Sonic map Created 17 years ago2007-10-13 10:04:17 UTC by Spike

Well, the other day doing experiments with entities I found one very interesting, the func_friction. And I think about new style map, sonic style maps. I mean, like a Kz but in races, with trigger_pushes and loopings and that stuff. So I made a half-pipe and turn all it to fricction 0, and a trigger_push behind that. Then I compile the map and try it.

trigger_push push me with a lot of speed, the floor is at 0 fricction. But when I arrive to the half-pipe, it just go trought the half pipe wall, it dont go up, just if the half-pipe solid was no solid :S Any ideas to fix it?

Hm. Try changing the friction to 1 and if that doesn't help - post the map in the problem vault.

Not a bad map concept btw. :>

Maybe have trigger_push's that push you up the half pipe?

Well... that is really strange. But I've somehow never used this particular entity in my life, and I'm unsure as to whether it behaves like most other brush based entities or not. Perhaps it doesn't like angled surfaces, or you should only tie one brush at a time to it, or it has a specific incompatibility with trigger_pushes. I know some entities don't work together too smoothly, especially if they effect movement.

Like Biax said, could you try simply using multiple trigger_pushes with varying angles along the curve instead of any func_friction at all?

Well, I've been doing some more experiments with this map but now, I dont know wth happens with my CS: I can't create new game! (don't know how to tell in english). I can't create a new LAN game in any map, the maps just load to "Preaching Resources" and then it shows me the main menu . So I can't try my maps. I've reinstalled the game and still can't create LAN game.
