 Re: buyzone disappears

I'm just testing out some of the map making bits to orient myself and I want to make a simple yet effective test map so I can see how the entities interact with the map and users. I make a box, hollow it out, put an info_terrorist start, a box just beneath the entity and then tie that box, usint ctrl-t to func_buyzone and compile.

When I load up the map, the box is gone and there is no buyzone. what did I do wrong there?

I've done a little searching and experimenting, but nothing so far. Did I just miss using the proper entity?

What texture did you use to make the box and the func_buyzone?

I'm just using a rock floor texture. I just picked the first thing I saw for this.
Is it right though to tie the buyzone to a brush?

To insert a buy zone, just do the following:-

Insert your info_player_terrorist / info_player_counterterrorist, create a box that covers the area you wish for the buyzone, this may also go over the info_player entities. Change the new box to have func_buyzone, select which team you want the buyzone to be for by changing it's properties.

Compile !

it doesn't matter what texture you use as it will disappear from ingame, because you have applied the func_buyzone brush entity to it. I do however recommend using something plain, maybe like nodraw texture, so that you can see what it is straight off in Hammer

I tried that first, and I couldn't join T or CT. Though the map was all hosed and this one is just plain. So I'll try it again with this one. Is it supposed to be INTEGER or just "Terrorist" /"Counter Terrorist". the type for Team says (int) but the dropdown has text in it.

Thanks much all. So far I've done that right, just probably need to get the Team selected now.

In the Team Number (int) option, select the team that the buyzone refers to.

I can upload a .zip file for you with a demo map inside if that makes it easier for ya

All good. I just had something totally hosed in that other map. Not sure what the deal was but it's all working as it should now. Thanks much for the support. I'd be happy to write up a description or upload the testmap I just made. I got skybox and buyzone.
Now for 3DSkybox.
