Func_friction multiplayer error, makeshi Created 14 years ago2010-01-14 14:43:36 UTC by zeeba-G

When I place a func_friction in my map and play it deathmatch after leaving the area of the func_friction the friction stays the same everywhere in the map. So after stepping on my ice and it becoming slippery, the entire map becomes slippery.

I've come up with a solution that works by placing a hollow brush all the way around the func_friction brush and making it a func_friction set to 100 but is there any other way to fix it? If not this could be useful to someone...

No, AFAIK there's no other way, you need to reset it manually by placing func_friction around it which resets to your default friction.

Also, if I remember correctly: when you die and respawn in a multiplayer game the friction will not reset by itself, so if you die inside the func_friction you will still have the new friction when you respawn, therefore you should also place func_friction under the spawn points which sets friction to the default value.

no it will reset on respawn..

just go play the bikinibottom map..

i have a func_friction and a trigger_gravity in it,

they both reset at respawn

Ah, sorry you're right, it does reset.

Read it on a forum long ago, stupid of my never to check its validity.

But if it makes the entire map slippery, wouldn't people who aren't on the ice start slipping while you're there?

hey..
