level change_ stuck in air (in game!!) Created 17 years ago2006-07-29 19:59:02 UTC by GreenBean

I have done many level changes i know that the LM has to be in the same spot and that you need two T_CHLEVEL, but when my i run my map and it go's to change level, I get placed in the map ok.... not stuck in any brush ........ however, I'am frozen in the air and i can see my whole map ok no..... chopppy black void. just cant move my player.
I made a completely enclosed boxs...... nothing elsa is in the map just a 6 sided brush box enclosing the Info_player_start to be placed in so i'am not outside in the (void) of the game .
I lost on that is going on with the map.

after a changelevel, the player does not start from an info_player start.

Also, post in the correct category. Nobody knows if this is for Source or HL now

Ok thanks what category should I put this in?

Should I remove the info_player_start from the levels
I just need one at the start of the game?

I removed the Info_player start and I'am still stuck in the air?

Don't remove the player start. This way when you load the map(not reach it by playing) through console you'll start from the player start and not the map origin, which sometimes can be in the void.

Ok, what kind of level change are you trying to do? One-way should still have trigger_levelchange in both levels.

A one way level change, and I have a triger level change in it.

I tried the last posted reply But still same problem. :"[

Please dont double post. If you are the last person who posted, and you need to post again, there is an edit button. it is next to your name above your avatar, but only when you are the last person to post.

Ok I will , Do you have any thing i can try to fixs this problem with my map?

look here and follow instructions to the word: http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=62

place a level change trigger at the beginning of the 2nd map... I dont have experience with then yet... but I know you need that one so that the map change trigger from map # 1 knows to put the player there in map # 2. Fidgit with the options untill you have it to your liking. Also put an info_player_start in so if you choose to load the map via console, you end up there.

Edit: lol, penguin, we posted at the same time

I went back and looked at all that i had in the level with what was in the tutorial and it's still putting the the player in the air and I can't move, just frozen, does: MAP PROPERTIES:( NEW LEVEL UNIT) have any thing to do with the problem? It's on ( yes clear clear previous level) I loaded the game with the console and it's showing an error that it could not open. loading game from C:siarrahalf-lifevaluesavemap1
ERROR couldn't load: but the map still loads.
Do i need to move my map file to the map directory of half-life to fix the problem? I STILL NEED HELP AND I'AM STILL UP RIGHT: TIME 12:28AM. FORT HOOD TX , SO SEND YOUR REPLIES PLEASE ?? **********************************************************************************************************

You MUST place the second map start in the exact location as the end of the first map or the player will be loaded in that spot evenif a map doesn't exist there.

The whole idea of this exact location of both landmarks thingy is that the area in the new level must be at list in the same size of the last area in the last level where the player was transported from. The landmark culculates the distence between it and the player then places the player in the same distence from the landmark in the other level, regardless if there is a brush in there.

So place the landmark at the same distence from the walls like the other.
Example: Landmark(level 1)- 8 units from the floor, 120 from the ceiling, 32 from the walls.
The other landmark mustn't be any closer to the brushes around it then the other is. The landmark's cordinates in hammer doesn't mean a thing.

Hope this explains the placement of landmarks a bit.

By the way: don't say you were stuck in the air, this way I thought you were just floating in the middle of your map. In the void/wall means you are outside your map.

Yes It does I fit the problem last night,I placed the new map in the same place as the old on the grid of value hammer and it worked fine
