Unbreakable
just make another trigger brush at the top of the elevater so when you walk towards the elev. door it opens, simple way. another way is when you trigger the elevator to go up make a multi manager with the same target name, and have it trigger the doors after the elevater goes up, time it and put in a delay time.
Is it possible to have a camera hold until it is triggered off?
I am thinking of doing a mod similiar to The Resident Evil games.

There is now a map in the example maps vault--check it out!
this Is'nt as hard as it sounds all you do is open the skys tga files in wally, now click on the lighten/darken tool, and color the skies, to make new ones-but darker ones, now save these.
Now with the new skies created just make a loading point in your map to load another map, this time it will load the other map with the new sky
or if you'd like---The Same Sky, Only darker.
If you don't now how to use the newly created skys, just put them
in the "valve/gfx/env" file, or in "yourmods/gfx/env" file
If you put the skys in your mods folder:
You will create a map with Hammer but when compiled it will not go in, it will just crash.. But don't worry this is because the sky is not in the valves folder--just your mods.
Instead try compiling your map With the "Dont Run Map"Box Checked.
Now load up half-life with this at the end of the target field
" -game yourmodfolder +map yourmapname"
In my case it would be
"-game BJ +map map1"
Now your sky will load fine because It is looking in your mods directory
(-game yourmodfolder) and there you have it.

Can you change mp3's and other sound files into .wav files with this program Zombie?
Well If you do not have a leak then make sure you have a box around your level as a sky, and make sure you have lights in your level-no lights cause it also to go on fullbright.
Sorry I don't have the Env_beam posted let, I was running late and never had time to copy it to a floppy, or bring my laptop to school.
(I still am unable to connect at home)
but I must say I am having trouble with it, I never thought it would be so hard to make a sunbeam this way. Well it works great with tank or car headlites. anyways- It WILL be posted tomorrow.

It wouldn't be that hard to fake it, Just make an invisible button, so when the elevater moves up with the button(part of the elevator) the button will then end up sitting on top or in the invisible button- get the button to also trigger an ambient_generic, to make it sound more real. and walla---

Well, it will be in the example maps tomorrow- you gotto see it to believe it, its better to use for headlites, but it works good for sun beams... but the sun beam I create starts out strong (where the light enters the room) and then fades out as it gets closer to the ground
but it looks good. so you don't actually see the sunbeam hitting the floor
but I'm sure you can easily fix it.

Where do I get the HLMC?
No no use an env_beam, which remindes me-- I'll post an example map tomorrow showing a great beam effect using the env_beam
Hey I was wondering..,
Why is it not possible to rotate a sky (tieing the skybox to a "func_rot"),
The closest thing I can do to make a sky look real is add
some sprites for clouds--??????

Click on the Start Menu, and Find, Find Files/Folders. Search For
"yourmapname.bsp"
If your map name is long, check this example:
Map Name: Unbreakable.bsp
Search Key: Unbrea~1.bsp
ok, once found make sure it is in your Half-Life, vALVE, Maps directory.
If doesnot work Try this
Another way to check this is to right click on the half-life icon and add
this to the end of the target line " +map yourmap.bsp
anyways if its not there then check your worldcraft/hammer Setup guide(found on this site in the tutorials) and make sure you have the correct folder that the compiled maps are to be placed in (described above)
If none of this happened, and your bsp files are all in the correct locations/directories, then copy and paste your map into a new map and recompile, using a short and to the point name like- map1.bsp
Anyways gotto go, times up.

lol, seventh.
Did you ever see how people used env_beams for headlights, If you want I can do an example map and show you it, Its pretty neat and looks alot realer, the env_beam even fades out the farther away from the light source, its perfect for stuff like that, here I get an example map in sometime soon..
I think Pepper did a good job with it, just one thing, I think He should have used env_beams for his light beam, But other than that, It pretty amazing and cool.
Get Worldcraft(I think Its easier to work with for newbies) If you have the original half-Life game then its in the directorys. Just pop in the CD
Go to My computer and Right click on your CD drive, and click open this will open up the directories in Half-Life instead of the game-Click on Worldcraft then Install, And Walllaa. Oh but there is one bug which is som...(well for me that is)anyways, sometimes when you get all the configuration setup correctly and it loads the new map it will freeze up, dont worry though, this can easily be fixed, this is caused because of your Hardware Accellerator, it works to hard on something so easily to load that it jams and freezes up, to fix this you Click the Start Menu, Settings, control Panel.
A window will appear, Click on the settings Icon, And under one of the Tabs You'll see Graphic options Click this and Change the setting from the highest point (-full Accelleration)to the lowest. Anyway yep try worldcraft to get used of the controls and options.

Oh and you should also use the new light.rad file, or edit it yourself, it is very straight forward, Just open the lights.rad file (in your worldcraft directory) you'll know what to do. Or search it on Google.
monster_generics, monster_furniture, and cyclers?
What are there differences?

How does that work with the sky, Say I wanted to create a lake,do you just take the "skynameup.tga" and make it into a texture?
Thanks guys--- Oh and 7thMonkey, I know where you add the -full command, Im not a newbie, just a beginner. lol. Anyways yep thanks.
Just Do a search(find files or folders) "mapname.bsp"
What is it?
I don't think its possible... anybody else?
Ya okay, Im at school right now but I'll email it to you tomorrow, thanks alot, yer a great help. I'll put my subject as something commin, Probably just MikesIcon. Just so you know its me.(I usually delete people I don't know, I I thought you would to.) Ok well thanks again.
Here try it yourself-
1. Right click on desktop
5. Now you have created your icon, one last step, Open the shortcut(completed in step 1 and 2) and click change icon, and there you go,
...now, my problem,
try rebooting your computer, you will now notice that your custom icon has taken itself off of your Shortcut, Oh and thanks for the install programs they work great. What I need Is for them to stay like when you left it before rebooting..

-Shortcut-([Target] -game ____)for your icon, once done..5. Now you have created your icon, one last step, Open the shortcut(completed in step 1 and 2) and click change icon, and there you go,

Icon Image
Well To do this you will need alot of multimanagers
You can have the button, then the trigger on the button, and then an invisible func_walltoggle over the trigger, So when you hit one button(trigger) It triggers the func_walltoggle of so you can press the other button, and, errrrr well take it from there its way to complex for me, and mind boggling, although it can be done, I just don't have the time to explain it.

Yes I know how its done. And I get it done, but when i reboot the icon is gone.
Ok I made a custom Icon For my Mod "Blind Justice"
And It worked fine, and looked good, so I kept it. And shut my computer down but then When I re-booted it my custom Icon was gone.
where'd it go? does anybody know?
Oh and is there a way I can create an Install shield that will install my mod into the half-life folder and put the icon on the desktop. This would be good so that people could click on the Icon on the desktop, and see the starting Movies. (If they were to loaded half-life up and chose to "create game" they'd miss the beginning. so yep.)

Hellllloooooo, I hate this, everytime I post something to an old forum, It always becomes ignored. I need help^^
What you need to do is get a func_render to make the func_breakable dissapear and another to make the Func_door to appear, once done then when you go to trigger the func_render, say you walk up to the door and press use to open it, it will trigger a multi_manager that will trigger the door to open, then 10 seconds after(ex.) make the multi-manager trigger the two Func_render, (which will make the Func_door dissapear and the Func_breakable appear, Then make the multimanager also trigger the func_breakable to explode(say 12 sec. after the multimanager was first triggered), And thats that. easy as pie.
Can't you just explain how you did it Seventh? Because thats very interesting, I've tried to do that a million times. Its probably something simple that Im missing. errr. So please-how the hellll...

yes, I agree with zombie, Why would you want a room, as big as 4064x""
its kinda stupid, your computer would probably freeze up.

I don't think your going to be able to fix this problem, because you already compiled the error, your map will always have many errors now,
I think what you should do Is copy your map,(without the skybox) and paste it in a new map, then compile and run it. It will work, after its compiled, then try putting your skybox around the level...
Oh and for those looking to use the SvenCoop skys, they can be found in the Svencoop/gfx/env folder. Just make a knew folder in the valve/gfx directory, (env). Anyways you guys probably already know that, But its for the newbs.
