Func_Msgboard: Mapping Help

Posted by metlslime on 2002/12/23 18:31:29

This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

in trenchroom, I made a button and set its target for one door but it opens all doors on the map. what do?

#19393 posted by muk on 2018/01/12 03:19:42

That means all your doors probably have the same targetname.:D

#19394 posted by anonymous user on 2018/01/12 03:28:15

will I have to name all of my doors? because the other ones being triggered don't have names

nvm, that just stopped the door from opening automatically. I'm looking at all my entity links and none of them go to the irrelevant doors, only to the ones I told it to go to.

#19397 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 03:42:40

and it only happens with a button, not the trigger_multiple I have already

#19398 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 03:47:11

it also triggers doors with different names??

that didn't work, but it broke my unnamed door :L

#19401 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 04:00:54

it's weird, whenever I change any properties on my unnamed door it just totally stops working

#19402 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 04:05:15

here are my button's properties. maybe it's something to do with the button. https://i.imgur.com/lHqqReg.png

Please try and avoid the triple posting.

What do the door properties look like?

#19404 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 04:16:58

O, sorry.
and here are the doors (four doors that sink into the ground) targeted by the button https://i.imgur.com/RDWDmBn.png
keep in mind it's also triggering a pair of doors named "d2"

#19405 posted by muk on 2018/01/12 04:38:52

The two groups of doors are too close too each other.

Add "dont link" to the D2 doors as well. Remove that Wait of 0. just remove the Wait key entirely. No need for it if youre also using the Toggle flag, as far as i can tell.

#19406 posted by muk on 2018/01/12 04:40:04

oh and do "r_showbboxes 1" in the console and youll see the trigger volumes and such. This should make the problem a bit more evident.

#19407 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 05:17:18

I've tried adding "don't link" on all the doors.
I did a video just so you can see exactly what's going on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZOH1YmMnNo&feature=youtu.be
there are 3 sets of doors, the four downward-moving doors (d1); the doors above d1, which the player gets launched up through (d2); and the unnamed door which is off to the right and there's nothing special about it.

I've tried creating a new single func_door away from the others with no changed properties, and it still opened.
I've also deleted and redone the button to make sure I didn't accidentally change a property.

if it turns out to be something really simple I goofed up on plz don't laugh at me ok?? <:l

Maybe upload the .map?

Remove the blank "target" and "wait" from the d1 doors for starters.

But, beyond that...the issue isnt happening for me when I compile the .map. The button only opens d1. I didnt change anything either.

Ha Ha Hi Hi Ho Ho

#19411 posted by skizzlepuss on 2018/01/12 06:20:42

yep that did it! I didn't realize the unnecessary target and wait would do anything. mystery solved, we can all go home now

#19412 posted by muk on 2018/01/12 06:57:27

no dont go home. go map.

#19413 posted by anonymous user on 2018/01/13 02:14:44

Are there any good beginner resources around?

GTKRadiant, NetRadiant, and Trenchbroom seem to be the most popular editors, and ericw-tools seems to be the current suggested toolchain for compilation, but all the documentation and stuff I've found seems

...to assume that you know what you're doing, which I really don't.

Sorry about the halfpost, interface bugged out.

...for this site so we know who you are. :) Maybe prepare a list of specific questions you have too. We'll be happy to answer.

JACK is also a popular editor for those with Valve/GoldSrc/Worldcraft experience:

I use TB2 and can answer questions. Also Terrfusion on Discord is a good real-time resource as well.
