Couple questions

(MindConfusion) #1

  1. I’ve inserted a mg42 into my tower and took the stands off, when I test the mg42 faces into the tower not outside. How can I turn it around?

  2. Barbed wire on my fence, how can I do this?

Before ya tell me to search the forums, I’ve already done so and have found couple things but didn’t excatly help me out.
(example: barbed wire topic I done what was said etc but it doesn’t show in map but I do get hurt.)

To 1) Select the mg and press N . Now use the degrees thing (45, 90, 180 etc.) to let you choose wich way the mg faces

Thanks for the very quick reply.

I did remember another question though.

  1. Models, when I drop a model in it only shows a little square box, how can I see the full model instead of the little box.

A tut I use explained models to me and also said use gtkradiant to see the models, and thats what I’m using but can’t see em sadly.

hit N again and delete the path until models/ so c:/programfiles/wolf/etmain/models/gameobjects/bla.md3 is gonna be models/gameobjects/bla.md3

For barbwire, you need something that looks like barbwire (either a model or an alpha texture) and a trigger_hurt surrounding it, to do the damage effect.

Does anyone have a model of barbed wire that I may use please?

There are several barbed wire textures in ET (just have a look at the “alpha” texture category). Use those on a cylinder, put 2 or 3 of them together and it will look nice.

Got my barb wire happening, trigger_hurt is in place with the following:

spawnflags 16
dmg 25
sound sound/player/hurt_barbwire.wav
classname trigger_hurt

I belive that is perfect, but now the problem is when I test the map there is no barb wire in place, when I hit the area where it should be I am damaged (25).
Am I missing something here?

(texture in use is _alpha/barb_wire)

The trigger and the actual barbwire model must be 2 different brushes, just one normal brush with the texture and a “trigger”-textured brush as a trigger-hurt entity around it.

(SCDS_reyalP) #10

also make sure your hurt trigger brush is a little bit bigger than the barbwire.
