Hey m8's, i'm new to this site. I've been mapping for some time now, but have a few questions concerning HL 1's hammer

A) How do i choose the rotation angle of the rotating doors? I didn't quite get the last part in the tutorial, could you tell me more detailed?

B) How do i create that spawning effect that occur when xen aliens appear from the other dimention in HL ?

C) How do i create electricity, like beams and stuff?

D) How do i create hazardous enviroment conditions like electricity, fire, acid and gas?

E) How do i make rotating buttons? (that rotates in stead of disappearing.. annoying stuff)

F) How do i play an monster animation that results in the monster falling down an edge? Won't work, the monster just stops before falling.

G) How do i remove the players weapons for the next level?

H) And how do i create a 'custom' game with my own menues?

Thanks in advance

D) make a brush textured in AAATRIGGER, tie to trigger_hurt, and set damage type to your pick.

A. It is in fact trial and error until you get it right. Use the Reverse Dir(ection), One Way, X axis, Y axis flags of the func_door_rotating until you got it right.

B. Browse my maps and you'll find an example map on that subject.

C. Use the env_beam entity for that. Take a look at the HL Entity Guide to see how to set it all up.

D. Its done with a trigger_hurt entity. Create a bruch with the AAATRIGGER texture and turn into a trigger_hurt. Again, check out the HL Entity Guide for its workings.

E. Uh... not really sure about that one, check for tutorials and the HL Entity Guide.

F. -

G. Entity Weapon Strip.

H. Read our tutorials.

E. Use a func_rot_button.

E) How do i make rotating buttons? (that rotates in stead of disappearing.. annoying stuff)

If you want to stop buttons from disappearing (?), just go into flags and check "don't move".

Nice questions
