How do you make a simple bush?

I want to make a simple bush that you can move, and shoot throgh, using the textures {grass1, and {grass2.

Im finding it very difficult to make simple obejects like this....must be me

A simple bush that you can move? Like a func_pushable? I don't understand your question really.

But to make a "simple bush", create 2 thin blocks (1 unit thick or so) with the {grass textures applied, and have them intersecting in the center, forming a cross in the top-down view. Then select both solids and click the "To Entity" button and select "func_illusionary" from the dropdown list. Then, set the Render Mode to "Solid" and the Render Amt to "255".

Func_illusionary makes the bush walk-throughable and shoot-throughable, and setting the Render Mode to "Solid" and such makes the blue areas of the texture turn transparent.

I think he is asking how to make a block.......... right?

A bush you can move through and walk through- personally, I'd suggest you make a + shape (from 2 blocks, top down), and turn each of the blocks into a seperate func_illusionary.

Oh, lol, man I guess I was tierd when I read that, sorry Ronin

Lol, thanks guys....that helps a lot.  I made one with out a problem.  I do have another question though...I was reading the tut for how to make trees from a distance...and i would like to add a simple tree, but where DO you get the tree textures?

HA HA HA!!!! ok...that last Question about the tree.....nevermind :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: .  I searched for the texture in my wads...FOUND IT!! HA HA...that was a good one..wipes tear from eye, puts one hand on side whew...thanks guys...

which wad is it in im going to need a few tree textures for my map

it was in....er...either Halflife, or opfor...not sure which, i just searched for tree...but the thing is its flat...not like a bush, or like a tree that you would make like a +

Its looking from the top down (the texture i mean) so you have to make several entites and make them smaller each time to make it look decent.

You might want to consider brush based trees/bushes if you have any in arenas or anything.  Alternatively you could use a model.

snarkpit folder...

show all..

xtree.zip

the best brush based plantlife i have seen online.. sadly as jinx pointed out, the text file is missing, so we never did figure out who exactly released these..

but still give them a looksee

The xtree.wad is by Xerent. I have it kicking around my HD somewhere but i'll be buggered if I can find the accompanying text file :smile: Definitely by Xerent though.

NEVER USE HL STANDARD TEXTURES OF FOLIAGE!

!STAB!

Xerent is now retired from, but was an official DoD mapper for a long time. Those trees come from Day of Defeat...if you have the mod there are quite a few different types of trees, just check out the mapmodels directory.

got a few good textures
