Problems with itchii's rope bridge tute

[utra]

hi a lot of you will have done this tutoril so im asking for some help , when i make ropes on the bridge they dont link to the bridge they just all jump in to the middle of the map ??? i have followed the tute word for work and i cant fix this prob can anyone help me please

In CS:S, in order to bind objects that are reset upon newround (physics objects) with objects that aren't (ropes), you need to use a logic_measure_movement entity instead of parenting.

how would i do that? it there a tuteoriel or somthing

 

[Raeven0]

The documentation within the entity properties dialogue box is nice.

That tutorial is swell. (delete the spaces between .-hl2 and hl2-world.

or theres an .fdg that i have (thanks to Raeven0) that fixes the problem and you can follow his tutorial that way too. I'll try and find the link again...but I'm not sure if I can.

 

[Raeven0]

FGDs don't have the power to fix bugs in the game's coding. If they did, I can guarantee that I would never have to give another lecture on CS:S's Magic Bullets That Curve Around Walls.

Oh, yeah. Click that link, utra. I had completely forgotten that the magic bullets thread contained an explanation of logic_measure_movement.

oh yea..oops...i did use the tut from hl2 world...hehe..ignore my post above.

im thank full for all the help but after doing that tute that kirschtorte gave me my hammer wount run any maps at all i get this error

Screenie

also on that tute that kirschtorte gave me i dident get this part

Placing the entities

A. Place the func_physbox wherever you'd like it to be hanging from.

B. Place the move_rope wherever you'd like your rope to start from.

C. Place the keyframe_rope just inside the object you're hanging.

D. Place the phys_lengthconstraint in the same place as the keyframe_rope.

Select and drag the small white circle to the move_rope's position.

i cant see any small circle

E. Place the env_spark in the same place as well.

F. Place the logic_measure_movement off to the side for easy access in the editor.

now this is realy odd all i wanted was to make a simple rope bridge

[Obligatory remark.]

It's HL2World. You can't expect quality.

ive followed all of your instructions and so far all i have is a broken hammer tool can you tell me how to fix the problem please

 

[Raeven0]

It looks like your map is broken, not Hammer. You did something wrong, causing a variable that does not exist to be referenced (or something along those lines), causing a memory error.

all i did was follow the guide than install that plugin that u game me, then i ran the map and it dosent work, its not just the map because i ran another map i made earler whitch was a test on water whitch worked perfectly i cant run css maps but i can run hl2 maps?

 

[Raeven0]

...

Logically, if one map crashes and one "works perfectly," there must be a problem with the first map.

I didn't provide any plugins.

 

[utra]

the FGD i called it a plugin because im exauseted

 

[Firkat54]

ok..I had this problem with the tutorial too. Re-do the map under a different filename (save the one you have now as backup). Start the tutorial again and READ EVERY WORD DOWN TO THE LAST PIXEL. When I did this tut I missed the same thing every time. So read carefully, because this tutorial was Not edited before being released. If all else fails, go to interlopers.net

 

[Raeven0]

Or, y'know, read the logic_measure_movement documentation that's in Hammer. Unless you lack third-grade English skills...
