basically a tower defense game with hl2 characters, if anyone would like to help map or help do the lua coding i could really use the help.
ive put a teleporter under the catwalks so in case someone falls they tele back up and because nodraw would interfere with the toolgun.

thats my map so far if you have any suggestions for modifications put it on there and ill look at it, if you have any other ideas for maps make them, i need to know how to make an npc spawn point and make the npcs go from point a to point b






Edit: in need of mappers dont need to make anythign special i just need to add 12 more levels to the map and and have a central spawn point.

going to be run off of gmod because i plan to have the toolgun have a tool where it spawns the towers and can upgrade them etc.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rfxd7n these are some combine towers that will be probably around level 15-25 or something
but they are automated combine towers.

So wait, you're making this with Source SDK, or..?

You wouldn't happen to know about this would you?

I would love to help, but I hate LUA with a passion. It is the most non-conformist, non-standard programming language I have ever set foot on. As a programmer, it is indeed a huge mess. It will be very difficult to find a skilled programmer who will want to take the time dealing with LUA. Mappers shouldn't be too hard to find at least.


So wait, you're making this with Source SDK, or..?

Garry's Mod has its own kind of development environment. You use Source SDK to make maps for Gmod of course, but coding is done with an external program. What you use is up to you. I would suggest Eclipse since it is free and one of the best IDEs out there.

most updated map so far with spawn and teleporter to the first level.


i plan to add the numbers of the levels floating/spinning above the level and add 9 more levels including a training area

probably not, im going to work on it bit by bit until summer and then really get into it when i have more time to do it.

i will hope to have another release with a few fully working levels.
