If some one still has an idea,
When I start the firs map,the change level to the second map works.But from the second to the third-it doesnt work.
Why?
How can I fix it?

I'm also working on a map series. My map change does work from second to third. So what I did that could work for you is to use a Trigger_changelevel. Then within its properties type the name of the map that you want to change to and enter the name of the landmark on that next level.

I did this same thing in the second level but this time I made the info_landmark be named something different. (Not sure if it matters but it works) The trigger_changelevel can be triggered or it can be walked through.

So this is what I did for my first map:
I made the trigger_changelevel be:

(When "Next" is triggered the level will change)
NAME: Next
NEW MAP NAME: RX1_SubSpace
LANDMARK NAME: lm
CHANGE TARGET: Empty Field
DELAY BEFORE CHANGE TARGET: 0

Then in the map RX1_SubSapce the info_landmark is:

NAME: lm

In the second level I made the trigger_changelevel be:

NAME: No Name
NEW MAP NAME: RX1b_SubSpace
LANDMARK NAME: lm2
CHANGE TARGET: Empty Field
DELAY BEFORE CHANGE TARGET: 0

Then in the map RX1b_SubSpace the info_landmark is:

NAME: lm2
I hope this helps.

Yeah, you cant use the same info_landmark for more than one transition, only one info_landmark per transition between two maps smiley.

It's the same in my levels.But it isn't working.The change level sone can be reached only when you are holding the "crouch" button.What if this is the problem.

You should not need to push crouch to change the level. I'm not sure what the issue is, maybe you can try to increase the size of the area that the trigger_changelevel covers. Try making it so that it covers the entire height of the hall or room.

Maybe if you can give an exact description of your level change setup with the landmarks and everything then that might help.

If it still doesn't work I'm not sure if I can help anymore but I'll still try.

The trigger_changelevel only works if you crouch.. that doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you should give us like a download link to the map files or something.

Where is your trigger located for the level change?

This is what I did:

Try to use the texture "aaa" and make a block in the hall/room/whatever and have it blocking the player from moving on. Then make that block that you just created be the trigger_changelevel. Make that have the change level settings that you want. Don't forget the landmark.

I realized that I am actually creating my levels for Sven Coop but the trigger_changelevel and the info_landmark settings should still work the same. If you want me to I will still post a Sven Coop sample map for the level change.

Just let me know. (You will need the Sven Coop game installed)

Landmark problems happened to me before, now i hate them! :

/The two level transition landmarks must have the same name and may not be moved in each of the levels.

/The geometry around the landmarks may not be modified after the second level creation, or the transifition wont work correctly.

/The trigger changelevels should all have a different name, location.

/You may not forget that the landmark MUST be placed before the trigger changelevel or it wont work correctly, dont forget that you may not move the landmark in any case.

Thats why I use copy/paste with a section of my level (including the landmark) when i wanna make map packs in HL1...

If it doesnt work, i've made some post about the subject in HL1 editing; you should take a look. smiley
