Problem With CHANGELEVEL Created 20 years ago2003-09-26 18:42:53 UTC by _JesteR_

Yo everybody, I have problems with my map. When I start the map it goes just fine, but when I come to changelevel I'm suddenly stuck in the floor. Can anybody help me? PLEEEEEASE!!!

Can you be a little more Specific Dario??? =)

try moving the changelevel entity up a bit. im not much on changing levels though

Assuming the two maps are identical in the area of the changelevel, raise your info_landmark in the second map. Keep adjusting your landmarks until you can go back and forth without getting stuck. This way works for me, although there's probably a more precise way to do it.

Yes I could.
When I'm about to load map nr.2 I'm suddenly stuck in floor. Here's a little descripton off the trigger_changelevel:
Name change1
New Map Name: test2
Landmark Name: lm1
And the landmark:
Name:lm1

I just had a look at the Map... I am going to move it into the Problem Map section till this is sorted. Because you haven't uploaded the .rmf's I couldn't play with the transition, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the narrow area the change is taking place in. It is easiest to make the change in a corridor, so you can directly copy the elements from one map to the other.
I didn't get stuck in the floor... test2 wouldn't load at all, I had to load it seperately...

I downloaded and played it. I got stuck in the floor, as expected. But when I opened the console to noclip, i noticed a message that said "Can't find landmark lm2" Check to see that both landmarks have the same exact name. Both should be "lm1" the way you have described it above. (you might have to move your landmark back down from the ceiling if it's still up there)

hmm... ths could be related to the fact that there should be some 'dead space' between the land mark and change level

i'll try an image...also be sure to read this article:

oops.. wait i got it...

oh, i should have mentioned this: the small pink box is the landmark and the big pink box is the trigger_changelevel

and all of that could have been said in one post... but no, i'm just a big o'l spammer...

YEAH! I've fixed the problem! The level change from "test" to "test2" went very smooth, but now I have another problem. When I want to go back to "test" I get stuck in the floor (again), but this time it's diffrent. I'm kind of hoovering above the floor. WIERD DON'T YOU THINK!

Oh, by the way I'll post the .rmf file...

Downloaded the new zip, but it won't unzip. Says it's an invalid zip file. How did you fix the original problem? The answer may help someone reading this post later. ...And did you remember to move the info_landmark back down from the roof? Maybe you're stuck in the ceiling now when you come back from test2... :

The landmark must be in the EXACT same place in each map. The same unit. And have the changelevel ahead of the landmark, so you walk past the landmark. Trust me, it works. Did it w/ my mod. And I think the centre of the landmark is the where the bottom of the player will go.

I placed the landmarks in the same position in both maps. But now I get stuck in the mother*uckin door instead. WILL IT EVER END?!

Thanx Marlboro for the very long advice. I found out that the problem was that the triggers must have a bit of space between eachother, or else you'll just end up with loading from one level to another (if the triggers are close to eachother)

P.S.
I think Whoracle, Colony and Clayman are better

Well, you may be right about those albums... Old School IN FLAMES!!!.

Hey my doodle got screwed up...:(
