Impressive! Haven't tried anything of this yet, but I didn't even know about HL2's func_tank capabilities and this looks like a very in-depth explaination.

Most helpful..most accurate...kudos on posting example map. My only problem is that the gun points in the opposite direction I look in when I fire. That is, if I look left, gun goes right. If I look up, gun goes down.

Poisonic - i'm not sure about multiplayer as i don't bother with HL:DM when mapping although I don't see why not.
sir_frags - strange problem you have there. Maybe something to do with your mouse axis settings ingame like "invert mouse".

Did everyone find the example map useful?

I found the example map before I read the tutorial, but both are great. I made a slick big ol' gun with sound, muzzleflash and ejection. I made a part of it 'recoil' (when you fire, a func_tracktrain parented to the other parts of the gun jerks back, simulating gun recoil) but it crashes HL2. Wish I could figure it out - I'd drop it in my next map smiley

Exactly as it is in the x/y view - east=right, west=left, north=up and south=down.

Its a good tutorial but Im afraid that Im stuck at the "info_sized_player triger_multipel" Im going to find out in another tutorial but note that you should tell us more details on that in the update...

No, you're confused. Assuming you already have an info_player_start, you create a trigger_multiple brush that the info_player_start entity can fit inside. You get a trigger_multiple of the exact size of the player.
