Armour Spawning and other questions...

[Skillz]

Few questions here for ya

1: Is there anyway to spawn armour like in fy maps? I have the entitys for all the weapons apart from armour and ic ant find it in the list...

2: Also is there a work around for the weapons dissapearing after a few seconds bug?

3: How would i make something to push a character in the air like if they jumped on a fan and it started blowing them upwards?

4: Is hurt triggered like it was back in 1.6?

5: Can you use props from other maps (like dust) by selecting them in the prop_static item viewer? and does that go for all the props in there? Becuase i'v added a prop from the dust folder and it shows up but i'v added one from the prodigy folder but it doesnt show up, any reason why or is it just me?

I think thats all i need to know for now :cheese:

Any replies are appreciated, cheers

1) It's item_kevlar and item_assaultsuit, I think.

2) This was removed some time ago.

3) Tie a brush to trigger_push. Valid activators inside the trigger will be pushed.

4) Trigger_hurt still exists, but there's also point_hurt.

5) You might be using a physics or dynamic model on a static entity, which causes the prop to be deleted.

Cheers for the answers mate, very helpful but i had a few problems...

I just tried the trigger_push does it doesnt seem to be working...

All it doesnt is make the screen jitter about a little bit, is there a specific texture i must use for it to work as i have just set it with the invisable textre if that matters?

Also how could i check to see if a prop is using physics or is dynamic?

Cheers again mate

Try upping the push speed. 512 or so. The texture you use on trigger_* and some func_* brushes doesn't matter, but toolstrigger is common only to make the brush distinguishable in the editor.

You'll get an error in your compile log or the in-game console log if you're using a model with the wrong type of prop. Other than that I don't think Valve's implemented a way for us to tell what type of model it is, other than the fact that some physics models have the suffix "_physics" on their names.

Got the trigger_push working good now

But the prop still didnt show up when i changed it to prop_dynamic or prop_physics

The funny thing is tho when i changed it to prop_physics i couldnt see the pallet but i could walk through it and if i shot at the location where it was it shows the broken palet on the floor, weird...

Thanks for all the help

Maybe the prop's fade distances were messed up when you accidentally tinkered with the spheres.

Start Fade Dist -1
End Fade Dist 0
Fade Scale 1

Thats didnt work, i'll have another go tomorow coz i'm tired now and i'll probley be doing it wrong lol

Cheers mate,

Or maybe you'll need to use the override option

 

[Raeven0]

A good point... Maybe he's using a model that wasn't made to work with any of the normal props.

 

[Skillz]

prop_dynamic_override worked, cheers guys

But just one more question, how would i add more ammo to the guns? At the moment all the guns only have a gun with 1 clip which soon gets used on an fy map...

Thanks,
Skillz

 

[Raeven0]

Not possible.

 

[Skillz]

Isnt there like a give trigger to give them a load of ammo to everyplayer? No work around at all?

One more question for good measures , what texture would i use to make a platform for guns to rest on (so they dont fall through wholes/vents) but players can still go through?

I think i got everything i need after that, cheers

2) This was removed some time ago.

Uhm, the bug has been fixed?!

you can have any texture you like, it doesn't matter.

Trigger to give ammo: unless you spawn the players in a buyzone and force them (via point_clientcommand) to buy ammo, you just can't give out any ammo.

Blocking guns: try a func_clip_vphysics entity.

Disappearing gun bug: this was fixed... oh, let me check my IRC logs... Well, I said something about it in late March, so it must've been fixed before then. It wasn't mentioned in the Steam update news.

 

[Dead-Inside]

I see, that must have been why I missed it. Well that means I can make an fy_ map with real fy capabilities. Yay.

(I'm still waiting for summer to take up modelling and start mapping again ).

Thats what put me off remakeing FY maps

Thanks for all the help guys but i have a few more questions now that my map is nearly complete i'v started notcing things...

When i compile i alwasy get this error:

Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 48
Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 3

It doesnt says its an error but a memory leak isnt a good thing lol. Just wanted to know if i should be concerned or not?

I also get this error in the console in game:

DataTable warning: player: Out-of-range value (1300.000000) in SendPropFloat 'm_vecBaseVelocity', clamping.
DataTable warning: player: Out-of-range value (1700.000000) in SendPropFloat 'm_vecBaseVelocity', clamping.
DataTable warning: player: Out-of-range value (1700.000000) in SendPropFloat 'm_vecBaseVelocity', clamping.

This happenes when i go on the trigger_push. The trigger works how i want it to so i'm not sure what it means...

Also doesnt anyone know where i can get a vent prop from? I'm using props_junk/vent001.mdl at the moment but its too small and the player cant fit through...

I think thats all or the problems i'm having atm

Cheers,
