hi i am trying to get a strider into hl1 So, i Decided to make the strider replace the garg since it wasn't used in hl2, and my strider DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT SIT THERE PLAYING THE WALK ANIMATION AND SHAKE THE GROUND. I HAD LEFT EVERYTHING AS TO IT WAS BEFORE, THE CODE, THE ANIMATIONS, THE QC FILE, EVERYTHING! what did i do wrong? any help would be fine. THANKS! :biggrin:

yes i tried to make him replace the garg. but as i said, HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT SIT THERE PLAYING THE WALK ANIMATION AND SHAKE THE GROUND. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

you might end up getting it to pose for nice pictures or something, but unless you learn to code your own mod, you'll never make it act like a strider.

oh, no i don't NEED to code him in. he just replaces the garg. that's it. no added features. just a model. that's all i need to worry about. when i'm done my model, i'll move onto the sounds. BUT RIGHT NOW I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE MODEL

rofl at fishy :razz:

Anyways, are you trying to get a model of a strider into half-life? Because you can add the model into half-life with a cycler entity. You don't need to replace the garg.

Also, can you explain the situation a little bit more please.

well, if i make him the garg he won't move, and he will play the walk animation, and shake the ground everytime he steps down. but he won't move. if i don't ever get him to move then i'm putting a conveyer belt under him.

anyway, that's all he does. if you get too close to him, he will play the attack animation but no cause damage. he won't play the stomp animation. that's mostly it. oh, and, when i click on th flag "prisoner" he will do what he's sopposed to. but even when the flag prisoner is checked, he WON'T MOVE. he will just sit there playing the walk animation and shake the ground when i try to move him. he will turn but not move. WOAH! i can't believe i just wrote all that!

Awesome :biggrin:

hello???

Sorry to say, but I think fishy is right. Without digging into the code it's probably not possible to get a strider into HL1 with much success.

Ahhh, the video, can't wait to see this. I was thinking about this earlier today and it has been brought to my attention so thats good. Now i'm on dial-up so give me some time, and I'll report back.

Wow, did you model that strider yourself? I see what the problem is. Its a code problem. You need to modify the code slightly, and the gargs AI. But before you learn how to code, which you should if you wanna get serious. Try making the animations the exact same name and the exact same order as they are for the garg. So for example it gargs walk animation is 5th in the list and its called "walk" than you need to call it walk and make it 5th in the list for the strider. This might fix the problem.

However what you are doing is great and is perfectly possible in the goldsource engine. Keep me imformed about the progress. Good Luck :biggrin:

ok..... bad news for you....... really bad news..... since you told me how to solve it........ I NOT MAPPING OR MODDING ANYMORE! NOOO!!!! It used up too much space and i was so bored...... so i uninstalled everything..... and put.... i... I PUT RAVEN SHEILD IN! but.... i uninstalled raven sheild and now i have enough space again.... i still have all the models..... but i don't know if i want to re-install everything.... i'll tell you more news when i decide.

You should always make a back-up of your stuff (mapping) on a dvd if you are gonna delete them. Anyway man, there are ways to free space on a hdd without resorting to deleting stuff you wants to keep.

oh, it's ok i still have the files on my disk. the smd's the mdls ect.

i have no idea about the Half-Life mapping hammer, but i might know how to get a strider to work. Try making the path_tracks or whatever you use in the air, thats what you do for HL2...right?

oh, it's ok. aaron figured out what was wrong. it was happening to every model i created. if anyone else is having this problem, try this:

<DIV class=quote>
<DIV class=quotetitle>? quote:</DIV>
<DIV class=quotetext>Remove the LX flag from the qc file than recompile the model. Once you do that, view the model in a model viewer and go to his walk and run animations. Instead of walking on the spot, they should now be actrully be moving instead of walking on the spot, if the don't, than you need to edit the walk and run animations in milkshape or gmax or whatever you have, to actruly walk forward. This is done by moving his origin (the whole model) a little bit more forward every frame. Once you are happy with it, apply the LX flag back into the qc file and you're done.</DIV></DIV>
EDIT: sorry, you're probably confused to death right now. (hehe) it's me, thehalflifedude.
