teleporter

(gamboo) #1

Hi im using eb’s after beginner tutorial.

Steps I took

  1. Made a brush textured with common/trigger
  2. Tried making it into a trigger_teleport

Problem :angry:

I have problems making it into a trigger_teleport. When I try doing it through the entity window the whole map goes like i was using rivatuna in et and if i save the map then my whole map just vanishes for the next time I open it.

If i do it by right clicking on the grid then the shape of the brush turns into a tiny cube and changes poition in the map.

I know there is something wrong because when i checked on eb’s .map file it shows hes trigger_teleport as a large transparent box

Im using GTKRadiant 1.4.0 and ive tried repairing it through the installation file. :disgust:

Thanks for all help

  1. make a brush with trigger texture, make a trigger_multiple out of it.
  2. make a new “target_teleporter”
  3. make a “misc_teleporter_dest”
  4. connect triger_multiple->target_teleporter->misc_teleporter_dest

so it workes in my map fine.

(im using 1.5, but i hope it’s the same procedure…)

EDIT: Never try to make a new class in entity window or u will rename worldspawn!!! I don’t know how to repair a map with this error, i did it with “undo” when it happened to me :slight_smile:

You need updated entities file to make teleporter.

It is possible if you make it an entity first, eg. a func_group. Only renaming the classname for worldspawn is not allowed.

Yeah, Radiant probably doesn’t recodnise the entity, you need to get Erik’s updated .def files. See the link TF posted.

i just got gtk radiant 1.5.0 and that seemed to have all those new entities in there already and I have had no problems :smiley:

ok then im thinking of changing to version 1.5.0
is there any disadvantages to this?

and i only need to update by beta2 right and no beta1?

1.5.0 lacks bobtoolz and some other plugins, combined with the fact that it uses changed keys.

But it should be good to work with once you’re used to the workflow.
