argh spore in my eyes Created 19 years ago2004-08-25 04:29:51 UTC by Habboi

well not exactly more like spore on my screeen

i am yet again continuing horror map and thought why not hav a scientist hanging off a lede then a trigger makes him fall so i did all te stuff tested it and it worked fine well i need to position the scientist a bit more cause his hanging in mid air lol

well basically i thought it looked fine untill i realised there was yellow spore crap around the scientist, and i remeber seeing that b4 sumwer but not wen the scientists are hanging on half life

so one thing how the hell do i stop that yellow crap from appearing around my character arrrrghhh :

Move the scientist in such a way that his bounding box is not stuck into a brush.

sorry i dont quite follow you

are u saying that if i move the scientist a little the yellow stuff wont appear or are u answering my other question???

I'm saying that you need to move the scientist entity and the scripted_sequence so that they do not touch any brushes. The yellow stuff appears when a visible entity (ie monster) is partially stuck into a brush.

o ok thnx thats sumthing new to me but uhh u see i want the scientist to hang on a ledge and well if his hands dont touch the ledge its not going to look realistic but i dont care as long as the yellow crap goes

If you look in HL, notice that the monsters always seem a little misaligned....scis are a few units from the wall, hands are always in mid-air, slightly, and they don't grab onto things very well . This is to prevent this yellow stuff, and in some HL maps, if you run -dev, you can notice a few areas where it still shows up.

ummm i did as u said and it worked yeah but it seems to hav made my sci appear under the ledge and slightly under the floor

this is odd as i raised him on hammer just a sec ago :

Make an invisible platform. Put the scipted sequence on it, set postion to instanttuanoeus (Or whatever). With this option set, monster will not have those yellow thingies anymore.

nstanttuanoeus i dont see it but it dont matter cause i gave up on thw whole thing and well i dont need no stupid scientist falling off ledge

Then again, this doesn't matter if people aren't running -dev. Of course, most mappers always run it -dev and will complain, but general gamers? Doubt it.
