5: make sure the brush is big enough. Also make sure it placed correctly, for example if you place it too high you will just run under it and nothing will happen.

Uhm yeah, first make a brush, make sure it's selected, hit E, select trigger_multiple and click Make entity.
Then click the +,
key: message
value: <the message you want to say>

That's it if I remember correctly, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Key: Message
Value: Dop jump \n\n By pimp (just an example, put whatever you want it to say. \n\n makes it go to the next row)

thank you

6: gravity on my maps all of a sudden the gravity was like 0 how do i make it back to normal
Title: Re: help
Post by: Laged on July 24, 2008, 11:16:20 AM
Uhm, is it in the maps YOU make or the maps others have made? First try doing cvar_set sv_gravity 800 in your server. If the problem is in the maps you make, hit e, click + and key:"gravity" and value:"800" :P

7: You can't. To make more spawn points you go to info_player_deathmatch on the drop-down box and click 'create entity' or something

8: Make sure that your 3D camera isn't upside-down.. That can be very confusing to fix...

When I first started I watched the map making tutorials.
I suggest you do the same?

And one thread is good enough for as many questions as you need.

You click the + button on the entitiy box while worldspawn is selected and put in Key - gamemode and in value you is the corresponding number for the game type 0 is all of them for using a few different game types add the nubers together. Click the ? button while worldspawn is selected to see all the different things you can change in it.
