Actually i am using the big box to get rid of leaks since as you may already know i copied the map from Opposing forces and deleted many many things . As for the trigger there are none , as soon as they kill the houndeyes they are supposed to move to the next room to kill the other monsters

its the soldiers sold1 and sold2 that need to kill the houndeyes and then proceed to kill the slave and grunt

No i tried to make them walk to a specific point in order to engage against monsters in another room just to make the player hear the sounds but they don't move until i see them . I tried also to trigger them to move through scripted sequence same thing

hi
i want to know how to force npc's to do anything even when i am not in front of them or seeing them. If i am in room A and i put an npc in room b that's triggered to do any action why do the npc need to see you in order to move ?

ps: i am working on the old half life engine here

anyway thank you

YESSS you are one mf genius it does work ! so what's the problem

i don't know how to run a map like that do you write the name of the map and then start

No that's not the issue i tried to save the map in gearbox/maps because i was saving it in a separate folder but nothing changed

If i want to play the game no problem , but when i try and run the map through JACK it doesn't load half life at all . As i said for Worldcraft valve it does lunch Half life but i am stuck at an endless loading screen

Hi i am a beginner at half life modeling and Jack , so i tried to compile a map however Jack won't start half life at all . Notice even under Worldcraft half life launches but it get stuck at loading screen so what's the problem

Thank you
