omfg dam level transitions Created 16 years ago2008-01-27 09:06:56 UTC by mchappy

I have looked everywhere for how to make a level change i have used something like 5 tutorials but nothing works the loading screen just stays up all the time and then it dont hl2 crashes. please help!

i used a info_landmark, Trigger_changelevel and yes i have a map that it can change to lol

in the level that it is changing to there is a trigger_change level with the last chapter checkbox checked and an into landmark and one info_player_start do i need anything else

Well as far as I know the next map has to be in the exact place where the player triggers the changelevel. This was for HL1 and I'm sure HL2 is the same.

Try that.

I've also heard that trying to work level transitions when running the game through Hammer can cause problems. Have you tried loading the map by manually starting the game instead of letting Hammer launch it after it's compiled?

This was for HL1 and I'm sure HL2 is the same.

uhh... No. Read up on info_landmarks.

I see so what you are saying is HL2 has this landmark entity that fixes the stupid idea of placing the map in the same place...Thanks Valve. Well then ignore my advice.

Hunter: Please don't say 'uhh no'. Rather insulting.

@mchappy: what properties do your entities have? Do you get any error messages and if so, what do they say?

@Habboi: The Hunter is referring to the fact that HL already had an info_landmark entity.

um i can load the map in console and i have played both of them properly without problems but cannot do anything when trigger_changelevel tries to do it sometimes the the game crashes to desktop and other times it just lockes up hl2
