Can someone tell me if this is possible plz

spawn script_object "targetname" "myspawnedclip"
$myspawnedclip.origin = ( 577 -1727 240.13 )
$myspawnedclip setsize ( -245 -295 -0 ) ( 400 325 800 )
$myspawnedclip solid
$myspawnedclip nodamage

Im not too bothered about the no damage or the solid bit but i want to it to be visible ... & I dont know what line to add next

By visible I mean any colour will do but the darker the better

Afaik, you can just spawn models, no brushes.
Read this thread about spawning crates which might help

Well, you can spawn a "func_beam", but I don't know about the color.

you can spawn a clip as a script_object

Code: Select all

	local.clipdoorc = spawn script_object                   //secret door side
	local.clipdoorc.origin = ( -415 -1834 20 ) // corrdinates 
	local.clipdoorc setsize ( -15 -1 -15 ) ( 15 1 15 ) // (xyz)(xyz) from origin point
	local.clipdoorc solid
	local.clipdoorc targetname closetdoor

Found this over at the TMT forum. The guy was having "angles" problems with it, so I don't know if it works.

Code: Select all

laser1:
 local.ent = spawn func_beam origin ( 2291 1654 -1663.88 ) endpoint ( 2291 1314.44 -1375 ) targetname laser
 local.ent color ( 0 0 1 ) // the numbers are for red, green, & blue
 local.ent scale 60
 local.ent setsize ( -20 -900 -1 ) ( 20 0 1 )
 local.ent numsegments 1
 local.ent.status = on
 local.ent doactivate 
end

It should draw a beam of blue between the origin and endpoint coordinates.

You could use my showbox script . If you make the box it creates with beams 1 unit bigger than your clip it will show you where it is . You can get it at my site just click on my sig . You can't use a beam no matter what the scale appear exactly where you want because it always faces the player . It is actually flat if you can view it from the top you would see that . It will always rotate to face you and from other players perspective it will be facing them . The scale determines how wide the beam is and the start and endpoints determine how long it is but it is flat and has no thickness as you walk around it it rotates to always face you .
