func_static

[JavaGuy]

I have a map with a Jawa sandcrawler, and there's a button inside that opens the front gate. I made the gate a func_static and wrote a little ICARUS script to make it rotate down when the button is pressed. After it opens the gate is like a ramp leading from the ground up to the big front chamber of the sandcrawler.

 

All of this works fine except for one thing. Once its open, if I crouch while standing on top of the ramp, I get stuck permanently. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Sam

Do you have a little invisible wall that you forgot to texture?

No, nothing like that.

 

I've developed a work-around, for anyone who runs into the same problem. I created a func_usable, covered completely in caulk, that encompasses where the gate is supposed to be when it's lowered. It's off when the map starts and is then activated by the script. When the gate is down, Kyle can walk up the invisible func_usable, and it looks like he's walking on the gate. He can now crouch on it without a problem.

I had the same problem but I made a func_wall out of physics_clip that would be turned on when the ramp is down.
