can anyone help me with my map?? i want to put a elavator and a telaport thing...like in the jump maps...so can anyone help me?? ???
-
How many levels in the elevators? How advanced do you want the elevator?
For teleporters, make a misc_teleporter and a misc_teleporter_dest. Set the targetname of misc_teleporter_dest to something (i.e. "teleporter1"), and set the target of misc_teleporter to that something (i.e. "teleporter1").

how do u make a elavator to were when u are on the ground floor step in and it gose up u get out and it goes back down....and if u want to go back down u push a small butten and the elavator comes up u step in and is goes down....? would that be too hard to do?
-
func_plat will do the first part of you ask. Targeting it might make it go back up, but I'm not sure.
-
what am i targeting and what too???
-
what am i targeting and what too???
This might help you out a bit. Its my first map. Be ye warned, it sucks. But it uses teleports, LOTS of teleports.

how do u create sighns....like works....do u have to build them...???
-
Signs? What kind, or rather, what do you mean?
-
Maybe you should get the basics down before jumping all over teleporters and elevators.

if u have an area for a jail spot....how do u set a jail...so when u get killed u go to jail.....???
-
"jail" "1"
Thats set for the info_player_deathmatch entity.
-
is that all i do...is jet jail into the info_player_deathmatch entity??? i have an area for a jail...but how do i get people to go there when they are killed...im not that good at mapping sometimes...so could u step by step it for me...plz???
-
The info_player_deathmatch entities is where people spawn from, so if you make a separate part of the map with new brushes and add a new info_player_deathmatch, and add a key name it "jail" and set it's value to "1" then place the info_player_deathmatch in the new brushes, a tuh-duh you have a jail.
-
It not working >:( ....I get esely confused and i hate when people think they are all that and tell people off...so can u just step by step it please... ??? also..if anyone wants to see what im doing here is a copy of my map....
-
It's not working because you have 'gamemode' set to 1. That's DM. There aren't any jails in DM, only in gametypes where players are eliminated.
Other things:
Don't capitalize your map names. It screws up our linux friends (and servers)
I don't know why you have so many light entities floating around, but know that most light should come from a brush with a light texture. Things look much better that way.
Don't put any info_player_starts on your map. Players should spawn at info_player_deathmatches.
Starting everyone out with autocockers may be fun, but it doesn't make for very interesting gameplay. I'd suggest you start them out with something lower.

how do u change the maxclients in your map and the elim time???
-
how do u change the maxclients in your map and the elim time???
You can't. You can, however, recommend the maximum and minimum number of players.
-
By 'you can't', sk89q means that they're server-side settings. That's another matter entirely.
But, as he said, you can make recommendations by creating a mapinfo file along with your map, when it's released.
-
how do u create a sign texture???....i tryed using wally that i found but i cant get it right....i want to turn a pic firle (jpg, gif...etc...) and i dont know how...can some one do if for me if i give them the pic???? please
-
You don't even need a WAL file to make a texture- you really only have to copy another one and rename it. It won't look right in BSP, but in-game it'll use the JPG instead, and look fine.
Just make sure your texture is a power of 2. :3
-
im all good wiith computers and files...but that just confusde me...2.:3???? how do i use it in my map???
-
but that just confusde me...2.:3?
In powers of two. The ":3" is a face.
-
Yeah, it's an emoticon... I knew it was going to happen, I should have told him to ignore it last night when I saw it...
-
i found out what my problem was...i didnt put a pic (jpf) file in my textuer folder under Paintball2\pball\textures\pball folder...lol... ;D
-
how do u put a sound on your map....like i have a door and is a secret door...i want the "secret.wav" to play when the door is open...how do i do that ???
-
Target_speaker. Read the help file on the entity, and don't be afraid to browse through the entity list and just check out random ents.
-
i have tried that already...didn't work....???
-
Yes it does. Read the documentation and look online for some tutorials. It works, you're just doing it wrong.
-
Can someone play my map and tell me what they think....theres supost to be a secret area...if so try to find if.....the map should be in a zip file with the additional textures files with it...
-
i am trying to attach 2 rooms. and i did the subtract thing but it didnt work. could someone tell me step by step how to do this?
-
Make sure that you delete the selected brushes after subtracting.
-

Your map has a leak. Try the leak check and follow the yellow line to the hole in your map.

-
I think you should add a player spawn (info_player_deathmatch) ;)
Try to do this, step by step.
