How to designate a buyzone? Created 20 years ago2004-06-12 21:59:34 UTC by BigNEO

I'm using RIPENT and notepad to edit the map. I want to add a buyzone to a certain area. I've looked at some of the tutorials, but they are not specific. I just want to know the line of code to add to designate a buyzone in a certain area ( away from the spawn sites ) that both teams can buy items. I am unfamilular with a "brush entity".

Okay, a brush entity is an entity made up of a brush, like a func_wall, or a door. Point entities on the other hand are entities created with the entity tool. I'm not familiar with RIPENT and Notepad map editing, but in Hammer and WC a buyzone is designated with a brush entity set to a func_buyzone.

If you don't know what a brush entity is, stop messing around with Notepad and use Hammer.

If it is your map, why not run it in Hammer?

If it isn't your map then you might consider not posting on these forums.

What's up with notepad mapping anyways? It seems only useful to prove your l33tness in mapping....is it any better than hammer in any way?
