There's often confusion when it comes to time zones, so I'm just making sure, when you say 22:00 GMT, you don't mean 22:00 London time but 23:00 London time (which is GMT+1 around the summer), right?

Not all of Half-Life's source code is available, only the code for the DLLs. I doubt Valve's going to port it or release the code. Unfortunately.

char *pc = NULL; defines a pointer to data of type char, initially pointing to NULL (0 - nothing). pc = p sets pc's value to that of p - p and pc will point to the same data. *pc = p sets the data which pc is pointing at (which is of type char) to the value of p (which is a pointer to a char).

Example map now in the vault

It does not use lights or texture lights, but I can add that if you want. You might want to tweak the different timings in the trigger_multiples and in "tloopmm". Note that since the limit of the number of entries in a multi_manager is 16, so if you plan on adding more tiles you'll have to create another multi_manager like trelaysmm with the same name.

You can do in/out trigging for multiple players in regular Half-Life. I'm doing it in my spaceship map (WIP). There's a door I call the Annoying Door, it closes when a player comes near and opens when there are no players near it. It costs a bunch of entities though. If you wait a few hours I'll throw you an example map with light tiles.

Players who just entered a game sometimes spawn in the middle of a round. AFIK, the best way to trigger something at the beginning of each round is to create an invisible func_breakable covering both spawnpoints. Give the breakable 0 health and flag Touch and Pressure. Set Target on Break to the name of the entity you want to trigger.

This was supposed to be an edit, but someone had to play ninja:

In English, if Play Everywhere is checked, the sound will play everywhere. If two or three of the radius flags (but not Play Everywhere) are checked, the smallest-radius one is the only one that counts.
If i had to guess, i'd imagine a bigger radius would cancel out, or be redundant to any smaller one, and not make any change.
That's how it is.
Oskar Potatis Oskar Potatis🦔
Posted 12 years ago2011-05-18 02:48:22 UTC
in GoldSource Mapping Tips Post #294730
There are three checkboxes: Small radius, Medium radius, and Large radius. Can these be combined? Supposing I check Medium radius AND Large radius, does the sound radius cover 50% more than large radius alone?
From common/const.h:
#define ATTN_NONE 0
#define ATTN_NORM (float)0.8
#define ATTN_IDLE (float)2
#define ATTN_STATIC (float)1.25[/pre]

From dlls/sound.cpp:
	if ( FBitSet ( pev->spawnflags, AMBIENT_SOUND_EVERYWHERE) )
	{
		m_flAttenuation = ATTN_NONE;
	}
	else if ( FBitSet ( pev->spawnflags, AMBIENT_SOUND_SMALLRADIUS) )
	{
		m_flAttenuation = ATTN_IDLE;
	}
	else if ( FBitSet ( pev->spawnflags, AMBIENT_SOUND_MEDIUMRADIUS) )
	{
		m_flAttenuation = ATTN_STATIC;
	}
	else if ( FBitSet ( pev->spawnflags, AMBIENT_SOUND_LARGERADIUS) )
	{
		m_flAttenuation = ATTN_NORM;
}
That's the code which reads the flags and sets the attenuation level based on them.

Whether or not somebody else took pictures or not is massively irrelevant.
It's most relevant. When you post pictures, they're your responsibility.
By logic here, you should be pissed that somebody snaps pictures of you at a crime scene where you brutally murdered 3 guys, and so therefore it would only be right if those pictures just vanished into thin air. Should have just, not done it to begin with?
That story is totally different. There has been no crime, you have done nothing wrong, so how is it right that someone publishes pictures of you without your consent?
