Shifting a whole map in hammer? Created 7 years ago2017-07-12 18:36:40 UTC by Dallas

Hello,

Are there any known problems or things to look out for if you move a whole maps worth of geometry in hammer?

I need to move my whole map 512 units up in the hammer grid, but was wondering if I should be keeping an eye out for anything in particular like verts shifting off grid etc...

Some other level editors for other games it can be a bad idea.

Thanks

You should be fine. Don't move it brush by brush.

I tried doing that in ts_untergrund, months ago, resulted in a leak. Maybe I should try it again.

Cool, thanks Unq

As to why I'm doing this:

In Vanilla HL you will get a "swimming/ water splash" noise at the start of your map if the coordinates 0,0,0 are covered by a water volume. It's annoying, so I'm going to shift everything around.

Keep in mind though when doing that you will have to redo all decals you may have had before the shifting.

Which is exactly why you sort layout and gameplay first, before applying details such as decals

select all, texture lock, move. textures will look the same but the numbers will have shifted as far as you have moved the map

Hey, don't want to start a new thread for this
what exactly does yaw/pitch tolerance do in a func tank?

Thanks

It means how many degrees you can turn past the set pitch and yaw before it snaps back to that value. It affects AI turrets as well.
