A few questions...

[Seraphim19]

ive got a few questions on how to do stuff.

1.which way is the easiest to cut. like, which is the best way to cut a box, to connect 2 rooms with a tunnel or something.(i heard carve is bad )

2. how do u make stairs? like large stairs to have a 2 story building or something.

3 is there a static door prop so i can put it next to an opening to look like the door belongs there but it cant move.(do i have to make a brush?)



will u help me? ;(

1. carve is fine for that purpose.

2. a series of brushes [rectangular prisms stacked up next to eachother] i believe.

3. there are models that you can chuck there. the models by nature will not do anything unless you edit them to say that it should open or something, so just put a door model there. or a brush with a texture.

on number 2, the stairs, is there a model or something that i can put in?

Not a model, as far as I'm aware. There's no point. Just make a group of blocks [brushes] that act as stairs.

Crazy. If it works on your map, use it. If not, custom make it.

Carve is ok to use, but you want to make sure _only_ the object you want carved is going to be, it can be easy not to notice until its far too late that you've ever so slightly caught other brushes which isn't good.

Hollow is one you want to avoid, though I'll use it for simple tests, but proper maps I wont use it atall
