func_button

([rD]MrPink) #1

I noticed it doesn’t exist, at least not in GTK. What replaced it? And how do I use whatever replaced it?

Use func_invisible_user. I do, at least.

It would be nice to have good tutorial here hun?

Lifts, and doors of all types are easy once you know the basics

To make a button:

  1. Make your object.
  2. Surround it by something that will be invisible (even though it’s not under triggers I just make it trigger so I know what it is)
  3. Set it to func_invisible_user.
  4. Set it to not_kickable as one of the spawnflags.
  5. Create your other object.
  6. Select the func_invisible_user first, then select your second object, and hit “ctrl+k” to link them.

Now that will initiate whatever action the second one does. Hope I’m not forgetting anything.

I knew that, I was just using func_button all the time.

Heres the rtcw entities.def stuff for func_button. No idea if it still works in ET or not. If you try it, let us know.
