env_beam rotation Created 14 years ago2010-10-14 15:52:49 UTC by Stojke

Hello guys, ive been visiting here for some time, and have learned a lot from your web site and one of your cool members (yup thats you skals man).

But i have a question. I am making a counter strike deathrun map, and i want to make a circular vertical ring. Ive been using Skals ring shock wave effect to try and do this, but the it only creates a horizontal ring... ive tried rotating and changing train paths, but all it does is create a long cilinder.

Is there a way to create a ring? (trough which the player can jump)

Not sure, but this might help you: http://twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=1857

I already know how to make a ring... But o dont know how to make a standing ring... Like on this picture:

Ow like that... I don't think you make a ring beam to stand vertically.

You'll have to fake it by creating one beam for each face of the ring. The more faces your ring has, the more env_beams, info_target are needed.

So its like a hollow cilinder? Hmm... Ok thx. I will just have to think of something else >_<

Yeah it's easier to make a 360 degree arch.

no
you CAN make a ring beam stand vertically
its not 100% vertical though
make 2 func_trains, or info targets, or whatever.
one on the floor, and one above it.
move the top or the bottom target of the ring 1 unit forward or backward from the opposite. it'll work. trust me.

It works! Thank you!
