Hello, I need help with the env_message feature. I cannot seem to be able to get it to work when I trigger hurt.
So what I am trying to say is when someone dies I want it to trigger env_message so it can print a message for them and only them. I have tried everything and I cannot seem to get it to work. There must be something I am doing wrong.
Could someone shed some light for me? Thanks a bunch!
Regards,
TFMaps

That must be it, you wouldn't by chance have links to the latest TFC fgd's do you?
UPDATE: I think this is the latest one correct?

Thank you potatis, I have downloaded that and I still do not see a game_texts ent.

Then there isn't one. I gave you the Hammer 3.4 official TFC FGD.

Alright, thanks for the latest FGD.

that's really queer. I wonder why they would remove such an important entity.
I don't know a single person who's managed to get an env_message to work.

Hunter: to get an env_message to work, you'll need the titles.txt file and make this "code block" segments where you refer to in the entity. I got it working multiple times.
As for the game_text, support for this entity may still be available in the TFC game dll. You could try adding the game_text fgd code into the fgd file that potatis linked to a couple posts up, then go into Hammer, place a game_text entity, set up its properties and a trigger and see if the text appears ingame.
This is the fgd code for the game_text:

tfmaps do what muzz said. add that code into the fgd file and then it should work.
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-05 13:22:46 UTC
Post #258190
Well I added that above code to the fgd file and added a func_hurt and targeted it to the game_text. There must be something I am doing wrong because its not working.
Could someone take a look for me?

I can't get it to work either. Guess they (Valve) removed the entity completely. I don't understand why they did that... :/

ask muzz how he made the env_messages work. that might work.

could you have a teleport that moves the player to a room that has a message on the wall with a texture? THEN kill them?

a bit impractical

Post #258199
Very true, but if there's no game_text, then what other option is there?
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-05 19:20:46 UTC
Post #258203
env_message.

env_message is no option in a multiplayer map. It requires existing game files to be modified, which is mostly unacceptable.

Thats basic modding knowledge you spoon.

does env_message have any advantage over game_text?
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-09 11:24:39 UTC
Post #258293
It supports large amounts of text.

decompilers. potatis potatis potatis.

There is nothing wrong with decompiling a map unless you are copying/stealing something.

i dunno, they always screwed over the maps so much there wasn't much chance to steal anything if you wanted to for me. I only used them to find out how certain entity setups were made.
