rotating door

Hey guys. I like the new site, it is very nice. Wait, all my tutorials are gone...NOOOOOOOO. Lol just kidding

But anyways, i am working on my map, and i want a trap door with a few properties

1. opens up only, and closes flush with the floor.

2. you have to use the e button to open it (the use button)

3. it wont open from the other side, you can only use it if you are on top of it.

 

I know it is probably simple, but i have not messed with world craft in a few months and i forgot a lot of stuff

any ideas?

-Thanks, Spazz

func_door_rotating grouped together with a thin origin brush, the origin defines the "hinge" it spins round so to speak.

set it in flags to target only & make a func_button target the name of the func_door_rotating.

oh you want answers too? shoot , why didn't you say so?

personally it would take more time for me to type up the answer, than it would you to go get one..

if you cannot find one here, come on back and we'll sort it out easy enuff

Wow, that was fast. My main problem was fixed by making my origin brush longer, as you suggested. I didnt need to use the button however i just checked a few flags"

Revers Dir, One way, X Axis, and Use only

It works fine, thanks

 

-Also, new question, i forgot how to make a window that you can see and shoot through. Like i said, my tutorials are gone..

ack, too fast agian. Orph, you posted while i was typing!

Lets go moderators...up with the noobie tutorials...8P

/pokes lep, then runs and hides

Make your window a func_breakable, then in the propreties, give it a render mode of TEXTURE and a value of 96. (this is just personal preference)  A higher number makes it more see thru.  Then, put in a strength value of about 20 (for about 3 shots to break the window) and a material type of GLASS. 

Whell that works...

ps, like my new avitar?

If you want to be able to see a window, but shoot through it rather than destroy it by shooting, then you should not use a func_breakable.

Instead, just use a func_illusionary with Render Mode "Texture" and FX Amount "150", just like Wild Card's suggestion (determine the actual number you want by playing around with it).

but if its a big window that players can fit throught then put a clip brush in front of the glass

judging by all the blue in this thread, it shows that multiple answers are possible, but it also seems that there was multiple questions too

is this productive? or just an avoidance of the search proceedure..

also, my suggestion was also correct, but apparently unacceptable.. no credit for 1/2 an answer i guess

You didn't make yours an answer, it's just a regular post. You gotta say "this is a suggested answer" from the drop box. Once an answer is accepted, no more people can post answers. However, if there's a few suggested answers, they can all be deemed correct.

Also, I dunno if this is just some weird QuArK thing, but higher numbers have always been less see-through for me.

lets clarify clarity/seethru

depending on the render mode, using higher of lower numbers provide more clear, or more opaque..

with glass, 255 is clear, with water 1 is clear..

and sorry CCS, i keep forgetting to use the dropdown option

my bad..

don't misquote it buttmuncher, it loses its meaning

read that sentence in its entirety

I still do get it...

Ja, it should be an "or". Anyway, I can confirm that it is the opposite. If I want a completely opaque (actually translucent since light still would go through it, but that's another discussion entirely) pane of glass I use 255 and if I want it completely transparent I use 0. I find 60-70 to be a good number most of the time.

i concede the typo. or was my intended word

but as i said, depending on the render mode and the texture used you will need to use different numbers to achieve the same level of clarity.. in my experience 255 is clear for glass as a func_wall (the numbers are 1-255, using zero is not an option i am aware of) and 1 is clear for water as a func_water..

best advice, just experiment with the numbers till you receive the desired results, cause all our advice is moot otherwise..

sings Orph made a typo, Orph made a typo :razz:

Do ya see... A simple noobie question bring out SO much dispute :razz:  

Anyways, sorry for the multiple correct answers, but they all are correct in their own.

Also, i will use this as an example. As orph pointed out, i will not post multiple questions in the same topic.  I should have started a new post.

-Thanks again everyone....Spazz
