Need more info... What kind of func is it?

 

And that 'noise' command never works. You'll just have to have your trigger target a target_speaker that plays your noise.

the elevators a func plat and the button is a func button

i've got them so that the button makes the elevator go down and then up but it wont return up if my dudes standing on it

 

with the sounds;

whats my trigger? the button?

is that a similiar thing as making the lights target a specific spot?

cause i can do that

Yeah, I guess... Sorry, I'm used to explaining stuff to people who know Radiant a little better. My fault.

 

I've never messed with func_plats...

 

For the sound, you'd give your func_button a key 'target' and a value 'plat1' (or something)

Then, give the plat 'targetname', and a value of 'plat1'

Then, make a target_speaker (that is set to play your sound), and give it 'targetname' - 'plat1' too.

 

Hope that helps.

 

You may have learned it using the shortcut control+k, but it's good to know how to do it manually. Plus, you can't have multiple targets for the same trigger if you only use the shortcut.

 

Hope that makes some kind of sense.
