Creating Cables

[archvilell]

I can't figure out how to create cables. My friend and I are making a map that will have a suspension bridge in it (Note: I'm not stealing your idea bigcheese, this bridge has no importance to the map other than a route for the CTs). The Help file tells me to:

"First, place a move_rope entity at one desired anchor point for the rope. Next, place a keyframe_rope at the second anchor point. Point the "Next Keyframe" field on the move_rope to the keyframe_rope entity. You'll now see a line representing an estimation of how the cable will lie between the two points..."

I don't know what the "Next Keyframe" field sentence means. I don't see any "Next Keyframe" anywhere. In short, I am stuck after I've made both points.

goto the properties of the move_rope entity(by selecting the entity and hitting (left)alt+enter or right click in it and hit properties) and there will be a Next Keyframe property, essentially it says where the next point for the cable to go, set it to the keyframe_rope entities name (make sure you name it first)

Okay, thanks. It works great.
