.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

CSG works great for me, but I use it sparingly. I only use it to carve doorways, etc...simple shapes. Once in a while it's ok to make say a 10 sided brush, and poke it thru a wall for a bomb hole...then I mess with the edges to roughen it up. I never let the carving brush touch anything but the ...

Just wanted to add...does your terrain 'end' the world? If you have no skybox under it, I think making the 'floor' (terrain) detail might cause a leak....? I'm still learning myself, but think about it )

Costa, feel free to send me your map via email, and I'll check it out, let you know what might be ailing you )

I do SP maps, and always name them "test_mapname" <no quotes> and all the normal in-game sounds are fine...

OH, and the box you put in first shows you in Mohrad where to put the basement, since the missing triangles aren't apparent in the editor!!! If you forget this, you might be bummin'! LOL

I'm no expert, but if the terrain is already there, you need to make a 'hole' in it to make the basement. That means you have to edit the 'facet flags'.

What I do is find out where the basement ('foundation') of the bldg. should go, and make a box about that size that passes thru the LOD terrain ...

Works great, BD - thanks!! I guess I was confusing the engine with my BS, lol...hopefully other people will use the info, too...this forum rock!

Argh! There's plenty of room for the truck, BD...I'm getting "LD ERROR: (entnum 11, radnum-1, targetname) - reducing mindist from 128 to 0 to match leash...Leash mush be greater than mindist or AI will want to both run away and stay put" in the console...so looks like I need to alter the leash on ...

Hey, BD - it worked great and makes sense!! The last prob I'm having is that the guys stay in the truck after it stops...tried putting path_nodes around it, but they're not responding (they WILL shoot at you, tho). I think I might need to assign the guys variables, and then tell them to move to a ...

Thanks, BD, I'll start there...would the line go in the prespawn, or in the actual thread I'm calling? This crap's a little confusing, lol! I usually can figure out what to do by playing around - but ya gotta know where to start! Off to check the vehicle_thinker script...

Does anyone have a link to a tutorial for making enemy AI ride a truck with a driver, then jump off at the end like in M1LC3 (the lighthouse)? I got an opel truck driving off a trigger, just need some bad guys to come out of the truck! Thanks, I'm a scripting noob...didn't see anything in the tuts ...
