Why would it need to be information packed, parakeet? What, would you like him to f**king calculate the physics in Trigonometry? This tutorial is perfect for people trying to do this. Goodjob.

Can you tell my why I don`t have model of this tree in my root/prop_foliage folder? and why after compiling map and run it in HL I can`t see this tire? when I come closer to the rope it`s moving. seems like ghost of tire smiley I can touch it but I can`t see it.

Well, i don't know why you don't have that model in your folder. Maybe i typed it wrong or something. Check again. And the tire may have something to do with the tire model you chose, i had this problem and i just had to choose a different tire.

Can you do this with other objects such as lights?

Nice tutorial!

I'm actually writing a tutorial on how to use this with dynamic lighting. So, if you had a lamp hanging like the tire in this tutorial and is producing a dynamic light. The light would follow where the light prop points. I'll be submiting it today or tomorrow.

Great tutorial, very easy too read, and good pictures. I've give you a 8 though, since this effect isn't very hard to make.

About that dynamic lightning, isn't it just to place a dynamic_light below the model and enter the model name as parent?

Good tutorial, but how do I make it so that the tire will fall if I shoot the rope? I have a use for that with a similar application, and I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Well i have a bit of an alteration of this and cant seem to get it to work. i followed everything you said, but instead of using a props_physics model i made some brushes into the shape i wanted and made them a function_physbox_multiplayer, also instead of 1 wire i have 2. The problem im having is that when i walk up to my object and shoot it, it reacts like it would if the cables were connected however the cables appear to go from where i told it to start to the origin of the map. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

The problem may be that im using it in a counter-strike source map. Does anyone know if counter-strike source supports cables?

CS:S does support cables. Your problem may be in that you copied the cable setup so it has the same names and gets confused.

As for the tutorial, fairly informative, could use a bit more detail perhaps, but good in any case.

I've been having the same problems as deltamagnum, in hl2 i can do it just fine, but in cs:s it goes to the origin.

Good tut! works just fine for me in hl2dm. Apparently the tire swing is a deadly tool. Never knew a tire on a swing could hurt one so much. Also, the tire just swings through the tree (not only the rope, but also the tire), that's a bummer for realism.

Css does support cables, only the rope entities can't be parented to an object in css, don't know why, and could be fixed since the last time i've tried it.
