On the wiki page of the game_counter entity, it says that you can decrement its value by triggering it with a trigger_relay with Trigger State set to 'off'. I've never used this entity so I'm not sure if this will work, best to try and see for yourself.
I don't think 1 is the default value for the health property, should be 0, however, as Bruce pointed out, changing from one entity to another causes the properties from the first entity to carry over to the second entity, including values. This is a bug with Jack. If you have func_detail set as the default entity, the first time you create an entity out of brushes, it'll be func_detail and from there you can change to the entity you want. Func_detail properties don't carry over.
Ok, I found the problem. You somehow gave the button a Health (shootable if > 0) value, which was at 1. So with a health value of 1 or higher, the button can't be used by 'use-keying' it but instead will activate if shot at. Cheat in some weapons and see for yourself. Set the health value to 0 should make the button usable again.
Would you mind posting the jmf?
Make sure the door has a speed value high than 0. If it's 0, the door won't move.
If it does have a speed value, make sure the lip value isn't the same as the speed value. Values above 0 but bellow, let's say, 5 or 6 are good values for lip. The wiki says: The lip value is the number of units left after move (the lip value is subtracted from the move distance).
If you set the Don't Move flag on the button, the button won't move.
Some unrelated thingies:
Avoid using Jed's HLMV, it's old and buggy. Use Half-Life Asset Manager by Solokiller instead.
Judging from the compile log you posted, you seem to be running HLVIS twice, and HLRAD is skipped.

Looks like people stopped playing. I'll keep the server online for another week or two. If no people play within that time frame, I'll shut the server down.
For now, updated to 1.19.2.

Well balls. It's going to cost me. I need to think about this. I really don't feel like paying even more so maybe this Let's Encrypt is the solution.

in How to remove line from right of health hud? Post #346618
The line is in 320hud2.spr and 640hud7.spr. You'll need a sprite editor to export the sprite to a bitmap image so you can edit out the line in an image editor and then you'll have to convert it back into a sprite file.
You can use Half-Life Texture Tools to import and export files.

640hud7.sprToo bad, my func_vehicles are literally all rocketsGot this one?
When you created the sprite, what sprite type did you select? It should be vp_parallel for most sprites. If you selected something else other than vp_parallel, that might be why the sprite isn't showing up in-game.
This is interesting. I should totally do some mapping again (feeling a bit rusty though), however I'm spending most of my time playing Minecraft 1.16 with friends, but I'll see if I can find time to get started on this.
Are you picking this up? Good.
Where the heck did that guy come from all of a sudden! 
Well crap.
My room is pretty much empty still, I might not make it this time.
I've started working on my entry way too late and what I wanted to make turned out way too complicated for Goldsource, even for Spirit. Also my lack of knowledge about Spirit specific features didn't help either. My motivation to continue working on it and to simplify my idea I had in mind has dropped to near zero.

in Is it possible to teleport yourself other than through trigger_teleport? Post #343632
Maybe this will help, here's an example map I put together:
http://www.themightyatom.nl/stuff/mrmistery_teleport_test.jmf (created with JACK).
You'll start in a room with 3 button_targets labeled A, B and C. Shooting these will teleport you to corresponding rooms also labeled A, B and C, like you wanted with the only difference that I have 3 rooms instead of 4. Inside each room is a trigger_teleport to send you back to the main room (the lobby), marked by the yellow-black striped texture. Back in the main room, you can continue to shoot the buttons to teleport you to the corresponding rooms.

We should do a community mapping project specifically for Gunman, like TWHL Tower, Cubicles or something completely new, except this time we'll be making it for Gunman, not Half-Life.
The Gold Edition of The Talos Principle (contains all DLC) is 87% off. Now would be time to get it.
Nox... that rings a bell, wasn't that made by Westwood Studios, the guys who made Command & Conquer, C&C Red Alert and C&C Tiberian Sun?
Anyway, Duck Game is great fun, but it's tough getting friends together to play a couple rounds. If more TWHL members own this game, we could organize a Duck Game showdown. We could even turn it into a competition where teams of two or free for all combatants battle it out in a couple of rounds. The ultimate winner could then win a free game or something.
The Talos Principle is a no-brainer (wait, it IS a brainer), it's mandatory gaming, this game.
I don't know if this is considered hidden or underrated, but if you enjoy pixel-arty retro style Mentroidvania platformers, I can totally recommend The Messenger. Holy crap, that was an experience. And the OST, my word, the OST. This game is worth it just for the OST.

Barma'thazël commands you to play The MessengerMy word, why do you care so much? Of course SoHL 1.8 has bugs but it's probably the most stable release. 1.9 may have more useful features but I'd go for stability over features. And since we're already started, upgrading to SoHL 1.9 would be too much of a hassle now anyway.
And why are you directly addressing Unq? It's Strider who organized TWHL Tower 2. Please pay attention, man.
My God, this guy.

Yet again I have no idea's for my floor and I don't want to do another "find hidden keys to open door to next floor" type of deal. Bummer.
Does 1.8 have fog or is that broken? Can anyone confirm? I miss fog.Fog does indeed seem to be broken, I just tried. It says it needs OpenGL mode even though I am running OpenGL. Maybe some kind of additional dll file is required or something?
Did I package something up wrong? I'm using the same Spirit files as Tower 1 as far as I know.No no, there's nothing wrong, I just wanted to have the Spirit mod itself so I can read up on entity guides and features as well as trying out the demo maps because I really have no experience with any of Spirit's entities en features.
Is there an official download for Spirit 1.8? I found one at Moddb but that doesn't seem 'official'.
And that Half-Life CD model could use a higher resolution texture, it's supposed to be a special collectable item, see.

Kinda wish I'd been more careful with the source files... I definitely would have patched your floor in for some kinda anniversary patch.Are you saying that you lost the source files? That kinda sucks, I'd like to have a copy of my floor with the edits you've made to it (the orange arrows).

The first TWHL Tower was pretty dang popular as there are a number of playthroughs of it on the Youtubes. See for yourself. I bet TWHL Tower 2 is going to be as popular as the first one, of not even more.

I don't know much about mapping for Source, let alone mapping for the XBox version of the game (why would you, even), but what I do know is that, at this point in time, you shouldn't be using the CST compile tools, they are way too outdated and may not even work well or at all under the Steampipe system as CST was made long before Steampipe was a thing. So I'd say stick to the stock tools.
Neato. There's even a complete rewrite and overhaul of LambdaCraft, called Project Lambda. Looks pretty good and faithful.
I'm having fun with the Little Tiles mod:

Really all you need to do is trigger the light twice every time the gun fires. This can be done with the multimanager that you're already using. Just add another keyvalue to the multimanager representing the name of the light entity and the delay in milliseconds which represents the amount of 'on' time of the light, which should be a really short delay like half a second or less.
The first three Xen maps can now be played in a beta release: Xen Technical Beta
You mighty be able to do just that using the cached.wad and gfx.wad SDK, available here.
I have never used it myself and it may not even work at all.

Graphics options are very extensive and you may need to spend some time configuring your preferred settings and whatnot.
Seems this is texture lighting, I guess it's done the way The Mad Carrot suggested?Certainly looks like it.
I think the tutorial Jessie posted is the old way of doing switchable texture lights. Nowadays, with Vluzacn's Half-Life Tools, you can get a better result when you use the light_surface entity.
Quote from VHLT version 23:
Provide a convenient way of creating texture lights.
Usage: Place a light_surface entity near the face which you want to emit light.
'Texture name' shall be the name of texture of the face.
'Filter max distance' can exclude faces whose centers are far from this light_surface.
'Texture brightness' is the brightness value that the face obtains. 80 is enough to ensure brightness of the texture itself.
'Inner angle' and 'Outer angle' are 90 and 'Adjust emit scale' is 1.0 for normal texture lights by default. Smaller angle and larget scale can be used to simulate spotlight.
'Fast' is useful when the face is large and brightness is low. The result of fast lighting is very similar to bounce lighting.
The light_surface can be triggered and have appearance like other light entities. Actually its classname will be changed to 'light' or 'light_spot' according to your choice.
Note: If you want to set any of these value to 0, fill in 0.0 instead. Otherwise Hammer will ignore the keyvalue.

Sounds like a problem with your map, check your compile log for error messages and report any here so we can help you further.
