This is what i want

:
There is a texture in the game. When a player presses the USE key when near the texture, the health starts to recharge (thats func_healthcharge) and in the meantime :P, the player triggers a trigger_camera entity and sees through the camera while the health is bieng charged.

Tell me if it is possible and how! Bye!

have teh health charge trigger a multi_manager that triggers tegh camera, and then stops when you depress E, I haven't tried this so i don't know exactly how possible it is.

maybe wait for one of the mopre experienced HL mappers to come along.

Its actually a brush entity, as opposed to a texture. Anyways...I dont think you can trigger anything on using it, and if you had a camera change first then im not sure you could USE it.

or, have a seriosuly insane set up, of teh HEV targetting the multi, that sets up a trigger just outside teh players area, that wil trigger teh camera to turn off once teh player moves away form teh hEV, but now i'm just clutchign at straws

I dont think you can trigger a healthcharger, so i cant see any entity setup working :(. That said, I'm not exactly master of mapping!! If its possible some of the big guns will correct me.

you could have the the HEV enclosed in a trigger, and just trigger a series of hurts and camera stuff, then, turn it all off and teh player goes on his way.

trigger a series of hurts and camera stuff

I for one hadn't a clue what you meant by that.

"Stuff" isnt the most in depth description of using negative values for trigger_hurt!

But then....what with me being 'special'

I have NO idea why you said that. It REALLY isnt at all. But this is a help thread (which we have more or less ruined).

Get anything coherent out of all that gibbusoft?
