trigger_buildable
« on: July 06, 2007, 10:17:06 pm »
Okay, I've got an elevator(func_train with two corners), and a trigger buildable.

I have a trigger buildable brush in a boxed off corner of the room, and the elevator roughly in the center.

Two problems:

One: My elevator doesn't show up.

Two: Inside the room with the trigger buildable, every wall looks like it's caulked or nodraw.

Solution?: Do I just have to point my trigger (trigger buildable) brush to a trigger (trugget multiple) brush which then points to my elevator?

trigger_buildable > trigger_multiple > func_train


EDIT: Bah, I'm working in GTKRadiant and whenever I make a brush a trigger_ it dissapears.

I've been away from mapping too long, it seems as though I've forgoten the basics.

Does the func_train have it's target key set to the same value as the targetname key of the path_corner that it should start at?

That's embarassing...

It does now.

Time for a 5 minute recompile to test...

EDIT:

Okay, my elevator shows up. Thainks

However:

The trigger is a worldspawn. It's a worldspawn because whenever I select it and make it a trigger_buildable it dissapears.

ctrl+shift+t toggles triggers on and off in radiant.
I’m busy. I’ll ignore you later.

Am I right in thinking that brushes disappear when you select the brush you want to be a trigger then right-click -> trigger -> trigger_buildable in the 2D window?

Funny questions for someone constantly giving out 'mapping help'.
You fail.

Correct, Survivor fixed my problem.

Oh, Larva Crap, one problem that I've run into due to my shit memory ( =\ ) does not mean that I am unable to help those with the knowledge I do retain.

Then again, you wouldn't know what help is, would you?


@Survivor - Thanks, I feel like an idiot.


---------------------------
EDIT: Okay, I fixed it, it works now.

When the elevator is triggered once, it won't stop, regardless if there's a reactor or repeater in the proper spot or not..
