One - Way Walls: Is it Possible? Created 16 years ago2008-10-02 02:59:42 UTC by HLGenius

Basically, how do you make a one way wall? If it involves "complex" entity setups I am happy to learn.

... omg just check for a tutorial or a example map

Like a wall you can go through from A to B, but can't from B to A?

Fairly simple. Tie the visible part of your wall to func_illusionary and have another brush of the same size placed at the same spot. Tie that brush to func_wall_toggle, set its render mode to Solid, FX Ammount to 0 (making it invisible) and select its "Start Invisible" flag.

Then create a trigger_once right behind the wall, which triggers your func_wall_toggle. That way, once the player passes the illusionary part of the wall, he'll trigger the wall_toggle, which will become solid and enclose that gap.

If ur looking for a wall you can see trough from one side but cant from the other, check out this tutorial:

If no then check out what daubster says... if you do not want to do that aswell then i dont know.

You could just have a thin trigger_push with a high push speed.

That'd be weird when you walk through it.
It'd shop you in, you know. Like a small leap or whatever..

You could just have a thin trigger_push with a high push speed.

That wouldn't be realistic because when you're close or touching the wall , you'll be pushed by a misterious force .

I've often tried to make one way walls. That's always been the best I could do without either spirit or complex entities (I usually don't have time to make anything better)

Thanks. Now i will try it and see if it works.

EDIT: I got the effect, im satisfied, it was very close to what i want.
Scenario:
There is an escalator going up when i reach the end/top i cant go back to that same elevator. Then there is another player that wants to go up. So the player went up and did the same thing. But when he is still going up i cant even go through the other way opposite to the escalator.

Like:

P1 -> Escalator ->
Escalator |<- P1 (cannot pass through)
P2 > Escalator |< P1
Escalator | <-(P1,P2) (both cannot pass)
(P1,P2) -> Escalator ->

...
is that what you want but cant get, or is that just what youre making?

O yeah i forgot...What i want is everything is visible. So i want to achieve the same effect with out the use of func_wall_toggle. Everything is supposed to be visible; not invisible.

You should be able to do what you want with a func_wall_toggle.

Tie the visible part of your wall to func_illusionary

You have to have two brushes in the same place. One is a func_illusionary (it is the wall that is visible, but can be walked through).

have another brush of the same size placed at the same spot. Tie that brush to func_wall_toggle, set its render mode to Solid, FX Ammount to 0 (making it invisible) and select its "Start Invisible" flag.

The other is a func_wall_toggle, which, as quoted, is invisible. That way, when the wall_toggle is triggered, it prevents you going back through the wall, but you cannot see it. You can only see the func_illusionary.

That help?

Yeah it now helped. I just didn't understand it well.
