Mappers Help spot!

[NIKO]

This is a spot for mappers to help each other out. my current problem is i want to make a Falling cage when a box that holds it is shot and broken, so how Do i make bLoCKes that i have made fall, and be solid so players cant go threw them.

maybe prop_physics_multiplayer or prop_physics_override

and make sure you change mass scale to something like 0.5 to 1 so they don't just jump through it.

try this and let me know if I was right.

i got it, func_physbox

When compiling are you having problems with long compile time or are you using area portals correctly?

I know 1 of my maps took forever to compile and so I just compiled the bsp and manually compiled with command prompt was a little more easing on my mind.

I decided to shrink the map down quite a bit and I admit sucks but when finished will get a few players to test out.

When is yours ready to test?
I say mine will be ready in a few days "want to make a few custom signs and stuff before I do final compile.

oh and have to add some lighting and vending machines and other stuff.

I'm just asking one thing. How do you get the file for a map so you can edit it on SDK.

[Falcon04]

You have to get the vmf file. If it's someone else's map, you just have to ask I guess.

actually theres a progam to decompile other maps, just dont use it to make the 400th lila map, use it to know how things are done. if you do just wanna remake , it would be best to ask the mapper, as vemex, i think that what its called usually decompiles with a few errors so its never perfect. so yeah, look for vmex.

Did you change anything in the Hammer configurations to make it go anywhere else?

Also, try not to bump "old" threads, the admins get a little angry...
