Texture and Spotlight Created 18 years ago2005-12-23 13:25:17 UTC by Parker89

I have 2 problems at the moment. The first is and main problem is;
How do you create a wall so you cant run trough the wall, its invisible but you can shoot trough it, like throwing grenades through it?

I have a spotlight, with 2 lamps. I want to do so if u push a button the lamp works, and if u shoot the lamp so it break. the spotlight turns off.

That's wut i want to know for the moment.

For the first issue, use a clip brush. Clip brushes are impassible to the player, but weapons can be dropped through them, and shots fired through them. (Add ZHLT.wad to your textures to have "CLIP" available)

The second problem: have a func breakable (your lamp) and set its "kill target" (or maybe its called "entity activated on trigger" I dont remember) to your light entity. This means when the func_breakable is targetted, the light entity is removed.

you need a clip brush. search for 'clip' in texture browse.

have the button target the light, and name it. for the breakable light, have an invisible block around the light, and have it func_breakable. When its shot, have it trigger the light, and have it killtarget the switch.

I got it, use the func_breakable with its "Target on break" set to your light entity.

damn... you beat me to it!!

I'm workin my way to getting the "forum award." I don't have anything shiny in my profile

bribe seventh!!!

EDIT: sorry, getting / going off topic!!

well, i got another problem now.. :/ im building cs maps... I tried to use the "clip" brush... I just made a box with the clip texture and used it and tryed to save the map but failed because of it... Doing it right or..? >.<

Is clip being exposed to the void? if so, you will get an error. In case you dont know, the void is the black area surrounding the map. The void, in no way can be accessable or visible to the player.

Dunno wut i did but it works...

But the spotlight thingy, Cant find the "kill target"... Wut to do??

That property is pretty much only available on the trigger_relay entity. Use that to remove the switch for the light, not to remove the light itself. Just trigger the light to turn it off... killing it might do something nasty.

get the breakable to target a trigger_relay, then have that killtarget target the button

Killing entities it is out of the question in a game where entities should reset every round...

He didn't say that he's still mapping for the original question, though, just that he's now doing CS maps with clip brushes.
