Doors and windows

[Thadius Dean]

how do you make them in hammer?

 

[Nostradamus]

uhm.... how?

do you mean the function of opening the door or just making the "hole?"

..If the first you vil need to assign the door brush an entity(func_door or sumthing like that) and just play with it...

if it's the hole, uhm you can either carve it by making the wall where the hole is to be and place a brush, the size of the door/window) and rightclick and choose carve..carve however sux IMO, so i would just make 3 brushes(4 if you're making a window), 2 for the wall besides the hole and then 1 over it....and one onder if youre going for the window thing...

hope this helps....anyone feel free to correct me, since im a bit rusty

yes, well, can you teach me what a brush is, and how to use it? forgive me for being a noob, but we all have to learn sometime.

lol havn't heard that in a while tbh I can;t even remember the trigger texture pivot for a door LOL shocking. I been mapping for about 2 years. I know its that green guy. A bit like the AAA textures etc... u proberly have no clue what I am talking about at all. But when u do it u will understand. I always loved that green guy

 

[Nostradamus]

a "brush" is just the box or whatever you want to call it....the thing with the texture

 

[Thadius Dean]

yea, it doesnt make sense why the call it a brush to me. mabye an object?

 

[Hudson]

its called a brush. just the same way a chair is called a chair. you dont ask. you accept. if you'd like the learn how to map read tutorials.

 

[Thadius Dean]

i do accept, im not planning to sue anyone here ok? just stating my 2 cents.

 

[Nostradamus]

hehe

just think of it all asboxes, that can be uhm carved and shaped in all infinity... or something

 

[King Buzzo]

carving is baaaad.

 

[Dux]

We know Carvings bad. Its the 1st line in the Worldcraft Bible.

 

[narby]

Carving isn't bad.

People using carve incorrectly is bad.

^ my god he's right

they aren't called objects, because otherwise it would confuse the programming community (OO).... hope that helps
