Sliding Doors

[Nekrinos]

Whenever i make a sliding door, it only moves about a foot... is there a way to control how far it goes, or could someone post a link to a video tutoral plz?

off the top of my head id say its your "lip" value...

the lip value is usually how far to leave the door from 90 degress in a swinging door. So for a sliding door i guess its the distance the door will move.

i think you move the little circular box in the 2d viewports. or maybe its the min dist value. lol its been along time since i made any maps.

if you use a func_movelinear, you can set the actual movement distance as a value.

Sigh.

A func_door moving in a certain direction only moves as far as its length in that direction. Lip is subtracted from the distance it moves. Negative Lip, therefore, is added. A 32-wide door with a Lip of -32 will move 64 units.

Func_movelinear is a nice entity, too. In some cases it's easier, but func_door supports a wider range of inputs and outputs.

Video tutorials are for the weak of mind who probably shouldn't be attempting to make maps in the first place.

eh, not really. I watched video tutorals for 3 hours and learned everthing except how to make a decent ladder and a sliding door, so dont character bach the tutes you doooooood!

everybody takes in information differently. audioably visualy etc. also mapping isnt rocket science.

My ideas about watered-down education always provoke the strangest responses.

oooooooo i have one more question... for counter srike mapping do you need to have a different version of hammer?, cause i can spawn an entity called info_player_terrorist or an area with func_buyzone, anyone no de answeeeeeerrrrrr?

 

[Limpet]

Nope, just select your game from the sdk menu and hammer will set up everything for you to map in that game.

wow, lol, i just noticed that at the bottom of the sdk! God im an idiot... whew thanks a 1.345 x 10 to the fifth powerth!
