Hammer - Elevator/Lift Tutorial

[alalexandros99]

song? sounds like medievil ! :O

[3kliksphilip]

HEROES 3!

[pivotplayerXD]

Did this works for CS 1.6?

[NoneN1nordy123]

music sounds like heroes of might and magic 3 inferno town

[Technodude010]

not the elevator i looked for, i was looking for one that goes to several floors using path_corners, i know how to make one i just want to know how to make it go to a specific floor

[groxkiller585]

why does the music sound like a messed up "ode to order" from Majora's Mask?

the beggining has the SAME beat.

Nice tut btw.

[13jobinbs13]

dude...wats up with de creepy music???...lol

[XDarKMogX]

I'm missing the Move Direction, Use Opens, and Touch Opens options...

[csadens777]

the music is epic where is it from lol!

[delu5i0n]

thank you this was a 10 out of 10 vid and it was quick and to the point fuck the ppl that say it wasnt a good one cause they didnt even help anybody you did help ppl , god bless

[senter27]

:) nice still works whit tracktrain :) i suggest set the invisible to Func_brush and never solidity so ppl can walk trough it so it doesnt seem so Noobsijh :)

[Ricksdetrix]

this is an easier, but less effective way to make an elevator, still it can be usefull.

[Dummernik58]

ive seen many do it this way, but the annoying thing about it, is that it not moving smooth if something stands on it

[olSuperguy1234lo]

doors are the simple way to do it.. if you want more than one floor you need a func_tanktrack

then path_track's on each floor. set it all up then just make the output a button instead of touch

[TheCombatFetus]

this is the stupid way to do it.

[ZabuzaSOULESS]

umm if i do ctrl+t wont that crash the compiler? like it wont compile all my stuff?

[Ben31337l]

what about an elevator that services multiple floors rather then 2?

[Emodude335]

func_traintrack

[Punisteri]

Song is from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Nice tutorial btw.

[ploppy9]

What an awesome game. The inferno team :P

[juuseli]

The songa at the end? Whats it called?

[frenfam4life]

Thanks you!

[eggbuckland08]

How do I select all the parts at once It wont work ?

[Fridabeekman]

Hold CTRL and click the blocks.

[eggbuckland08]

thanks

[Glowhetic]

YAY it's working! TY so much

:D

[Glowhetic]

I love this song - Heroes 3 right? :D

[hl2dark]

It is.Inferno town theme I think.

[ZeroFish122]

i dont have alot of functions on mine, probs because i lost my book and kind of stole a cd key :S so i cant get source SDK and im using Valve Hammer... to the point tho, Can u make ur elevator spin like on the campaign?

[fabio00099]

You can too make a trigger at the spawnpoint works almost the same as button.

[WickeddArtist]

Im making a map where i need a large "wall" to move up from the start of the map, and the point is to climb and outrun the "wall". what could i use so that at the start of the round the "wall" starts to move?

[comeradealexi]

have a button that activates the wall which also activates the ladder to climb upon

[WickeddArtist]

nice idea, i never thought of that. thanks

[Jason1999mambu]

@comeradealexi I use a button to get lift up.I know how to build a button

[pitbike2006]

how do i select all of the lift i only know how to select one thing at a time

HELP

[pwntzilla]

hold ctrl when selecting

[pitbike2006]

awsome thanks i found out about 5 seconds after this as well LOL thanks anyway

pitbike2006

[matrixkbh1987]

hammer editor sux

[Bendi360]

you sux :)

[rich98521]

when i do this and start it up it goes into css then crashes and the error:

66/ - func_door: UTIL_SetModel: not precached: models/junkola.mdl

comes up

[comeradealexi]

try deleting this "junkola.mdl" what ever it is and try again

[Kikiapina]

Egh, that's not a good way to make an elevator, not at all

[AIKStuPot]

heroes of might and magic III - inferno theme! :) <3

[ksangeorzan69]

ungroup?

[gmodrules972]

grop = ctr+g ungroup = ctr+u

[awkook]

i like goldsource better. it think it's easier

[Ragnarocklava]

Thanks for a simple tutorial! Easy to understand for me :D Gonna add an Elevator to my map now, because I know how to do it!

[xdavidxshinx]

what would be a clear or invisible texture, because I tried the texture "invisible" and it's not invisible and if I leave it at a normal texture then the wall goes up with the elevator. Thanks in advance.

[CSSNerd1000]

type tools, then try to find it, it should be invisible, a pink one

[xdavidxshinx]

Would it be the half-life sign?

[halowarrior1000]

no its should be pink and say invisible

[AnSiB]

The best way to make something invisible is use a nodraw texture, browse textures and filter 'tools' and select tools/toolsnodraw.

[xdavidxshinx]

I don't use sdk tools I use the one you download off the sites, for cs 1.6, so they don't have the nodraw texture. As for the pink invisible texture if you can get me the name that was would great and if not can you tell me what .wad file I have to download in order to get it.

[mad0daz]

I would use the invisable texture.

[newtoomanga]

lol! heroes music haha=D

[GoblinRocketRacer]

Dude... You just made my day ^_^

[ksangeorzan69]

that sounds kind of gay

[GoblinRocketRacer]

Dude... You just made my day ^_^

[killer120070507]

haha nice soundtrack heroes 3 XD

[daskraut]

hey, thanks for the tutorial, that was exactly what i needed.

additional info i just found out: if you want the lift to stay where you leave it also mark "toggle" in the func_door's flags.

anyway: 5 of 5 *

[snowhead123]

Next time tell me a invisible texture because I cant find one.

[dubbleska]

type tools in the VGUI search screen

[DJn00b94]

COOL SONG in "Heroes III" is it too

:LOL:

[Faust013]

Yeah, the evil underground theme. I played that game a lot! xD

[Doomchip]

This wouldn't work correctly, Don't you have to set the origin to the top of where you want the elevator to end?

[JazzyStick]

Tried it in TF2, doesnt work...

It is because their is no "USE" command.

[GoblinRocketRacer]

Actually there is a USE button...

[JMR3productions]

does this work in TF2?

[comeradealexi]

try it :) - let me know how it goes

[liquidgordon]

I can't find any func_train entity or anything to do with a train entity in the drop down box. Help would be appreciated!

[onnet7]

Surely using func_tracktrain would be better?

[comeradealexi]

i dunno how to do that but it is an alternative xD

[onnet7]

Heh. No worries, with tracktrain, you can assign various keyframes that a brush will follow. Imagine the first Half-Life openning, that train was on a set path, mostly following tracks; but sometimes moving completely up or down.

You can use this to create multiple points for it to stop/ slow down on OR be user-controlled.

[dean05876]

Is there any way you can make the lift stop at a floor, because I used this technique you showed me and it kinda just goes straight past the middle floor. Help appriciated!

[comeradealexi]

Erm im not sure mate - think this is only a one stop thing im sure there is a way to make stops with path_track or something or func_traintrack? im not sure

[DaQueso]

there is a way to with the track funcs...but it can be complicated to set the triggers on all the buttons from each floor/map might crash if 2 buttons are pressed at once from diff floors so...you might have to make 2 floor elevator, then add a ladder or ramp somewhere nearby

[dean05876]

Cheers guys

[dean05876]

nice one mate! 5/5!

[delta246100]

box + hollow + carve small door,turn the carved box into a Func_tracktrain when you are in {tie to entity} then name it (name)

get a path_track from the entity list and name it, then set the box'es

next path the the path_track and add a button to press, use {on press} {resume} then make the button have the box as a parrent. Note you have to be serious or skilled with hammer to understand this so don't yell at me for you're lack of skill,

[mrrobville]

why? WHY? this is because for those people (include me) who don't understand ansy @%# about making a elevator!, but thanks to this video i finaly know!, GREAT work!! 5 stars!

[comeradealexi]

Glad i could help :)

[zotrel]

[comeradealexi]
