@G_KID: I've included an RMF.

@lucky4444: It's rather simple. Make your light beam directly under the door, then func_door both of them, set render properties on the beam to 'Additive', experiment with FXamt, give them the same name, and trigger them however you'd like.

Set the passable flag on the light beam if you want it to be walked through.

Use the fade texture---ok here

This will only work on the normal up and down door not a door rotating-- heres what you do

1. Make your door.. A big door that opens straight up works great.
2. Make the light beam.. Accomplished by using the fade texture
Make a block the same size of the door then clip it in half making a triangle (align the textures)
3. Now that you've got your door, move the light beam directly under the door and tie it to another function door with the same properties exept for the render mode:"addictive" and Render Effect: "128"
Now what looks really cool is put a trigger in the lightbeam so when you walk into the light beam it will trigger a light (thats placed where you just came from) keep in mind that the next room you are walking into is well lit...

Well walla there you go.

Posted 19 years ago2004-09-18 15:49:01 UTC Post #60485
Probably a firewall setting or a download program blocker (I used to know people who had them on for some reason :( )

A couple weeks ago I made an amazing sun beam that actually projected from the sun (using the fade texture) I used normal brushes tied to a func_wall, and some env_sprites tied to a env_render to turn off and on- so when you turned the corner theres a really bright sun, then when you walked under it the renders would make it dissapear, and viseversa. It worked very well. Anyways

Thats something you guys should try.

I also got all the shadows aligned with the sun so that if your standing in a shadow you can't see the bright sun, It took alot of compiling (2-3times) but it was worth it.

Ya thats the thing--I did back up the files before it crashed plus its for my mod involving camera work, with some custom textures---As soon As I get a new computer I'll fix her up and post it.
