Business_Eskimo Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to areaportal an object such as a func_usable... I am familiar with the process of making an areaportal for a func_door but this is beyond my intelligence. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Business_Eskimo Posted May 11, 2003 Author Share Posted May 11, 2003 Oh, if it makes any difference, this will be for MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Master Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 From what I read on a rtcw tutorial, area portals are for func_door only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassev Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Alas, yes. In SP you can areaportal also func_statics (works), possibly even func_usables (haven't tried), with scripting, but in the more restricted MP environment, I seriously doubt it.

War Master Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Are you sure about the func_statics? I've tried it before and it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sure, because I have done it, and it was shown effective with "r_showtris 1" I had to do it, because my battles with hint brushes in that particular situation didn't prove 100% succesful. But to cut the crap, you have to include in your script that moves the elevator (or what ever) the command set_adjustareaportals("true"). Well, I also added set_adjustareaportals("false") in the end, when the elevator was back in its starting position blocking the shaft, but that was only my precaution, and I don't know if its obligatory. If you use areaportals with func_statics without this command, you'll get the ever-so-popular HOM. Try it out. It's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
