New system Created 19 years ago2005-01-07 19:34:11 UTC by Habboi

Ok i noticed that you cant simply trigger a button to open a door, you have to put writing in the output and input etc.

Seems hard?

not really, once you get the flow of it.

Have you managed to get it working? I attempted it and it just closed hammer everytime i did something. I tried on my own without a tutorial so i think i will try it tommorow. Thanks anway!

i was thinking. Cant you just turn on smart edit (or off?) and add a trigger value and make the value 1? would that work? thats what you could do in HL1.

No, doesnt work.

IO is easy, just practice.

Yep. It's fantastic once you get it going too.

Thanks for the tips but anthony what is the difference between targetting and using the new way of input?

You don't set inputs...

The system is just a replacement for the targetting system as it removes the need for lots of the trigger_ entities (ie trigger_relay) and multimanagers and makes scripting entities a whole load easier. You can have a single entity have 3 outputs that target 3 different entities instead of targeting a multimanager that targeted the three entities.

Plus instead of just "firing" an entity you can get it to do a particular thing.

oh, i get it. nice.

im gonna try to tinker with it now...

Thanks again and i will practice now, thanks for the handy infomation.
