fish

im wanting to add fish to the water on my map but i dont know how to
make them firstly and what entities do i use to make them. I sorta want
it to be like the fish in De_inferno

Make each fish a func_tracktrain, each with it's own set of path_tracks. It's that easy :smile: .

There are some sort of biting/swimming/killing creatures in "Island17".

Perhaps you should ask Mazemaster what those critters are.

They swim anyways... and as far as I can determine, they are part of HL2.

Those were leches, and the player only see them when you enter the
func_waterdeath (or something along those lines) entity brush.

Posting And You

The one in de_inferno is a new entity, func_fish_pool. It's a point entity, and you can set the radius and model for the fish.

However, I don't think it's currently in the CSS .fgd so you'll have to
work out the property values and edit them manually, or decompile
de_inferno and cut-and-paste it.

Uhh...aren't those are hud sprites that activate when you fall on a
trigger? If that's the case then only you can see em so they won't work
in this case.

i did what rof did but i am concerned that the way the entity is
comming up obsolete. will this still work? i got the map decompiler
worked a treat :biggrin: but i will try it out when my map is
finished...hopefully. The track train didnt work for me it started to
get really fiddly and after a while i gave up.

Do NOT mark answers blue, especially when you display that level of doubt. :sad:

Yes, it should work. Any entity that's not in the FGD file shows up as
"obsolete". It's just Hammer that doesn't know how to handle it.
However, the game itself knows how to use it, and it'll work fine.

ok thanks alot Rof that helps alot :biggrin: yea sry bout that Orpheus i meant to hit uncorrect answer.

If its correct, its correct, but test it first and come back and mark it blue. In this case it appears to be fine.
