Im stuck Created 20 years ago2004-01-15 00:24:46 UTC by =SoB=Bullet

Im trying to go through the tutorial's hosted by this site when i come to this point where im trying to make a cube. I get the cube fine, do the hollow part, but then it says to create an Entity. i do this then it says to select the entity to be "info_player_start" but when i go to the object drop down I have nothing there. do i need to DL something or am i just being a complete MORON? Please help. thanks

Ok i figured it out with help form JAX. I just didnt configure hammer corectly.

yup a common mistake, hope to see ur maps sometime

don't get in the habit of hollowing everything....matter of fact, don't hollow nuttin!

i agree dont hollow, usualy high r_speeds and iligal brushes

this is true, hollowing causes very high r-speeds.
In order to have stuff in the drop down menu you have to dl this file called cs-experts.fgd, it puts into that menu all the options for what a entity can be, and what you can make solids into.

Sky boxes are stupid thay always wind up in the wrong place anyway :

"in the wrong place"? How can a skybox ever be in the wrong place?

Well, cause you cant place a proper a info_player_start, or im misunderstanding you concept of "skybox"

ok here's the deal my view of a "skybox" a hollow box to wich you apply the "sky" texture that way getting a environment. And no the info_player_start was just right, just abbove the ground so you wouldn't get stuck in it. even though i fell

damn hippie gay crap is it that you cant EVER in the whole wide world touch the skybox, and if u do u will get sucked in to a wall and end up outside ?

You don't get sucking into a skybox H4mst0r (nice name). skyboxes are like water. You can actually swim in them only the other exures around you dissapear and the sky will fade in and out depending on where you move.
