How to create a missile/rocket in VHE 3. Created 12 years ago2011-08-04 09:52:59 UTC by gian20

Hellow
I am just trying to create a map and a missile control center in valve hammer editor 3.5
How am i gonna create the missile or rocket thingy...
a missile/rocket in Half-Life is located at the "On A Rail" Chapter of Half-lIfe
type in the console: map c2a2h and then when you pressed the launch button
the missile is launched how can I create thet? ...

The missile can be made using a func_door, and the trail is made out of lots of sprites that are triggered at a correct time using a multi_manager system.

Pretty much. For brushwork on the missile itself, it's all cones and cylinders. A func_train might actually be better than a func_wall, because you'll want to teleport it into a room far out of the map proper after it's no longer visible from the control room, so it doesn't just hang in the sky after the sequence is done.

You people should've called me for help. Im known as the rocket geek on TWHL.

How do you like this:And these (sorry for the darkness):I made that for Joebama when he had trouble with HLFix.

And this:(Map vault entry)

And ultimately, it's Source Engine counterpart:That is a very old screenshot, here's a more recent one without the launchpad and tower:I know im just showing off, but if you need my help building a rocket, just ask.

ok tnx fr the advices

Wow Atom, thats awesome, too bad you had to switch to source, because of restrictions, it looks amazing in HL.

Cant wait to see it finished in Source.
