yrean Posted May 30, 2002 Posted May 30, 2002 hey everyone... im trying to make a platform raise when some one walks on it... from what i can tell you make a brush and add a func_plat to it ..by default its supposed to raise the height of the brush i think....I made 3 brushes and connected them all the the same entity.. think of a hydraluic lift... in order to get it to raise the height i wanted...anyways....what happens is when i compile the map to test this out...the whole platform is gone... its not that its not working i havent even got that far...the damn thing is gone in the map.... please someone clear this up for me...tell me how to fix...or what i did wrong...or etc......much apreciated.
UniKorn Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 A platform is designed in the top position and will always start in the game in the lowered position. So it is probably somewhere down there where you can't reach it.
yrean Posted June 1, 2002 Author Posted June 1, 2002 unikorn...that was my problem...i put the paltform at the bottom to be rasied...and when i compiled it...it went way down to the bottom into the void... lol...as soon as i raised it to its top height and recompiled it worked great...thank you.
dvader28 Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 I can get the plat where i want it, but it doesn't do anything when i stand on it! Help!
yrean Posted June 2, 2002 Author Posted June 2, 2002 this is what i did... i created a flat brush and on the bottom i used 2 polls to get the height i wanted. make sure that the platfor is as high as you want it to go... and the polls reach the botom floor.. select all brushes and right click in 2d window. make it a funct platform.. and thats it... the platform will be on bottom floor after you compile it... i guess it needs to be in the extended position for lighting purposes... _____________ | | --------------------- || || || || -- in lamens terms from the top to the bottom of the picture is how far i want it to go up... at least this is how i messured it... edit:ahh that sucks...dman thing screwed up my pretty picture!!! damn forum doesnt work half the time and works for **** when its up.
