You can see keys in edito when pressing 'N'. Look better:
speed: determines how fast the door moves (default 100).

Maybe because 450 is rather high compared to 100? Try a smaller value.

No, seems he done something wrog (apply speed not to all parts or something). Speed supports extremely high values, believe me =D

He was  trying to make it slower, and that didnt work.

Its called the mapping help center because its for questions which havent been asked before and arent in the tutorial.

Are you sure that you're entering the server at the point the map says something? If you're connecting to the server late or the map is taking a long time to load you could miss the message entirely.

Oh yea. My mac is one of one of the old ones (like it came out (4 or 5 years ago.) so It takes a while to load the test map and other maps when im playing. So yea.


Yea this mac that im using has 112 GB when you start it first time. But I have so much on it that it has 70 mb left. I pretty much use my dino pc and transfer the test map over to my mac. That how I do it....   Check out the random dev shots later. I will post the map that I am working on...  And please give me your feedback. thanks in advanced

I think that the "default 100" information in Radiant is incorrect. I mean, normally, there's no speed key, and if you give a speed key and write "100", you'll get a much slower moving door. And, funny enough, I think that "400" is actually the real default speed. So, you accidentally used nearly exactly the value that would make it move the way it moved as default. :)

Text on screen: You might somehow employ "target_print" to do what you want. Maybe your text message is compatible with that approach.
Title: Re: Simple Questions ???
Post by: CATAHA on September 12, 2010, 02:05:43 pm
As far as i can remember 100 is correct value. Dont u think 400gu in one second its a bit too rapidly? =D

It's your choice if you want to add textures to radiant. Look it up and you should be able to solve it.

How do you make brushes that you can walk through? So it looks like a solid wall, but when you go attempt to move into it you will move through it? For like vent entrances and stuff. Im assuming it is a shader type of clip used? But which one?

I think just find the commen texture thing and find it there or it might be in the entities tab (N) IM not shure though But I think I saw something like that in the entities tab.

How do I make lights that go on and off constantly. I cant find a tutorial that explains it.
Like for example lights just like what the map pulse has. Flickering lights on and off.

I believe it it something like surfaceparm nonsolid but I would advise you look it up as I am not a shader genius.

O.K I really cant get my cylinders to work. They will not show. I Googled it so I wouldn't have to bother you nice people again, but there is nothing on it. But Does anybody know how to get the cylinders to show. I add one from a brush(Simple Cube) Then I make it into a cylinder and the brush just gets deleted but im still selecting it. Help please ???...  Thanks in advance...

Yea I know that about it has a one side too it and you apply matrix to it but I isnt there for some reason.

so i want o apply two shaders to one brush. (slick and semitransparent)
do i just apply them both or do i need a special shader?
Title: Re: Simple Questions ???

You cant apply two shaders. Just make one semi-transparent shader with slick surfaceparm. =]

How to make walk through plants?
Title: Re: making walk through plants
Post by: Ingar on October 24, 2010, 01:09:44 pm
How to make walk through plants?

There are two possibilities:

1) if your plant is a misc_model:
    do NOT set spawnflag 2 (autoclip), your model will be non-solid

2) if your plant is made out of brushes:
    use a shader with surfaceparm nonsolid

Interesting example:

I made a potted plant model. The pot and the plant's trunk
can not be wallk-through (nonsolid) so, I gave the model
spawnflag 2.

I made a special shader for the leaves, because
they ARE non-solid, and the texture also uses an alpha
channel (transparency)

Code: [Select]
// plant leaf 1 with alpha channel
models/mapobjects/vega/plant/leaf1
{
        surfaceparm nomarks
        surfaceparm nonsolid
        cull none
        {
                map models/mapobjects/vega/plant/leaf1
                alphafunc GE128
                depthwrite
                rgbGen identity
        }
        {
                rgbGen identity
                map $lightmap
                depthfunc equal
                blendfunc filter
        }
}
