stairs

im trying to make a flight of stairs which vers to the right and has a hand rail any clues. Do i sart off with a single bar up the middle or do i create several blocks at diffrent heights? or is there another way of doing this?

thanx in advance.

Im tryin the same sort of thing, i want my stairs to go straight down, the turn and go again, i cannot find any kind of props, this could be because its fot counter strike, but if your doing it for HL2 then there is a couple of railing props, i think there under C17_props.

Stairs seem to be somewhat limited :sad:

in dm_lockdown there are stairs i was thinkin that there would be a model for stairs. Otherwise we will have to make our own legit stairs usin blocks etc.

Um... I'd suggest just doing brush-based stairs. nearly all of them in the game were done this way. If you want props for it I think you will have to make them yourself.

does anyone know how to set models to not be able to be walked through?

There's also a texture to help with finding the right height for each stair...check the dev textures, I forget which it is exactly.

DO NOT post multiple problems in a single topic- start new topics for each one, or else your post may be deleted

How do I even make stairs?

With a bunch of rectangular things, heh...

Yeah I don't really understand the question. There isn't any stair builder in Hammer (although that would be nice...). You just make one brush after another just like everything else :smile:

There's some nice stairs in the dm_lockdown example vmf if you're looking for ones to the HL2-standard scale - Just use them as a template and build your own to your desired specifications. There's also a 'stair' dev texture.

Thanks

Dear God, why is this topic not answered or closed?

Red lights are optional.

Why? Given the low number of people that still actively post here, I see no need to do so, nor do I see need to revive such an old thread. :wink:

Besides, nobody marked their post as a possible answer...

If you need a set of stairs, check the Prefabs HL2 category for a prefab named "simple_stairway_steps".
