Random number generation... random random map generation.

when you make a brush an entity, select it, push N, type in the key dialog: $targetname and in the value dialog: whatevernameyouwant

I like this idea.


and I wasnt around- I left after I made that post.

i forgot to add one thing- when you "hide" the buildings, also make them "notsolid" so it would be:

$buildinga_1 hide
$buildinga_1 notsolid

and when it must be shown-

$buildinga_1 show
$buildinga_1 solid
[/code]

Thanks. As usual you're more than helpful, Alchoholic. Thanks for your insight too nuggets. I was working on a quick map this morning just to try and learn how to do the code and get it to work... see what hang-ups might be run into. Now I have Mohradiant problems. It crashed when I tried to load up the general_industrial texture set. Not too big a problem, but when I loaded it up again everything I had made was the blue default texture... my backup too. I don't want to deal with it right now, but I plan to do it in the next few days and upload it so we can see how it works. I'm just going to make a small round-based map with team spawns on opposite sides of a small map with three sections, each with three alternate building sets. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yeah my editor locks up too when I load general_industrial or general_structure.

Well, with my work schedule, etc up until I leave in two weeks, it doesn't look like I'll be finishing any sort of demo map of this. If anyone ever tries it, let me know. I'd really like to see if it works well.
