You could make a stage door on the floor, one that opens when a certain team reaches a certain stage, then have the door go away. That would be kinda like a floor exploding...but more like the floor just disappearing.

Try putting the button on the floor like you would a wall...it's the same thing, might trigger weird though depending on if players can walk on top of it or have to jump.

invisible method
just create a brush the size you want to activate it give it the trigger texture and make it trigger_multiple then select the brush and select the door IN THAT ORDER then press ctrl + L then when the player walks into the brush it should trigger the door

I suggest you read some tutorials about the basics of mapping, Hugo. That way, you do not have to spam these forums with obsolete questions.

I stand corrected, excuse me.

@DaylightDies: As I said before, please read some basic tutorials on mapping for Quake3/Tremulous. The mapping wiki is a good place to start your endavour. This forum is not the place for such basic questions, since they are already answered
in a multitude of places online.

Again, I apologize to poor Hugo.

You should frame that one in for your grandchildren Hugo. Lava does not hand em out easily.

Stop lying to me. Stop lying to this forum. Anyone saying he cannot find a tutorial on how to make a button open a door in Quake3 is nothing but a liar.

wow asshole much?

calling me a liar is WAY out of line.
I seriously have found no guide on placement of a button and what function to use.

If I was lieing WHY would I post here?
And Why would I be reading?

Obviously it doesnt make sense.

Though I must admit I have only read one guide on Quake3 mapping, and the tutorial #3 didnt load on it :/ so I suppose the button part might have been in there someplace...

Thank you for pointing out your lack of motivation in finding the information you require.

I suggest you try to read more than half a tutorial, and stop spamming the forums with these questions.

You didn't read even the topic of the sticky Tremulous Mapping Guide sitting right in this subforum, did you? Well it contains some info about mapping if you didn't figure that out from the title... ::)
