Swingers!

[Homercidal]

I'd like to figure out how to make a platform "swing" in the air on a rope. Pendulum style.

I would like to make a platform that is kind of hard to jump to. if I had the platform swinging just a little bit, it might throw the person's timing off just enough to make them fall.

Possibilities?

Definately. Half-Life 2 has weird rope object things that are tethered to two objects, so I'd assume you'd be able to make a weight swing. Although it'd eventually slow down. Unless you used HL1's func_pendulum, but they aren't very realistic.

I'm not necessarily looking for realism. The object will have to move back and forth indef.

I'm more concerned with HL1 at this point as I'm not sure HL2 will have a standard DM game for some time.

I've got a portion of the level designed now and will need to do much more layout before actually building the map. Can anyone point me to a good place for editing information? It's been a while since I did any HL editing.

TIA
