A swing, and an carousel

Hey

You have a swing and an carousel model inside halflife, but I cant seem to recreate them so they work the same way as in half-life2.

Does anyone know?

Jeese, newbies and their questions

Shifty eyes what, i was never a noobie, just what are you accusing me of here?

There is more to it than just props though Orph - if I understand the
question correctly then he has the models in the map they just don't
behave the same way as in HL2.

I suggest you read up on physics entities Corona - a phys_hinge or
something of the sort would most likely be used as a rotation axis for
either I guess.

Check out the SDK example maps on physics as well.

Yeah, what Reno suggests is good...and check out the Uses I updated on the HL2World Wiki.

Duncan, i can only suggest a small bit, cause i have not even had the chance to load the damned editor yet, but.. i was thinking that prop would be a good place to begin until someone with the answer came along.. it may have pointed him to a better place. shrugs

I think that the carousel is fairly simple, its a hinge and the prop_Physics, just like the door.

The swing i think is a prop ragdoll, with 2 ropes constrained to it and set to move, im not sure, its much more complicated than the carousel though.

Afaik, the swing is a prop_physics with two keyframe_ropes parented with it and a constraint system setup for the ropes. I've done something similar in my map with a hanging sign with a physbox, a rope system, and a constraint system affecting the ropes. I can explain it in further detail if necesary.
