Prefab help! Created 16 years ago2008-03-25 10:34:35 UTC by Xzrnoth

Hello everyone, i just recently started doing mapping, im not good, nor even medicore. Still learning, and I've got the basis on what my idea is. but still working on my test map, to see what i need to improve on, Probably everything. I was reading a very good tutorial but it doesnt show how you get to the useable prefab list.

Can anyone help me please?

First up: what game are you mapping for?

A lot of people here will probably tell you that you shouldn't use prefabs and I would agree with them: they really are more of a hinderance than a help.

Sorry man, as I said I'm new. it's a HL2 map. I've rea that as well. but im just trying to get some detailed items, file cabnets, tables, etc. to give the map some more life.

Then you want models. Or Props. Make a point entity and call it a prop_static. This is the basic static proop it just sits there and does nothing. Under model, hit browse and you can search for which model you want. Hit apply, and viola! You should have a prop in your map

Alright man, I got the Static entity, Im not seeing anything about models though, Sorry guys, im a Virgin to map making in general, Sept for UO but that dont count.

Dude, I love you lol, Thank you very much man, Good little tutorial for us Idjits. im curious though, how do i get to this menu? http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=30

I've been going off this tutorial, and I dont understand this page, and cant find what hes talking about.

This tutorial is for HL1 not for HL2. I recommend you making your own prefabs and objects, you will learn more and quickly. I give you some useful keys.

If you want to align textures just select a face and press Cntl + Right click on another face. you can use Alt + Right click too, it does same thing but in a different way.

Ahh, that sucks lol i was using that to learn the basic's ahh well it helped with with brush, and hallways. So make like a bookshelf and stuff like that myself? I believe thats what your getting at. Someone told me theres downloads for like library's of furniture?
