path_corner... Created 19 years ago2004-05-23 18:57:24 UTC by Griffin

ok i made (tryed atleast) an elevator..now there are no doors but i made a little control panel on the inside that is supposed to make the elevator go up and down....its a func_button and i assigned it to the path_corner for the elevator. But when i go in game and click on it nothing hapens so what am i doing wrong

Don't assign it to a path_corner. Buttons can't move along path_corners. You can't let buttons travel along with elevators. You can fake it, yes, but that can be quite complex too.

Search the VERC for articles about 'elevator'. There were some nice ones available over there.

You should target the elevator, not the '_corner. Read the tutorial.

It wouldn't be that hard to fake it, Just make an invisible button, so when the elevater moves up with the button(part of the elevator) the button will then end up sitting on top or in the invisible button- get the button to also trigger an ambient_generic, to make it sound more real. and walla---

I don't know why I bother writing tutorials sometimes...
No one reads them.

dude i read yours like 5 times...you kinda left off part right after the pics, went from 2 entities then saying u should have 7 now and that confused me but before that it was good

Sure they do. Trust me, I have, and lots of silent people do, non-posters. They're great resources. I read them all before I registered: I only came onto the forums because of my noobish problems (too many light styles on face).

The only people who read tutorials are other people who write them, and people you never hear of - people who go on to map for the industry and produce games like Quake IV

There you are. You helped make Quake IV. Hey, I helped make Q4! I deserve a drink...
