Is there a way to make a jump pad in Enemy Territory? I have found a couple of links, but none of them help me. One says trigger_push and target it at target_position. I’m using the 1.4 version.

You need the target_push entity:
/*QUAKED target_push (.5 .5 .5) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) BOUNCEPAD
-------- KEYS --------
"speed" defaults to 1000
-------- SPAWNFLAGS --------
BOUNCEPAD play bounce noise instead of windfly
-------- NOTES --------
Pushes the activator in the direction.of angle, or towards a target apex.

Here’s a sample map:

i use this method to push players:
create an info_notnull:
targetname = “to_here”
create a target_push:
targetname = “from_here”
target = “to_here”
speed = 1000
create a trigger_multiple:
target = “from_here”
Place the trigger_multiple over the jumppad so that players can touch it.
The direction a player will be pushed is given by the path “from_here” “to_here”.

i found out that is gets tricky if you want to push a player in a perfectly horizontal direction.
After positioning a target_push and an info_notnull on the exact same height (Z-coordinate in Radiant),
and setting them up as described earlier, along with a trigger_multiple,
i noticed the whole mechanism did not function at all… … … … 
:? :arrow: :? :arrow: :? :idea: 
In-game it is like the “jumppad” was non-existent. The trigger_multiple did not even stop me from passing through…
As to my knowledge, the apex of the trajectory of the pushed player, (the highest point in the curved path the player will follow when getting pushed), is marked with the info_notnull.
In other words, the info_notnull marks the point, at which the player will start falling downwards… (by gravity)
A clever friend of mine pointed me to the fact, that it should probably has to do with the sine/cosine function results at certain angles…
This makes sense to me… (result==0)
Anyway… for anybody’s information:
do not position the info_notnull and target_push at the same Z-coordinate in Radiant.
Place the info_notnull higher (or lower) than the target_push in Your map…
EDIT
I did a search, and found out that Flippy has allready made the point…

Don’t even remember we writing that 
But, while youre not able to push a player horizontal by using an info_notnull, it MIGHT be possible by setting the “angles” (or angle dont know) key in the target_push entity to a perfect horizontal push. I haven’t tried this.
But anyway, just place your info_notnull 1 unit higher than the target_push and you won’t notice the difference
