A few questions about Hl map editting.

Hi there.

I'm new in editting.

I have a few questions to ask.I want to know how to make a button,which discards your weapons when touched?

The second thing is how can I make the players in my server transparent?

I mean a player who can go through another?

Is that possible in Half Life 1?

Another question is if there is any way to make a few checkpoints in a map?

[size=10]I'm making a jump map for HL it's really cool but without checkpoint - impossible to complete the level.

1. Try making the button trigger a player_weaponstrip entity.

2. Nope, impossible. Well, unless you allow cheats on your server so players can activate the 'noclip' cheat. :razz:

3. Possible, but I think it's not possible on a per-player base. Which means, when player A reaches checkpoint 1, you can't have him respawn there and make player B respawn at the start.
Anyway, the idea is to put teleports over the player spawnplaces, and to change their destination target with trigger_changetarget entities. Once a player reaches a checkpoint trigger, a multi_manager triggers all those trigger_changetargets, so whenever a player respawns, he gets teleported to a different location immediatly.
I hope you get the idea, but if something isn't clear or if I made a mistake somewhere, feel free to ask for more. :smile:

EDIT: For 3, a trick that's sometimes used in games is to unlock easy routes after you've completed a hard route. For example, after a long route to the top of a building, you can unlock an elevator that quickly brings you to the top, should you somehow fall down or such. Just a thought. :smile:

I used to be a fan of climbmaps. Only if the server had checkpoints though.. otherwise it's just frustrating...

But to answer your question: the checkpoints for climbmaps are only but
a mod installed on the server. U'll see that almost every climbmap-server has the mod installed, so checkpoints can be used every
map. I'm not sure where to download it though.. u might wanna check out
the kreedz' website (www.kreedz.com), or just go googling :smile: </span>

<span style="color: white;">Uhm.. right, so.. click this link to download the kz_multiplugin (that's the mod u need for checkpoints).

I must be getting soft. Its not even annoying me very much that there are multiple questions.
