybe remake the whole map. theres not much to it really... you could also try making the cocoon bigger

hey, is p1v3 the last mission? i no cliped all around the final spot and couldnt find anything that would lead me to a new level :(

and i found a terrible bug. you know the map that didnt load before? well that happened again. so i saved the game, reloaded to that spot and loads of stuff showed around me, including the gman. i dont understand whats the problem, but when i first entered the map there were almost nothing in it. now i load it and voala, i see tons of stuff in it. :\

edit: hey i might of gotten stuck in the cocoon somehow.

um, there are a few questions i wanted to ask about the latest compo.

1. Can we only enter one entry?

2. if i post my compo26 map into the map vault before the competition finishes, will i be disqualified?

3. Is it ok if one of my maps contains two or more .bsp files (linked together with trigger_change levels)?

in Door only opens and closes once. Post #256529
at, im not sure if he wanted that. he wants it to open once then c lose right afterwards without being openable again.

3mail, the trick with triggers is that you can do exactly this. if the player triggers the trigger in one side of the room, the door opens and he goes torugh, then the door closes, he wont be able to trigger it again cause the trigger is in the other room :>

Hm, because of my steam problems i couldnt complete my map so i started making a new one, and i kinda like the new one better so i put aside the temple one. My new one will be a modern building one. it wont really be a puzzle with mazes etc (well i might add that later.) but it will have alot of brain challenges.

You meen like in NS? or the way chicken-fist added a lobby in SP mode of his FL mod? im afrade both of them use coding, but you might aswell just add a lobby room to your map with weapon strips in this lobby room and then a teleport that teleports you into the map. or you could also put lots of teleporters in this room and then add a trigger_changelevel to all of them so that when the player enters it his client triggers level change for himself.

in Door only opens and closes once. Post #256494
um im not sure, but i have an idea.

on one side of the door, add a trigger_once or trigger_multiple that triggers the func_door_rotating to open. when the player goes trough it and the door closes, he wont be able to get back again cause the trigger is on the other side. simple
