Using Sprites..(hanging vines)

[Darth_Drexx]

I found some vine sprites in the assets0.pk3 and i want to use them in the new map i'm working on but I'm not sure just how to do it. I want them to hang down off the walls. Anyone have any ideas about how i go about doing this? thanx..

Place a brush where you want the vines to be and texture it with system/nodraw. Then, select one surface, the one you want the vines to appear on, and texture it with the vine shader. That should do it. In the game, the vines will appear exactly where you see then in the editor, on that plane of the brush.

 

If you don't want the player to be able to pass through the vines, use nodraw_solid instead.

Cool thanx man, I'll try that... umm, I know this is a stupid question but how do you select just 1 side of a brush?

To select just one side of a brush, hold control+shift and click the side in the 3D view.
