Fan problem

Post by Hell_Soldier »

i tried to make a fan, and it didnt go well, so i deleted it and copied the one from the tutorial map.

on the editor i dont see anything, but its different when i play the map.

the fan i copied is just fine, and rotating. but the other textures from my old fan that i deleted are just stuck there, and dont apear in the editor

and the filter is set to "all" so i should see everything.

In the editor, create a brush that incloses the area and hit Selection > Select inside. That should select the invisible brushes so you can delete them.

Those are invisible brushes, Do what Tom said, Draw a box over that whole area even ur fan and select/ inside then just hit backspace to delete even if you don't see anything.

By the way, Im sorry but that fan looks horrid, u should be able to find a prefab fan somewhere.

You can make it work without scripting just use the rotatingdoor func.
Hey Tom why don't u give him a link to ur fan map, that helped me. :wink:

Far as I know, you can't make a fan out if a func_rotatingdoor. I know what hogleg ment to say, but Hell_Soldier Probably does not. My fan map is no longer on-line.

You can make a script_object fan rotate by adding (Key N) this key/value.

Key: rotateY
Value: 180 // degrees per second

The fan Script_object should have a common/origin textured brush in the center--just incase it is not symmetical.

Interesting

Post by tltrude »

That is interesting, but I don't see any advatage to using a func type door entity over a script_object entity. Does it do sounds or something?

Not sure if there is a advantage or not, maybe one less thing the script has to be called on.. Dunno.

I just learned to do it that way before I knew what a script was. :lol:

script_object

Post by tltrude »

A script_object fan does not need any scripting either, just those key/values--unless you want to add sound. It would need a targetname for that.

The fan in the screenshots is a script_object, but it is poorly done. It needs a central motor hub, and rounded blades, to make it look real.
