Invisible Models? Created 17 years ago2006-08-21 12:49:57 UTC by TawnosPrime

I'm using the combine door lock as an explosive charge to blast open a door when a team reaches it. Until that team reaches the door, I want the model to be invisible. Which prop type should I use or do I need another entity?

Set the prop as a prop_dynamic. It's last property is "Start Disabled" This means it will be invisable until activated by A trigger. So set it to "Yes."

I thought that's what it was. Thanx for the confirm, man.

No problem.

Ok, the invisible part works, now I need a way of making it passable. After I blow open the doors, I redisable the prop_dynamic (so it's invisible again), but when I try to go through the door, I'm blocked...by the prop. How can I make it passable?

parent it to a invisible door and make the door move when you make the prop invisible

good point, that hadn't occured to me thanx

or instead of making it invisible again, trigger it to 'kill.'

Makes more sense since it's meant to have kersploded

Ohhh, another good one. Will it come back when the map is reset for the next round though?

No...If this is for CSS then things don't reset...If the map is reloaded then yes but not after a round.

Say for instance you had sounds that are triggered on map spawn. They play in the first round but stop after the rest.
