Hammer npc tutorial part1

[PivotB3stZ]

I need huge help here.

I made a half life 2 mod and did everything in C++ that I was supposed to do (I.E. Changing a file to "Release" instead of "De-bug") Anyways, I have my mod shown up on my steam list and everything and have started making a map in hammer SDK with it. However if I want to play it after compiling I always get a long error about how it failed because "FS" was already running or something. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I've done this for exactly 2 days when it comes to modding. thanks!

how do you get npcs to stay still and NOT follow the player?

[zzaarrker]

[zzaarrker]

[JosephMelia]

Thanks for this tutorial,It adds depth to my map when six metrocops rappel through the skylight. Could you Pleeease tell me how to get the npc's to climb ladders?

I will send you a clip of the finished product or not,up to you.

[ROBLOXisthebestparas]

uhh... how do you actually clip with the clip tool? i know how to select the line i want to cut but how do i cut it?

[ROBLOXisthebestparas]

ok i learned that but i cant select multiply like you! it only deletes one of those goddam bricks! D:

[HUMANCONDlTION]

Random question: How do I mage a barrel fall over? I don't know how to manipulate objects in the world during a scripted event.

For example; I want a combine soldier to walk over to a barrel and push it so it falls down. I know how to script it so the soldier walks towards the barrel and does the push animation, but I don't know how to make it so the barrel falls down!

If you could help me with this, I'd be really happy

[TomForrestTV]

Why does it seem that EVERYONE who makes Hammer tutorials is from New Zealand/Austrailia?

[Tormundellis]

@TomForrestTV Inorite? I luv the accent though :3

[minirobot1]

Can you add subtitles? Volume is very low, even with everything maxed.

[clayton99master]

I can't find trigger want

[tropicAL509]

I don't really understand the clipping tool, I can't it to be a small square.

[TheStaffer]

i made some zombies for a zombie rp map and the stand there unless i go within 5 feet of them anyone know how to make them awaken earlier. AND when i shoot them blood goes out and theres a bullet hole but they dont die.

[imp0ssiblew0rds]

@TheStaffer try going to their properties by dbl clicking or control t. Once that pops up, check it's strength by scrolling down to where it says strength. If there is any (I'm not sure) then just click it and change it to around 100-200. Then go to flags and it should say something about it's range of view, go ahead and uncheck or check that box.

[Deathbringer3557]

how do i do this without the trigger?

[kabobularproductions]

i kneed 2 know how to make friendly npc's

[elronman]

@kabobularproductions make a ai_relationship enter subject's *npc's name that you want friendly* and the target *type !player*

[RavingMonkeyMadmen]

when i spawn a npc it stands in a T shape and they wont move or attack me how do i fix it?

[RavingMonkeyMadmen]

i found out how to do it, i meant when u tested it btw

[imp0ssiblew0rds]

@HedgehogGamers whats up with the it.. ↑

[imp0ssiblew0rds]

@RavingMonkeyMadmen is that when u run the map or while your editing?

[RavingMonkeyMadmen]

@imp0ssiblew0rds wen i ran the map but i found out what the problem was i wasnt using hl2 i was using hl2 deathmatch thing

[imp0ssiblew0rds]

@RavingMonkeyMadmen I see.  glad you figured it out.

[fragclone]

Could someone tell me how to get an NPC [ex: Alyx] to follow the player? O_o

[cruckz]

@fragclone you can do this in a number of ways your best bet is scripted_sequence though.

[SuperCrazyKillah]

@cruckz no, its ai_goal_follow

[agha440]

there is no

trigger_want

[toncent]

@agha440 i think its trigger_once

[cruckz]

@toncent lol

[Xbeanieluver]

How do i change the outputs of a spawned npc that was spawned by the npc_maker by output? plz help!

[Smish132]

How do you make them jump?

[cruckz]

@Smish132 making them jump isnt a scripted sequence its just something they do if you place the info nodes correctly and tell them to go off a ledge if you have ep1 though you can get them to rappel down large surfaces using scripted_sequences as long as you have what they are jumping of the correct hieght

[Vlodrak]

how would i make a vortigaunt my enemy (and attack me), i know it can be done!

[forsakenfallenangel]

what did you say to put the trigger as when you press CTRL T? im confused

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

hmm. My soldier isn't coming through the glass it wont break automaticaly. I must break it. wat must i do?

[cruckz]

make a trigger to break the glass its in the second part !

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

[cruckz]

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

watch my short movie. I dont get 4 dots. I have to "slice" it into peaces

[Technobanana]

hahaha i love that " and bam " that is classic

[StageFightOfficial]

can you do this for CS:S?

[reacktsymdrom]

you can't spawn npc's in css, so no

[RomanJnD]

sure you can.. my friend spawned alex in css .. seh is sitting at the ground an when you come near to her sche stands up and vawes to you

[FreakFixtional]

I don't know how to do the box with the clipping tool!!!!

[MoviemakerNoeJ]

me to help!

[ownagenewb111]

omg your voice is awesome

[Olirap]

is there a way to put in custom npcs off the garrysmod website

[cruckz]

yeah but its complicated

[m12344c]

is there away i can spawn npc's like zombies and combines without hl2?

[DJdeaddude]

no because it uses the hl2 models. i guess you could try download the models + animations sepratly but i wouldnt hold your breath

[SoulzNinja]

You need HL2 for the models, so no.

[SherzMappingTuts]

Very good tutorial! Thanks!

[cruckz]

welcome :D

[coenwooldrik]

o, nevermind. awesome tutorials

[coenwooldrik]

hey dude, when you make a skybox, then the whole map is light but how can you make some parts of the map with a skybox without light?

[PENGUINZ00]

use a darker skybox :P

[Commanderlego]

what tecture did u do first ur like

"devolp texture 1.5 dodudoodoo BANG"

[yadda101]

put "dev" in the filter field. Without quotes obviously.

[MrPrezidentCS]

how could u put this stuff into multiplayer if you only have HL2?

[cruckz]

unless your doing a co-operative game like synergy (mod) its not useful in multiplayer games. npc= non playable character. so more focused for single player games .

[HaloFan220]

im trying 2 learn sdk and i realy want to do this but i cant seem 2 figure out something, when you used the cliping tool u made more then 1 line i can ony make 1, and if u click enter the whole area get cut off =\

[HaloFan220]

nvm did it

[chrismon0]

Yeah but if i look there there is nothing with ''npc_'' how can i get those?

[Xaviertherocker]

iTs messed up then :/ srry or your doin somthing wrong

[cruckz]

are you on deathmatch ???

[nosrednahnyuh]

i think i know what the problem is, make sure your current game is on half life: Deathmatch.

[chrismon0]

Where did you got the npc's from?

[cruckz]

entity's dropdown box on the right

[JulianBabe321]

u really like saying 'Gonna' :p

[FPSunderscoreSam]

Thank you Muchly Cruckz this has helped me alot.

[Feenuxz]

I dont get that thing with the clipping tool.. How do you make more of the dots?

[cruckz]

you can only make two but if you use it alot u will be suprized by the effects you can get from it

[gimmiesumsugar]

Fantastidoodalydudar!
