three questions for advanced mappers

[Karshaddii]

I'll be concise = )

 

1. How do you disable the flashing on models? (so the model does not blink, light-up ect.)

 

2. How do I make it rain in only a certain part of my map, and how do I make a trigger that will make it stop raining?

 

3. What is the trigger that will spawn entities/ammo/npc's when you enter it?

 

Much appreciated.

1) I didn't know models flashed. If you just mean little flashing parts of models, you would need to edit the model's shaders to stop them from blinking.

 

2) It will only rain in the parts of your map where the Outside brushes are... don't put outside brushes and there will be no rain.

 

3) trigger_once! SP only of course.

I have a Question about trigger_once thing. Do you just make a brush the player will walk through and make it a trigger once. Then select the npc's you want it to spawn and hit ctrl+k to link them?

OK, thanks.

 

But I guess I was not specific enough.

 

Where are the shaders for the models located?

 

 

And about the rain: What do you mean "outside brushes" --how would the program determine what brushes are "outside?"

 

 

And yes, models do flash. Take a look at the podbod.md3 file ingame--that is just ostentatious.

shaders/models.shader in the base directory is a good place to look.

There is an actual texture you set on the brush that sets it as "outside". It's a lot like creating water in the game. Try textures/system/outside.
