little how-to on the new way to link entities

Yeah, i thought that looked a bit off... points for consistancy? anyway, fixed!

i know this tutorial isnt the most in depth, and the topic it covers is mostly self-explanatory, but i said i would write it, and there are many people who dont have HL2 yet who would like to know this info. plus, now that its done nobody else here has to do it.

The I/O is is really big improvement over the 'Target' in half-life 1

The old "Target" hasn't changed. It's still in use through Quake 3 (and it varients - Fakk, CoD, ect) and into Doom 3 as well. This tutorial was great to get me going.

Just one question if you unclick smart edit and then add a value is there any way or any thing that value can do?

Iceman:

using the multimanager is a good example of what values can do. If you add a value to the same name as a triggerable (func_button for example) then when the multimanager is activated it waits as many seconds as the value and then activates it, and if you add another value linked to the same button it will wait that many seconds to trigger it again. I'm not good with words, hope I didn't confuse you more.
